6 Weeks

How far along? 

6 weeks. The bloat continues.

How big is baby? 

The size of a pea. I don't know why but that seems huge to me!

Total weight gain?

 Nothing yet

Maternity clothes?

 Well. I can definitely say that by the end of the day my work pants and jeans are uncomfortable. I have already used the hair band trick to give me a bit of room and tomorrow, I am breaking out the belly band. 

Sleep?

 Better this week. I don't know what was up with last week, but it seems to have resolved itself for now.

Best moment of the week? 

Telling Mom and Dad G and my bro and sis-in-law over Mother's Day weekend!

Food cravings?

 Pickles (I know, so trite), hearty, filling foods like burgers. Bacon, definitely bacon.

Food aversions?

 Still lunch meat, and I also find that many things are not appealing to me at the moment that I attempt to eat them. I'll eat a bite of something, and then I'm done because it's just not what I want.

Symptoms?

 Very tired. I could nap every day if I had the opportunity. A few fleeting moments of queasiness that pass quickly. Bloated and gassy (sorry, it's the rather unpleasant truth).

Movement?

 Just gas bubbles ;)

Gender?

 Pink polos and pearls? More snakes and snails and puppy dog tails?

What I’m looking forward to?

 Having an actual baby bump as opposed to baby bloat

What I miss?

 Ok, ok, I admit it. I am missing wine this week. My parents made a delicious salmon dinner on Sunday and I was jonesing for a glass of white.

Weekly Wisdom?

 OMG. Only 6 weeks?

Milestones?

It's always neat to celebrate Mother's Day with a baby in your belly
