8 Weeks

Here is the first baby bump photo at 8 weeks. This was taken on Sunday Jan. 9th 2011.  I'm not showing yet!!! The little bulge is only bloating, which I didn't anticipate but I've been told is completely normal due to a slowed down digestive tract for nutrient absorption and also the folic acid in the prenantal vitamins.  I have been having morning sickness here and there and a little fatigue, but other than that I feel fine.  As for weight, I have not gained any (according to literature you arent really supposed to yet) I have actually lost a few pounds from when we found out.  I attribute it to eating healthier, moderate exercise and not drinking alcohol.      
The baby this week; webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it. (babycenter.com)
