6 weeks, and we have a little Sweet Pea growing! :) We have decided to stop calling it "it" or "baby" and have finally settled on kiwi. We went through several names before settling on that one, but found it to be most fitting because of our recent adventures in NZ.
It's been a rough week. I started out with the same symptoms as last week, but they peaked on Saturday morning and I was sick all day. I've had digestive issues, naseau and dry heaving, food and smell aversions, exhaustion, headaches, and soreness. I'm feeling better today and have even been able to get quite a bit of cleaning done, but it's been a much slower process.
I'm also feeling rather bloated these days, although I don't really look any different.
I've been reading "The Pregnancy Book" by the Sears, and it has been very helpful in encouraging me that my symptoms are normal, even good, you may venture. It means that kiwi is growing strong and my HCG levels are soaring to new heights (and giving my body a run for it's money).
I think the worst part for me is convincing myself that nothing is wrong - I don't need to fix something or eat better or work out more...I need to rest, eat whatever I can handle at the moment, and do my best to stay healthy for this little one. Now that's encouragement!
Our first baby purchase - a ducky tub organizer! Half price and too cute to pass up :)
We've now told our immediate families. They were both very excited, and it will be fun to tell some more of our family and friends in the coming weeks. Some people wait until the second trimester to tell anyone, but this news is just too good to completely keep quiet!
Love, the George family
