6 Weeks

I've made it to the 6 week mark today. And, boy does it feel like I've hit the 6 week mark.

Here are some updates on the growing belly and me.

Size: Lentil

Weight Gain: -1 pound. I am 113.

Symptoms: I don't think I can get much more tired. I am EXHAUSTED! Not just sleepy tired, but believe me I could fall asleep any time of the day if someone let me. But, I was pushing Alden on the swings at the park the other day and I was out of breath by the end of it. How horrible is that?? I vacuumed and swept the living room and dining room and was winded. Crazy how tired I am. Nausea has increased slightly. I am having more waves of nausea throughout the day. Nothing too horrible, I can handle it right now, but it's definitely not fun.

Sleep: Yes, please. And more of it??? LOL! I am ZONKED when my head hits the pillow at night. The last two nights have been nice. The boys have slept really well and slept in a little. THANK YOU LORD! That means, I've been able to get another hour of sleep. I could sleep all day if someone let me. I would love to take naps during the day, but with 2 kids that doesn't really work. So, I try to take some rest periods during the day and kick my feet up. But, more sleep would be wonderful. I hate feeling like I'm in a fog all the time.

Cravings: None. Food doesn't sound great right now. I eat to stay healthy, but nothing really hits the spot or sounds good. Good ol' morning sickness.

Best Moment: Sleeping through the night, two nights in a row. :) I also had a doctors appointment today. Everything looks good. I'm not sure why I came in so early in the pregnancy, but it was good. They did an ultrasound and since I'm only 6 weeks 0 days, it was too early to detect a heartbeat. It freaked me out that there was no heartbeat, but of course, I came home and googled it. Within the 6th week, there is only a 50% chance of detecting a heartbeat, and I was on the first day of the 6th week, so it was even more unlikely. So, no heartbeat detection yet, but everything else inside there was looking healthy.

Looking Forward To: My sister and her family coming next week for the weekend!!!! We haven't seen them since Thanksgiving. Also, my 9 week doctors appointment, where they will do a 2nd ultrasound, to recheck everything. :) I am also looking forward to feeling better, but I still have many weeks of misery before then.

I haven't taken a belly picture yet, since there isn't really a belly. I'm definitely bloated, but no belly. So, within the next few weeks I will take one.

6 weeks down, 34 to go.

Until next time.
