Next week we are 8 weeks pregnant. I have been very lucky in not having very bad symptoms. My biggest complaint is fatigue. I am worn out after only a couples of hours at work or out and about. A midday nap helps, but those are only possible on my days off. I haven't been throwing up or getting nausea very often, and my gas has gotten a lot better since the first few weeks. Our little bambino/a is the size of a blueberry right now, and by next week will be the size of an olive. One thing that Jenn & I love to do is to read our different pregnancy apps to find out what is actually going on in there. These little things grow so quickly! We are 4 weeks away from our second trimester, and our families are getting baby fever. For the past few days I spent a good part of each day discussing baby items, baby showers, and all sorts of baby related things. I kind of love it!
On a sadder note, we have decided to give our dogs to someone else. It is someone they know well, so they are going to a good home. This decision has been a really hard one to make, but a necessary one. Between, lack of time for them, the danger aspect, and the house full of a Husky's winter coat, there is just no way to keep them and the baby healthy and happy. We have spent a lot of time, money & emotions on getting pregnant, and the last thing we need to to put that child in an unhealthy enviroment. Maybe when the baby is a little older we will get a smaller, more easily handled dog...or at least after we have our second child.
