Being Pregnant
8 Weeks Pregnant

This baby may only be the size of a raspberry this week, but wow he/she is making me super sick… still!
I am going to try and do week to week posts tracking development, news, and what is going on with my pregnancy that specific week including the best part of pregnancy, cravings!
This week I had my first prenatal care appointment with a group of Midwives I was referred to, and I absolutely love the midwife I met, and am really excited about seeing this practice. We discussed all of my options for having a VBA2C and the options I have if I make the choice to have a repeat cesarean section also. Something we all will talk about in great detail over the next 5-6ish months, which is my goal to making a final decision. But knowing myself, I won’t make a final choice until a week before my due date! Procrastination much?
What kind of other exciting stuff is going on with my little peanut this week? Well his or her limbs are starting to grow longer, and even form elbows. How awesome is that? Little one is also forming fingers, and eyelids. Who would have thought?
I guess a ton of stuff really goes into growing a little human being! I never put too much thought into it. Like, I knew I was pregnant and clearly housing a little human, but I never sat down and looked at the stages of development, and really investigated what was going on. It really is neat!
This week, I have had a ton of random cravings.
- Greek Salad with tons of Feta Cheese
- Oreo’s & Milk
- Apple Cider
And yes, my feta and cider were both pasteurized! Be sure to make sure the fresh foods you consume during pregnancy are all pasteurized if farm products. Especially if you are getting them from smaller local farms!
Overall that is the scoop for week 8. Hopefully sharing this experience with all the Babble Being Pregnancy readers will help it to scoot by much faster!
