Week 6

Baby is the Size of a Sweet Pea

6 weeks, 3 days

 Thank you to my amazing friend Nicole for making this banner to use each week :) 

I can't believe how much this little one has already grown in size.
Baby is 1/4 of an inch long.

How far along? 6 weeks

Maternity clothes? No- but, I did use the rubber band trick once this week because my pants were uncomfortable. 

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Naps are my new best friend.  I am not a napper, but everyday this week around 3:00 I fall asleep on the couch for about an hour.   

Best moment this week: Receiving our first "Congratulations" card from the Rowans! Having someone to talk to helps tremendously and makes it feel more real.

Miss Anything? COFFEE.  I miss my morning and afternoon pick me ups.  I have decaf some mornings, but it just isn't cutting it.  

Movement: None

Food cravings: Everything and nothing.  I want something desperately until it's in front of me and then it grosses me out.  Last night I attempted to make a salad, but once the lettuce was in the bowl my mind changed and I couldn't eat it.   Unless it's ice cream, I can always eat ice cream. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Indian food, which I used to love.  The smell and look of it makes me nauseous.  

Gender: Already impatient with waiting.... 

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: 

-Constant morning sickness, which only goes away when I eat.  The problem with that is that I'm not hungry this week.  It feels like an all day hangover, everyday.  I should probably be eating healthier than I am, but right now I just need to eat whatever I can stomach.  

-Abdominal cramping has slowed down, thankfully.  It was painful last week, so I'm glad to see that start to fade away. 

-Exhaustion=naps

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Both

Looking forward to: Sharing the news with our families on Father's Day and for my first ultrasound next week.
