8 weeks!!

How Far Along: 8 weeks!!!
Total Weight Gain: Still hoping for 0, still need to buy a scale.
Maternity Clothes: None, but I did order a be-band. I'm hoping to hold off a while longer before needing it though.
Sleep: Great!
Best Moment This Week: calling the doctor to hear that my progesterone has gone from a 3.9 to a 4.1 to a 23.5!!! That's fantastic!
Movement: None
Gender: No clue
Labor Signs: None, thankfully!
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss: Getting to work on time
What I'm Looking Forward to: My appointment with the new doctor tomorrow!
Weekly Wisdom: I'm not feeling insightful this week...
Milestones: 8 weeks which also means my placenta is producing progesterone now! YAY!

What the babe is up to:
This week, your little tadpole is starting to look a little bit more human. Other exciting developments include:

Your baby's eyelids, ears, upper lip and the tip of his soon-to-be adorable button nose are forming.

Junior will also sprout webbed fingers and toes this week—which you'll be well aware of in a few months, as baby starts early gymnastics classes inside you.

Baby's tiny heart has separated into four distinct chambers and is really ticking now—at a rate of 150 beats per minute. That's more than twice your resting heart rate (even when Brad Pitt is on the screen).

Your baby is now a little more than ½ inch long, about the size of the rock in Eva Longoria's engagement ring, and is about as heavy as the check Tony Parker wrote to pay for it.
