Today is officially 8 weeks. My little BB is the size of a raspberry and apparently has ear buds and arms/legs and webbed fingers and toes. Crazy to think that this is growing inside if me.
I must admit I have been feeling pretty good overall (which still scares me). I do have indigestion often and the excessive saliva shows up off and on. Really can't complain as I haven't had any exhaustion. I don't really have an appetite for anything but have been eating lots of carbs. Chips. Lots of chips. It really helps the saliva and indigestion if only temporarily.
Three more days until I get to hear BB's heartbeat again. I have had major anxiety that it won't be there this time.. I know it's an irrational fear but I have to acknowledge the fear regardless. Work has been a distraction but I must admit I am glad I have the whole week off. I had a large amount of PTO that I would lose so it just so happens that I scheduled this week. Will try to stay busy with errands, lunch with my 98 year old grandma and Bday breakfast with a good friend.
If I am lucky enough to hear the miracle heartbeat again, I will have 5 more weeks till the end of the first trimester. Basically, getting through October. Each day is a step longer than before. So for today, it's 8 weeks with my BB.
Beat little BB. Beat.
Congrats on eight weeks! The anxiety about the next ultrasound is totally normal - I have major anxiety before each one. It's so hard after everything to believe that something bad won't happen.
