First off, today I'm 8 weeks pregnant! Very exciting to get to 2 months. I really feel like it's been just a few weeks from the transfer! Kellie had this cute idea to document the process from both sides. So we will continue to update every month with these photos. This is Chris & Kellie's hands holding a raspberry since that's the size of Baby Kaufman right now! And then there's me!
I haven't started showing yet. I am just to the awkward point where I'm starting to feel a little tight in my clothes. Since my only other pregnancy was twins, I feel like the chances of showing early, are pretty good! So, we'll see what the next few weeks bring!
I'm feeling pretty good! Weeks 6-7 I was sooooo tired. Couldn't get through the day without a short nap . And just had no energy to do much! But week 7-8 has been good to me on energy levels. I'm feeling much better. However, nausea kicked in this week. I had several days I almost felt like I could get sick. Never did get sick... and the key to me is to drink something often (decaf iced tea has been my favorite lately; too much flavor in anything isn't helpful right now!).
Another weird thing I've had is my heart skipping beats! Did anyone out there experience this with pregnancy? It's such a weird feeling! I've had 2 days this week where it happens several times in an hour throughout the whole day. Luckily, I have my handy OB nurse (my mom) on-call all the time and I called her and she told me it's totally normal with pregnancy. I had no idea! It's not something I experienced with my boys.
My mom said to pay attention and if it keeps up more regularly, I will want to mention it to my OB. So far today I've not noticed it much. But it does tend to flair up more in the evening.
Otherwise I'm feeling really good! We move into our new house in a few weeks so getting the house packed up doesn't sound too fun :) luckily we are hiring movers to move everything so I'm glad I don't have to worry about overdoing it.
Another thing is I realized I never posted the debut photo of Baby Kaufman!! Here he/she is at 6 weeks 3 days! Heart rate was 126 and everything looked great!
I have another ultrasound in 10 days to confirm baby is still looking good... (And I know it will!!).
I think that's all the exciting information I have for now!
Thanks for the continued support! Now we just #GrowBabyGrow!!
