On Thursday, I was 6 weeks along. I'd like to do a weekly update as I progress, and I've been using my What to Expect app to tell me what size the baby is. :)
Along: 6 weeks 3 days today
Size of baby: Bunny ("bun" in the oven=bunny at our house) is 0.25 cm, or the size of a blueberry!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: not sure. Don't think anything yet. I feel "fuller", but I don't think that translates to any poundage.
Maternity Clothes: Not yet. I do have several friends who've offered to share with me when summer comes along. Thanks!
Gender: Chance and I both think girl so far. Who knows though? When we hear the heartbeat at the doctor Friday, we'll know more, if you believe the wives' tales.
Movement: No movement yet. It's too early, but I'm excited for that to come!
Sleep: Sleep is good so far. We bought a fiberbed for the top of our mattress, so it's like sleeping on this fluffly, enveloping cloud. Better get our good rest now!
What I miss: I missed champagne at New Year's, but not that much. I DO miss my caffeinated hot tea each morning and all the Diet Cokes I can drink.
Cravings: chocolate milk. Driving home one night, I could almost FEEL the sweet taste in my throat. I couldn't get home fast enough.
Symptoms: No morning sickness, but I have been having pretty bad headaches most days this week. I think it's been a combo of my lingering head cold (since Christmas!), caffeine deprivation and hormonal fluctuations. I'm pretty sensitive to hormonal changes and they usually cause headaches. Hoping this is not a sign of things to come.
Best moment this week: Telling the good news to a few of my good friends at school. Starting to plan the 1st week of the next school year. Hopefully I'll teach 1 week and then have the baby. We'll see how that goes...
