Today I am 6 weeks pregnant, I think I will start taking pictures when I'm about 12 weeks, I don't think if I started now you would be able to see anything but fat, so I'm waiting!
My baby is making major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that I will be spending much time kissing in about 8 months are beginning to take shape. My baby has an oversized head and dark spots where the baby's eyes are marked my small depressions on the sides of the head, and the arms and legs are beginning to protrude. Also the heartbeat should be beating now, almost twice as fast as mine. Right now he/she is the size of a lentil, not quite sure what that is but it's about half the size of a quarter when I looked at one.
I have been feeling pretty good, no nausea or anything, but I have been constipated, I know TMI right? Well, the last week or so I've been having a hard time going to the bathroom and my bowels are just going stir crazy. Today is actually the first day in about 2 weeks that I feel good! I was told to drink grapefruit juice or of course prune juice, but I refuse to drink that because my Grandma used to make us drink it. So I bought some pink grapefruit juice last night and had a glass last night and this morning and so far so good. I have to start watching what I eat because I think everything I put in my body affects me and my baby.
I have also been really tired lately, last night I was in bed at 8:00 but fell asleep on the chair at 7:00. I just couldn't keep my eyes open so I laid down and went to sleep. I felt great this morning!
I can't wait for my ultrasound on the 24th, two more weeks!
The weather has been perfect this week, highs in the upper 70's, lower 80's, we finally got to turn our air off after having it on for over a month. I love the fresh air and getting out for walks. I've been walking at lunch time but trying to get out more after work, I've just been so tired but I know it will get better, right?
