Hello 2 months!

I'm 8 weeks today! Well, according to the multiple apps on my phone lol. Had a little scare a few days ago. I went to the bathroom and saw a little bit of blood. I've read up and found it was normal; they call it "spotting." If it had gotten heavier and my cramps had gotten worse, I would of gone immediately to the hospital.

I'm still a little nauseous here and there, but for the most part I'm ok. The cramping is still there, but it depends on my movement as to whether it hurts more or not. Sandy and I have been looking at an apartment guide, trying to get an idea of where we're going to move to. I want something close, maybe Beltsville?

As soon as I get insurance, I'm going to the doctor. I need to call Ms. Spearman of Social Services tomorrow or Wednesday and see what's going on. I wish I could just go pick up my insurance card myself, but I have to wait until it's mailed to me.

So this is what my little peanut looks like right now. Hello baby!!! I know it's early but I really hope you turn out to be a girl. You're going to have a beautiful name and two parents who are going to do everything they can to make you happy.

Now some stuff from StorkNet!

Fetal Development:

An ultrasound done at this stage should show a fluttering heartbeat. Elbows begin to form in the arms and fingers start to develop. The leg buds begin to show feet with tiny notches for the toes. The face continues to change as the ears, eyes and the tip of the nose appear. The intestines start to form in the umbilical cord. Teeth develop under the gums. Maternal Changes: Your uterus is the size of an orange now, and you may find your waistline expanding. If this is your first pregnancy, you're probably not showing. If it's not your first, you may have a "pooch" already. You will tend to show earlier in subsequent pregnancies since your muscles and ligaments aren't so tight. You may be feeling like a teenager if you find yourself with pimples and other skin problems. Don't fret ~ pregnancy causes an increase in oil secretions not to mention those rampant hormones! Your break-outs will go away either after the first trimester as your hormones level off or after delivery.
