6 weeks

Nugget, 
As far as I know, you're in there growing according to plan!  You're about the size of a pea and your brain has developed and even though your heart is just the size of a poppy seed, it's pumping blood to your body!  It's so amazing to think that someone so small could have such incredible things going on!  You've been so busy growing & I cannot wait (am.freaking.out) to see you on Friday.  I feel like I've been holding my breath, just waiting to see a glimpse of you and our future and your daddy does a pretty good job of keeping me calm (as much as he can).  Once I see you and can hear that wonderful heart of yours, I will feel more confident and suspect I'll feel more excited and giddy.  I wonder about you and how you will change our lives and I giggle when I picture your daddy encountering the wild and crazy things you'll do... :)  Keep growing, little nugget, we can't wait to see all of the hard work you've been doing in there!
xoxo
Momma


How far along? 6 weeks
Total weight gain: I'm at about 1 pound gained so far...
Maternity clothes?  Not yet, but I'm getting ready to dive into some preggo lady leggings!  Some of my pants are getting awfully snug -- emphasis on awfully.
Stretch marks?  None 
Sleep: Up most nights around 2:30 to pee but have been pretty good at falling back asleep.
Best moment this week: Telling Grandma Judi that baby is in there!  She was pretty excited!
Miss anything?  This past week, I really missed my Diet Coke!!
Food cravings: Nothing really
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing really... yet.
Gender: Too soon to tell, not sure when we'll find out!
Labor signs: Hahaha, so n/a
Symptoms: minimal cramping, constantly peeing, occasional nausea, CRAZY bloating
Belly button in or out?  In (and the idea of it popping scares the shit out of me -- I also fear my scar will burst open and my guts will fall out... rational, I know)
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy, admittedly freaking out about Friday's ultrasound and making sure that everything is going according to plan in there.
Looking forward to: Our ultrasound on Friday and sharing the exciting news with my parents & brother and sister-in-law!!!!!!  SO EXCITED (and so nervous).
Baby is the size of:  pea
