WE MADE IT!

6 weeks is here and everything is still going swimmingly.

What I learned about being 6 weeks pregnant:

My growing baby this week is now the size of a pea. (I love peas)

This week your baby-to-be's brain begins to take shape. Her head becomes more distinct with tiny spots appearing that mark the places where her eyes will form. Spots for her ears also become visible. Buds that will later become arms and legs begin. And for the first time your baby's heart beats. Within her growing midsection, what will become her lungs, liver, and other organs are forming.

Fun Fact:
This week marks a milestone—your baby-to-be's heart takes its first beats. Your baby also hit a growth spurt—she tripled in size!

6 weeks tomorrow!

So far so good. I've made it to today. In two days I'll know more about the status of what is going on up in there. Chris & I are anxious to get to the u/s and to know everything is okay.

So far, I've been monster tired, but not sleepy. I haven't had terrible m/s, but have woken up not feeling great. I've had a few cravings, but nothing odd. No pickles and ice cream here!
My boobs seem to take turns being sore. Once in a while I get a reprieve from major soreness, but they're pretty tender all the time.

I'm not complaining, believe me. The whole thing is a wonder. I just want to know all is well.

Nerves

I'm almost 6 weeks, which is when I had the last miscarriage. Needless to say, I'm a bit freaked. Things have been going much better this time around, but I still worry. I wish Thursday would hurry up and get here so I can get to the doc and hear that everything is fine.

Do I dare say it?

I don't feel too bad. I'm tired and have been having the sore boobs, but otherwise nothing too terribly awful (yet). I get alot of strange looks at work and when out with friends, since I pee pretty much every 15 minutes or so.

I'm anxious for my appointment on Thursday. I really hope everything is going well. My mom is confident, but she's also very optimistic. Me, on the other hand, I'm a nervous wreck, lol.

Boobs, bloat and brain fog

If ever I thought a man invented bras, I double that now. Although not 24/7, my boobs are sore beyond belief. It doesn't matter what type of bra I wear, I long for the moment I can rip it off!

I'm officially also bloated. My pants still fit but I am afraid I'll pop if I sit down too fast. Might have to invest in a bella band (I think that's what it's called).

Finally, the brain fog. I am forgetting to do things at work. Nothing major, just to make a copy of something or put a file away. Top that off with being sleepy I'm just about worthless at getting my work done as quickly as before.

Somebody pinch me!

Ok, not that hard! I got a bfp! I'm excited and smiley and nervous. I changed my doctor's appointment to an OB one and hope that things go smoothly and continue to go smoothly. I've convinced myself it's meant to be, and everything will be fine. I just hope my body agrees.

Yoga does a body good

I have been trying really hard to get my yoga in at least 3-4 times a week. I was up really early today so I did the AM version. Man does it help!

I've lost 3 lbs since I started. I'm nowhere near what I want to be, but it's a great start. My next goal is to do something about those damn fries that call to me...
