8 weeks

We made it this far. Woot. Now 3 more wake-ups until our first ultrasound.
I realized after our appointment on Wednesday that I am not drinking enough water. I started feeling a little light headed yesterday and it continued into the evening.
Because I am peeing so much, I need to be drinking more. I haven't even been able to get in 64 oz a day, and I know while pregnant you need so much more. So today I am on a mission to drink, drink, drink. I can no longer use my "stuck in a classroom" excuse. I will have to FIND someone to cover my class so I can go to the bathroom. I need to do this for me and the baby. I started during my mid-night pee. I drank about a glass of water. Then when I woke up for real I downed a full tall glass. I will have another before I shower and I will finish my full canteen at school. I have a plan. I like plans.

Anyway, speaking of water....did you hear that Jessie's water broke? So exciting! I can't wait to hear about her little one's arrival. I will be thinking of them all day today (as I drink my water, of course!)

Your water plan sounds great! Don't forget that juice counts too, as does fruit with high water content (love that watermelon).

Congrats on 8 weeks!

YEAH!!!! Sounds like things are progressing nicely! You just inspired me to drink more water and when I was finished reading I got a big glass. Being a month behind you, I am going to really look forward to your posts and what I can expect! So exciting!
