I decided that at 8 weeks I would start tracking things using the ever popular pregnancy surveys, more for my own notes than anything. I'm getting a scrapbook together that I'm going the start with 8 weeks and go all the way through labor. I realistically know that I'm not going to work on it each week, so hopefully these surveys will help jog my memory for journaling.
How far along: 8 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: I've actually lost 2 lbs from IVF, Up 2.5 lbs from pre-treatment.
Maternity clothes: Belly band and some shirts. Mostly just stretchy skirts and a couple used to be too big pants.
Stretch marks: Just some flaring around existing ones
Sleep: Actually better than I have in a long time. As long as the dogs aren't up at 7 that is.
Movement: Too soon for that.
Cravings: None really
Aversions: Anything with a strong odor...good or bad. Hot sauce is constantly making me want to puke.
Gender: We'll find out when we can.
Symptoms: Nausea about every day. I've only puked a couple times thankfully. Heartburn from about 2:30 pm on every day.
What I miss: Honestly, Sex. Between the bloat and the other symptoms, even though we got the ok from the Doc, its just not happening.
What I look forward to: Ultrasound in 10 Days. Seeing my little bean again, actually looking like a baby.
Moods: All over the place. Poor A!
Milestones: none this week.
Medical Concerns: getting over the ohss.
Weekly Wisdom: Lots of small meals keep nausea and discomfort at bay
Best moment this week: Just been status quo
Worst moment this week: Status quo

We sound the same :) I graduate from the fertility doc today!!! I wanted to get a baby journal, but sadly, I know I will do better with the blog than pen and paper, so blog it is. I am so excited for us!
