I can't believe how "big" I am already. I mean, I'm small enough that any growth is noticeable but it still seems a little early. Oh well, I feel great and the baby is growing and that's all I care about.
6 weeks |
How far along - 6 weeks
Weight gain - 0 lbs
Morning sickness/nausea - none! Thank the lord!
Pain - Every morning I wake up with a sore back and shoulder pain. I need to figure out a better way to sleep. I already sleep with a pillow between my legs. Also have sore boobs.
Stretchmarks - none! I'm slathering on body butter to make sure it stays that way.
Maternity clothes - I've gotten them out but I shouldn't need them for a few more weeks. Some of my pants and shorts are tight and I have to unbutton them when I sit down.
Food cravings/aversions - No aversions, I just couldn't cut raw chicken this week because I started gagging. I've been craving Asian food! Each pregnancy, I've craved something different. With Alena, I always craved Taco Bell. With Christian, it was Big Macs.
Boy or Girl - We're not finding out this time! But secretly I think it's a girl.
Lowlights of the week - My allergies! They are HORRIBLE!
Highlights of the week - The kids are loving on this baby so much! Also, I got to see the heartbeat yesterday!
Then we have the six week ultrasound. Bigger sac and a teeny tiny little baby. So far, just one heartbeat. Gabe was upset it wasn't twins, and I was a little (just a little) upset too. But at least there's one in there!
Have you tried Bio Oil? I used it and it saved my tummy, although it doesn't smell the best :)
ReplyDeleteTo have twins would be fun! Stopping by from Mom's Monday Mingle.
ReplyDeleteTaco Bell was a big craving for me. My little one is almost 9 now(not so little anymore.) Excited for you!

Found you on Moms Monday Mingle! CONGRATULATIONS :) How exciting! Maybe it's twins!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Is it true that you show sooner and sooner with each child after your first??
ReplyDeleteMommyintheMaking - I have not tried Bio Oil. The body butter I found at Motherhood Maternity and was told it was their best seller and had great reviews. We shall see...
ReplyDeleteKimberly, stavonlady, and Cassie - Welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by!
The Michelle Show - It is true! I didn't show until 18 weeks with my first, then around 12ish weeks with my second, and now you can see it a six weeks with our third!
aw congratulations girl!
