I grow humans, what’s your superpower? — 8 weeks pregnant

At the end of eight weeks, your baby is looking less like an embryo and more like a tiny human! The exhaustion is real. But is the mega-fatigue really so surprising given all the amazing things you're doing? AHEM: You're growing your baby's hands this week. ? Right now they look like little paddles, but can you imagine the first time those tiny hands grab yours?! THE ADORABLENESS. Keep thinking happy thoughts of baby as much as you can, because morning sickness really starts to peak for many women around week eight. Try small, frequent meals of bland food—whatever you can stomach. And talk to your doctor if your vomiting is out of control, because you don't want to become dehydrated. Better days are ahead. We promise.XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Getting ready to tell your family the big news? These are some of our favorite announcements to help inspire you!
