7 weeks, 2 days...

It would appear like I am obsessed. Really I am not. I had this bright idea to post a belly shot every 4 weeks. I quickly decided that was sort of dumb. This is my 8th pregnancy...I really have given up on the fact that you can really even tell when I show or not. This is my belly at 7 weeks, 2 days. Hard to believe something that looks like a seahorse and as small as a raisin is residing deep down in my uterus. I look huge!! I had a pretty nice figure around Thanksgiving. I tried putting on a pair of jeans I wore while I was in West Virginia..ha ha! They wouldn't even button. What is up with that? What is going on? The weird thing to is that my stomach is hard. I look like I typically do when I am around 5 months. Can you imagine what I am going to look like in August? Watch out! I am not complaining. Pregnancy is a good time in my life. I have become a pro at it all. I could write my very own book. I have to ask the question though, "What is going on in there?"

To ease my mind a little I rented one of those fetal dopplers. My sister told me about a girl she saw on Youtube that had one. They came from BellyBeats . I was skeptical at first. I really didn't want to invest in something like that. But it is only $25.00 a month! I should get it in the mail (free shipping!) on Thursday. It should detect the baby's heartbeat now. I can listen to it anytime I want between Dr. visits. Not to mention Chris and the kids can listen too. I think it is wonderful. I am pretty anxious to hear this baby's heartbeat.

It would appear too that I have all but forgotten about the other kids. Fact is that I haven't. I have some pictures I need to upload from Christmas. They are all pretty excited about the baby. I just wished I felt a little better. But I am not going to complain once again because it could be worse. A lot worse! I am just hoping and praying this is as bad as it gets. I am hungry, but nothing sounds good. I hate that. Well you can pretty much count on me having another pic posted in 2 weeks. I will be 9 weeks. Hopefully by then my Dr. will have seen me I will have more to write about. Until then.....wish me luck!
