Yea! I'm 6 weeks pregnant today! Yesterday I noticed my pants are getting tighter, even though I haven't gained any weight yet. So maybe my guess of this baby being a boy is out the window. Who knows, I guess I'll have to wait for my ultrasound, which won't be for another 12 weeks or so.
I found a really neat picture of an embryo at 6 weeks. I love looking at things like that, so I thought I'd share it with everyone here too.
6 Weeks pregnant today!!!
Today is one of the best Mother's Days ever! (although I have only ever had 2 others!) I can't help feeling great being with my 2 wonderful kids and having another one in my tummy. It all feels so special to me.
All of a sudden my taste in food has changed again. For the past few days I've like everything. I even ate half a jar of dill pickles the other day (I know, gross). Today I don't seem to want anything. I'm still not feeling sick, just not hungry. I'm actually happy about this because I really don't want to gain too much weight in the beginning.
I created a webring for surrogacy sites. As of today we have 6 members. I wanted to be able to share our experiences with each other and make it easy to go from site to site. If you want to visit any other surrogacy sites, just go to my homepage and click on the Surrogates Homepages Webring.

Last night I had my first twinge of sickness. It wasn't really bad, I just didn't feel good eating supper and my tummy was feeling kind of "weak". I'm still feeling really lucky because it could have been a lot worse.

Boy am I tired! I don't remember being this tired with my last 2 pregnancies. Today my poor husband had to get up, take care of the kids while I had a nap, cook supper, wake me up, and then go to work (night shift). I feel really bad that he had to do all of that by himself, but at the same time I'm sure this exhaustion won't last more than a few more weeks and then I'll be back to "normal". Anyway I'll take fatigue over morning sickness anyday.

7 Weeks

The pregnancy seems to be going by pretty fast so far! Before I know it, I'll be as big as a house. According to my newsletter, the baby is now about the size of a BB pellet, but it will double it's size this week.
I have a plan now for how to deal with my fatigue. I tend to get tired around 3:00pm and stay that way until about 7:30pm. So what I do is make supper early in the afternoon and just heat it up again at supper time. This way Jason doesn't have to make supper as well as everything else. I have also been doing my housework in the morning/early afternoon so I can rest later on and not feel too bad about it.
My pants are really starting to get tight. It's terrible because I'm obviously too early to get maternity clothes, but my regular clothes (just my pants) aren't fitting well now either. I'm at the stage now where no one can tell you are pregnant, they just think you've gained weight.

I had a "yucky" day yesterday. I don't think it was pregnancy related---it felt like food poisoning to me. That is quite possible because we ate at McDonalds the night before. I slept most of the day, but when I was awake I had cramps high up in my tummy. Ugh. I feel a lot better today, just not 100%.
I think I'm going to go make supper now (10:30 am). I know in about 2 hours I'll be exhausted again so I better get some things done before that happens.

My fatigue is better today. It's nice because I haven't been able to do much around the house lately, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up a little.
