Week 6: Sweet Pea

I know that some people find the weekly updates long, and not so interesting.  But I want to make sure I document as much as I can for my own sake.  So feel free to just skip these posts if they bore you :)

How far along: 6 weeks.  Obviously, she's growing like crazy!  She's also circulating blood with her increasingly more sophisticated circulatory sytem.  She's about to get cuter too, since she's starting to sprout a nose, eyes, ears, chin and cheeks.  And she might even be wiggling her (paddle-like) hands and feet.

How big is baby: The size of a sweet pea.  Baby measured 8.9 mm today to be exact :)

Weight gain/loss:  Not sure.  I should probably weigh myself sometime soon.

Stretch marks: No.

Sleep:  Super tired!  I go to bed at about 9 every night now (yes, even the weekends).  Getting up for work at 6am has been rough.  I've definitely been hitting the snooze.  It was heavenly being at home this weekend and being able to sleep until 9 or 10 with no interuptions.

Diet/Cravings/Aversions:  Not feeling sick really at all (yet?).  I do get hungry quite often so I have to remember to bring snacks for work. 

Exercise:  Not really :(  With the cramping and bleading, I've been trying to take it easy.  I've taken Wally for a few 30 minute walks.  I'm going to reevaluate after out ultrasound next week.  I'd like to still do the eliptical and walk on the treadmill.

Gender: Obviously, it's way to early to tell.  And I'm leaning towards being suprised in October.

Movement: No.

The belly:  Nothing noticeable.  If anything, I feel like it's smaller since I'm so hungry all the time. 

What I'm spazzing about:  The cramping and bleading are the big ones.  Seeing the sac today made me feel a million times better.  But now I'm worried about getting to that next step next week of hearing the heartbeat.  I have a feeling this is going to be a SLOW week.

What I'm loving:  Seeing the little baby on the screen in the right place this time!  I can't tell you how much of a relief that was.

Symptoms:  Tired.  Minimal cramping and spotting now.  But it was definitely much worst a few weeks ago and last week. 

What I'm looking forward to:  Next weeks ultra sound where we should hear the heartbeat.  Baby steps right?

Best moment of the week:  Seeing the baby :)
