How big is baby? Blueberry
What's happening right now? Baby is generating hundreds of new brain cells every minute. Arms and legs are also starting to form.
How am I feeling? Nausea really started to take hold this week. If I didn't eat enough or quickly enough when I got hungry, I got nauseous. If I ate too much I got nauseous. I couldn't win.
Weight gain? Still haven't gained anything. From what I understand, weight gain starts picking up in the second trimester.
Sleep? Insomnia started this week. My days and nights were all mixed up. Exhausted during the day, but couldn't sleep for shit during at night.
Significant events? Spotting finally started tapering off this week, which really helped my nerves.
8 Weeks
How big is baby? Raspberry
What's happening right now? Arms and legs are starting to move and taste buds are forming. And baby doesn't have a tail anymore!
How am I feeling? Nausea is in full force, but I hadn't puked (yet).
Weight gain? Yep, nothing so far.
Sleep? Still not sleeping for shit.
Significant events? Had my OB intake appointment this week, and went over all my paperwork. We made my first official appointment for the HB check, and a physical. So excited, but it's so far away :(.

How big is baby? Olive
What's happening right now? There is debate about when this actually happens, but according to The Bump, baby is now a fetus! More distinct facial features are forming, and heartbeat might be picked up by a fetal doppler.
How am I feeling? Nausea sucks. And backs and hips started to hurt around this point. And I started to get some serious nasal congestion this week. And constipation is a bitch.
Weight gain? Still nothing, but I know that is gonna be short-lived.
Sleep? Eff-you insomnia. And your friend, daytime fatigue.
Significant events? Nothing really. This week was pretty uneventful.
10 Weeks
How big is baby? Prune
What's happening right now? Baby now has working arm joints, and vital organs are now fully formed. And baby is kicking up a storm!
How am I feeling? Nausea started to let up this week. And I finally convinced Jon I needed a pregnancy body pillow, and it was a godsend for my hips and back. And constipation is still a bitch.
Weight gain? Not sure, but I feel like I started to gain this week. I am afraid to get on the scale.
Sleep? God bless the person who invented the pregnancy body pillow. I got my first full night's sleep when I finally got one. It was awesome.
Significant events? Towards the end of this week (10w5d) we got a "pregnancy confirmation" ultrasound at a place here in town. And we got to see our little bean and finally get a heartbeat reading. It was so cool to see him/her kicking and punching, and the tech sent us home with a couple of pictures and emailed us a lot more (along with a video).
Here is our little jumping bean!
