The Boening Bunch: The first two months...

Its so hard to believe last week marked the 8th week of my pregnancy...2 months already!! Crazy that in 7 months we will have a BABY...I think its still sinking in. I have had some technical difficulties getting these pictures off of Barry's fancy schmancy camera, which is why I haven't posted...but I finally figured it out. Turns out my dinosaur iPhone really isn't all that bad!

We started taking pictures at week 5...there still really isn't anything to see, although I feel much bigger. My jeans are unbuttoned as I sit here writing...TMI?!? I guess my stomach is getting bigger, but I can still "suck in" which I imagine will be ending pretty shortly! I haven't gained any weight yet either...kind of. I had lost a pound or two so now I am back up to where I was the day I found out I was pregnant...on some days!

Please excuse my extreme lack of fashion sense...but this is what I wear to work, and I take casual Friday to the extreme.

5 weeks


Taking pics by yourself is so awkward!

6 weeks

That may look like a small bump, but its just my shirt...I won't be able to say that too much longer so I have to while I can!


7 weeks

Hello crazy hair! The fatigue is clearly setting in. My super cute but extremely un-photogenic dog felt the need to join in this day. I will spare you the other pics because they were just too bad! Yes, it does get worse than this one! Week 7 is when I really started to feel pregnant. Still no nausea or anything...thank goodness...but sooooooooo tired and very little appetite. Somehow still have an appetite for Easter candy though...weird!

8 weeks

We were going out for dinner so I actually got out of my stretchy dry fit clothes for the evening. I am not one to show my stomach...EVER, but I figure while I still have the slightest bit of abs no harm done. This will probably be the one and only! I will spare you all the sight of my giant pregnant belly when it does come, don't worry!

Still feeling pretty pregnant. 10-12 hours of sleep at night is hardly enough. I have broadened my horizons with food...I even ate a steak last Friday when we went out to eat. But, pretty much all I was to eat is carbs. I am over peanut butter and jelly for the time being, but still doing the Spaghettios. I eat Saltines all day at my desk and am really into smoothies right now. I am sure Barry is ready for this part to be over - he is on a steady diet of frozen pizza & mac and cheese...neither of which I am interested in. It is the strangest thing that foods that I would normally demolish make me turn my head! I promised him I would cook for him again some day and we would be eating veggies again eventually! I did manage to cook spaghetti the other night...raw meat and all...I even ate it...along with lots of garlic bread.

Baby B is now the size of a olive...but that grosses me out so I changed it to a grape. Almost 1 inch from head to behind! The baby can move its tiny arms and legs and is growing a liver, spleen and gallbladder this week. Such hard work...for both of us! We head back to the doctor 2 weeks from today...looking forward to hearing the heart beat again and asking all the questions we forgot to ask last time!

Look how excited Cora is about her cousin!
