7 weeks: I have a blueberry!

My mornings: What do you classify as morning? I'm back on my 4 night shifts. Morning to me is 4 p.m. Feeling good and awake, despite only sleeping 45 minutes at a time.

My nights: 6 a.m. is my bed time and if it is delayed by another hour, I wouldn't survive. Some days, I'm not even sure how I drive home after work. Overall, my nights are filled with bloat buildup from the day or evening or night shift. Ah heck, I can't even tell you what day it is much less what TIME of day it is. 

How far along: 7 weeks

How big is baby: Baby is a blueberry and is .51 inches. It weighs .04 ounces! It is now measurable in weight as well as size. This week is when several important formations start happening, including the little nose bud. I'm just hoping the nose looks like DH's instead of mine. 

Weight: I'm going to say 125 was my starting weight. It's a nice pretty number and the weight gain from OHSS and my previous running/in shape weight was affected by that. Considering I am bloated and eating like a horse, it doesn't surprise me that the scale says I've gained 5 pounds in one week. But that was mid afternoon weigh in and I know the poop baby and bloat are large parts of that. Otherwise, I'm really going to gain 100 pounds this pregnancy. 33 more weeks x 5 pounds a week = OH CRIKEEEE! Don't do that math please. 

How I’m changing: My boobs have went from a 34B to a 34C and I'm closing my belt at one larger size now. I started unbuckling my pants at work. 

What I miss: I miss running.

Symptoms: I may eat myself out of house and home before too long. I can't eat enough. No matter what I do, I am hungry a couple hours after eating. 

Here's one that does concern me a bit. For as long as I can remember, I've had moments where it feels like my heart skips a beat. It chokes me up and I started coughing. Before pregnancy, I noticed it once a monthish. Maybe? It wasn't anything frequent so I didn't worry much about it. Since my BFP, it has increased and happens daily, sometimes more. I'm definitely going to mention it to my doctor, but from what I'm reading it can be normal and a result of the increased blood supply and flow. 

No morning sickness. Thank goodness. The fatigue still hits me every day. That's been rough to deal with on night shift, but I'm crawling through it.

Sore boobs and cramps continue. Nothing new there.

Cravings: Nothing specific. Just hungry. All. The. Dang. Time. I looked back at last weeks post and I said then it was easing up some from the previous week, so that gives me hope that this constant hunger will fluctuate and ease up eventually. 

Food Aversions: Nothing yet. Food is still appealing right now. 

Highlights this week: DH is being incredibly sweet. He touches my bloat belly all the time and gets me anything I want. This is a major change for him. He's not an overly emotional guy and those of you IRL who know him would never see him hugging and kissing me in front of others. He will probably never be the overly romantic guy, but he takes care of me. He just doesn't like credit for it. He doesn't even like it if I thank him for his kindness. He's a weirdo. 

Maternity clothes: None yet. But pants may be switching soon if the bloat keeps growing. I don't have much more room in these pants. 

Stretch marks: None.

Sleep: Some nights I sleep good. Some I don't. It still hurts to lay on my boobs, but I have had a few nights of not having to wear a sports bra to bed so that's more comfortable. 

Best moment last week: We're refinancing our house. Yay for hopefully getting a new lower interest rate and mortgage payment soon! 

Movement: Nothing but gas.

Gender: This week my mind says boy. Next week it will say girl. 

Labor signs: Nope. Way too soon.

Belly button: I will still be an innie for a while.

What I am looking forward to: My next US at 7w,4d. Thursday can't come soon enough! 

Plus, this week is going to end with a bang as it's finally time to meet two of my creepy online friends! They're coming to town! I can't wait to meet you Cici and Sarah! More to come on the reason for their trip in an upcoming post! 

Milestones: Everything is a milestone for me so far. I'm trying to stay positive but I have my moments of weakness and worry. But each day that passes is a good day for me.
