8 weeks 1 day - Happy Thanksgiving!
Things I'm thankful for :
My Hubby
My Baby
My scooter
Friends (although you're so far away!)
My Parents

Life has been rather up-side down this past week. Our car had o go in for repairs so we could get our Alberta registration and insurance. Instead of the car being in he shop for one day it was in for three, and it cost us three times the original quoted price! Now the car is uninsured because by the time we got the car back all the insurance brokers were closed for he long weekend and our insurance ran out on Saturday.
No turkey this thanksgiving and other than my hubby and brother-in-law I have no family to share it with here.
My closest friend from high school had a beautiful baby boy this week and I wish so bad I could be here to meet him and help her out anyway I could.
My hubby's maternal grandmother passed away this past week as well.She was the matriarch of he family and all family event happened at Grandma's house, family event will forever be changed without her around.
I know this is Thanksgiving weekend and I should be so grateful for all the blessings in my life- I am- but I'm feeling rather isolated and depressed right now too.

I have started taking Nutrilite's Stress B complex which is a vitamin B complex and it seems o be helping me cope with at least some of the nausea so I have finally found a few foods that I can stomach... now if I could move into some actually nutritious foods that wold be good. Right now my dietary staples are: vanilla ice cream, oatmeal, rice krispies, and peanut butter& jam sandwiches. So far my only cravings have been turkey (no go too expensive now) and root beer.

Your embryo is now called a fetus, which means 'offspring'. Your uterus expands to accommodate its new resident, which now measures approximately five-eights of an inch / 1.6 centimetres. Many changes take place this week -- the embryonic tail is gone, and all organs, muscles, and nerves are beginning to function. The hands now bend at the wrist, and the feet begin to lose their webbed appearance. Eyelids are beginning to cover the eyes.

Your pregnancy is changing your figure as well. Your breasts may have grown large enough that you'll need bigger bras with better support than your old ones (not yet although they sure do hurt!). You may notice your waistline expanding as well, forcing you to pack away your favourite jeans until next year (I started wearing maternity pants to work this week as my work pants cut right across he middle of my belly and hey hurt!). If you drink plenty of fluoridated water -- eight glasses or more a day -- you should be getting enough fluoride so calcium and phosphorus will bond well in your baby's developing teeth and bones.
