Our Little Blessing at 6 weeks!

How far along? 6 Weeks

Baby's size? Our Blessing will have a growth spurt this week. It could go from the size of a lentil all the way to the size of a chickpea!!!!

Weight Gain? I gained 3 pounds already...I have not been watching what I eat. I need to start!!

Maternity clothes? My new sister in law took me to a garage sale that had lots of maternity clothes. I was able to find a lot of cute shirts, and a winter coat from Gap!! I was so excited!

Stretch marks? None

Sleep? I sleep great! I could sleep all the time. I am exhausted.

Foods I am loving? Basically all foods! :) I have been really hungry. I have not been craving anything in particular.

Foods I am hating? Fried foods have kind of made me feel nauseated. But other than that nothing has bothered me so far.

Best moment this week? Finding out we were pregnant!!!!!!

Movement? No movement yet. I cannot wait for the movement to start!

Symptoms? I have had an empty stomach/nausea feeling for over a week now. I also have been exhausted! Like so tired, I cannot function. I have never felt so tired before in my life. I have taken a nap the last two days, and I never do that. I had a very busy week so I think that contributed to the exhaustion!

Gender? I have no idea as of right now! We will be finding out though!

What I miss? NOTHING!!!

What I'm looking forward to? Our first ultrasound in about a week, and then we will be able to see how many heartbeats there are!!!

Weekly Wisdom: Keep something close to snack on, once that feeling comes that you need to fill your stomach there is no waiting!!

Milestones: We are 6 weeks pregnant!

Emotions: I have been so overjoyed, thankful and totally in awe of our answered prayer.

Here is our first belly picture!! I know it is early, but I want to see the progression from the beginning!! I will probably try to wear the same outfit for as long as I can. I like the way you can really see my belly in this outfit.

I know I already look like I am showing, but nothing has really changed. I have always had a little bit of a lower belly pooch. I had just eaten before hubby took this picture, so I was really full!! I have noticed that I cannot really suck in my tummy like I used to. My belly has been having cramping when I stretch, I read that my ligaments will be stretching to prepare for the growing baby. I have been having slight cramping every once in a while, and I pee a lot! I had even noticed some of these symptoms before I got a positive pregnancy test, I should have caught on.

I got the layout for my weekly posts at Ashley's blog. I hope she doesn't mind that I followed her layout!! I might add or take away a few things as the pregnancy progresses.

Today I feel so blessed that I have not been having horrible morning sickness, and that we are 6 weeks pregnant!!1
