8 Weeks | Baby 2.0 - Ashlee Nichols

The Bump: I’m seeing it more and more…but I know it’s just bloat and not actual baby. I’m looking the exact same as I did with my first pregnancy! Left is LC and right is baby 2!

Symptoms: I’ve been sick twice. Other than that, just super tired! Just soooo very thankful I’m not sick daily like I was with LC!

Food Cravings: ABSOLUTELY NO MEAT. So weird. I’ve loved Root Beer and pickles more than normal this week, too.

Sleep: If I don’t get a nap, I’m fighting to keep my eyes open through supper. I usually take at least one nap while Laikyn sleeps. I have gotten absolutely nothing done that I need to!

What I miss: I craved red beer this week. I guess I’ll have to mix clamato with Odoull’s haha!

Any Names Picked Out Yet: I have a few that I love, but getting hubby to agree will be the hardest part! And, I’m sure it’ll change.

Gender: We decided to find out the gender so we can plan. I’m such a planner! We will find out by sonogram at 15 weeks at the latest, or by blood test in a few weeks! It’s still up in the air!

Best Moment of the Week: We told the rest of our family and announced on FB and Instagram! It feels so good for everyone to know that our little family is growing! Laikyn and I also traveled with my family this week to Austin and Fredericksburg to accept an award given to my family for land heritage. 100 years of Kuhlman land, wow!!! Oh, and I found baby’s N’s heartbeat on the at home doppler!!! YAY! It ranged from 117-135 and was the sweetest sound! 🙂

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: I have a dr’s appointment next week so hopefully they will find the heartbeat and make sure everything is good. They won’t schedule another sonogram for us until 20 weeks, so that’s a bummer! Also, Holiday Happening is in Lubbock next week..that always gets me in the Christmas spirit! Can’t wait to start decorating and celebrating!
