Week 6!

Baby is now the size of a sweet pea! 

While baby is growing away in there my hormones are starting to catch up with me. Let me just tell you that morning sickness is no joke. At first it was just this kinda gross feeling that made me extremely tired and not very hungry. Now I can't keep anything down beyond saltines and small sips of ginger ale. I did have thanksgiving dinner with my family but it was followed directly by feeling absolutely disgusting and having to lay down for an hour. Not fun. We traveled home last night and I had saltines for dinner. I woke up this morning and had saltines for breakfast. It's 2:00pm, I'm at work, and I cant even fathom eating anything besides saltines for lunch.This is miserable.

I know that once the baby is born I'll barely remember all of this but right now I can't seem to focus on anything besides my churning tummy. In addition to feeling gross I've begun having these crazy mood swings where I just feel like crying at the craziest stuff! Really the only kind of mood swing I've had has been in the direction of crying so I guess it could be worse (like getting stressed or angry) but is it too much to ask to get a deliriously happy swing?

We told pretty much all of our family this week. The reactions were all very good but no one was as excited as we expected them to be. Luke thinks it's because everyone has been expecting this for awhile (I think he's just trying to make me feel better). I'm also (big surprise) a little moody so maybe it's just all in my head. My parents already bought themselves "World's best grandparents" shirts, ha ha, at least their excited! 

Monday is our first doctor's appointment so that's exciting (and scary). I definitely plan on asking about remedies and/or medicine for this nausea so maybe I can feel a little more normal. At this moment I would love to go home, take a nap, and maybe have a baked potato. I could handle that, I think.

I hope you all had a fabulous thanksgiving and I'll be back soon with reports on the doctor's visit!
