6 weeks! But who's counting? ;)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I looked at my 5 week post and it makes me laugh because I had so much energy last week! This week has been extremely exhausting and I'm lucky to even keep my eyes open. Brandon and I hosted Thanksgiving dinner with our friends Jen and Matt and it was nice having some time at home to relax. I feel like the only thing curbing my nausea is eating so Thanksgiving was perfect for me. I know it's not good to over eat but I'm finding it hard not to eat all the time. I definitely won't be one of those girls who loses weight her first trimester at this rate. This coming week will be an exciting week for us. Brandon is turning 28 on Tuesday and we are going to get our first peak at baby Sev that day. I had some weird spotting last week so they are going to go in and find out what caused it. The good thing is that it has stopped so hopefully everything is ok in there. I will keep you updated on Tuesdays appoinment and hopefully post a pic of baby sev!

6 weeks pregnant

Has the news sunk in yet? At six weeks, your pregnancy is still new to you, so it’s normal to feel a little emotional. Add that to some pretty uncomfortable early pregnancy symptoms (which include hormone fluctuations that can feel like PMS -- on steroids!), and it’s understandable to feel downright miserable. That’s probably why you have a whole nine months to adjust to pregnancy -- and also because baby needs all that time to get all her working parts in order. What’s amazing is that of many of the crucial areas of baby development have already started at 6 weeks including circulating blood and sprouting eyes. Now that you're pregnant, you probably have a million questions on your mind. Be sure to write them down so you have them ready to ask your OB at your first prenatal visit. Until then, we hope we can answer a bunch for you.

your baby's the size of a sweet pea!

The average embryo at week 6 is about .25 inches and will double in size again next week. Wow!
