6 weeks today!

..or so we think! Since we will not know for sure how far along I am until our first prenatal appointment, we'll stick with our counting based on my last period.

Weekly check-in:

How far along?: 6w
How big is baby: The size of a pea!
Weight gain/loss: My weight fluctuates everyday. My guess is it's because of pregnancy bloat. I am (+/-) 1 lb everyday so I really do not know what my real weight is.
Pregnancy symptoms: Bloat, breast tenderness, fatigue
Maternity clothes: Nah. I can still fit fine in my regular clothes although my pants are starting to get a little snug because of bloat!
Stretch Marks: None and hopefully won't have any!
Sleep: I start to feel sleepy around 9:30 pm. I normally pass out on the couch while watching tv and move to the bedroom around 12 mn or until Daddy Jarbs is ready to go to bed.
Best moment this week: Calling Daddy Jarbs and telling him about the blood test results - that we may be a little bit further along or that we may have twins. I swear I heard some sniffles over the phone when I told him that :-).
Movement: None
Food cravings: All salty and sour food. I have a bag of salt and vinegar chips and sour candies in my lunch bag :-).
Food aversions: I do not like sweets. I came to hate frozen yogurt which I previously LOVE. Now, the thought of it makes me sick :-(.
Labor signs: None. Still waay too early
Belly button in or out: In!
What I miss: My energy! I am pretty much useless when I get home from work. I do not have energy to do anything. I just want to lay down.
What I am looking forward to: Telling my family this weekend that we are expecting :-)
Milestones: The nose, mouth, and ears are beginning to take shape. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long.
