8 weeks

As of Saturday July 2 the baby is 8 weeks old and the size of a raspberry. Just in the last couple of days my morning sickness has started to get just a bit better. I'm hoping that means that it's starting to go away. It did scare me at first that my symptoms were getting better but at 8 weeks the placenta starts taking over. This means that the hormones for the baby are produced from the placenta and not me, because of this some women start to feel a bit better. Obviously I won't feel totally better until 12-14 weeks but at least it is getting better slowly. I just can't wait to have some energy back :) So even though it's still small here is a picture of "the bump" so far.

Hopefully it will be a little bigger when I come home.
