Week 8: Shaken, not Stirred

By the end of week 8, our little embryo is actually starting to look more like a baby and less like a manatee and is approximately the size of a medium green olive. I've also started seeing some light at the end of the tunnel regarding my constant nausea! I've gone from being sick about 20 hours/day to only about 10! I attribute much of that improvement to a carb heavy diet of spaghetti Os and frozen pretzels and the miracle elixir known as Pepsi. My pants aren't exactly thanking me... It's really unfortunate that at the time when I should be eating my healthiest, I'm actually eating worse than ever... But I guess I'm not doing myself any favors by making myself sick with food. I'm sure people have done a lot worse and had normal babies. On a lighter note, here is a comparison of week 7 versus week 8... No wonder I'm so exhausted!

there is plenty of time to eat healthy when you are not busy trying to not throw up!
