I am so lame at actually keeping up with this weekly but ya. This week has been a little nuts. I was off from work from wednesday on because I got sick. Apparently I caught some sort of flu bug. I went to the doctor and they said that they think I have the flu, and put me on tamiflu because they were worried that if I did have the flu or the dreaded H1N1 I could end up in the hospital before the test results even came back to let me know if I had the flu. He also said that I could have some crazy long word that basically amounts to a bladder infection that has moved to my kidneys that could be causing me fever. The doctor also said it could be both so he gave me tamiflu for the flu and amoxicilin for the infection. It was really scary because I dont have a normal family doctor so I didnt really know this doctor and did not feel very confident in him. I called my OBGYN for a second opinion and he said that it was ok for me to take the medicine and to stay out of the general public....in case I was contagious. I have been getting these little spouts of nauseousness...which really suck, but no m/s sickness yet.
How far along: 7 weeks and 3 days
Total weight gain: I have actually lost weight...but my weight is shifting. I can feel certain parts of my tummy tighten...its weird!

Sleep: Getting better. DH and I are finally figuring out a way for us both to stay comfortable. Of course I am still waking up multiple times during the night to use the restroom.
Best moment of the week: Umm this week hasnt been to great with pregnancy stuff. I have been really nervouse this week. I woke up the morning to find I had some bleeding while I was sleepin. The doctor said that the kind I was having was normal, but I am still a little nervous
Movement: No baby movement yet...the only movement is my food...trying to stay down!
Food cravings: Ramen soup...could be from the flu.
Belly button in or out: Inny

What I am looking foreard to: Oct14th sono. I am looking forward to hearing the doctor say thet despite fears of the flu and swine flu and kidney infections and bleeding, that all is well and baby is good. I really hope to hear the heartbeat too.
Milestone: Seeing heartbeat last week.
"Baby is the about the size of a blueberry. Average embryo: .51 in. Baby's brain-- both hemisoheres!-- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place. " -- the bump.com
