So, depending on who's counting, we're either in Week 6 or Week 7. I'm assuming based on my chart that I'm 5 weeks plus a little. This means that Baby is the size of an apple seed. That really blows my mind. There is a person inside me, and said person is somewhere between 2 and 4 mm long!
I am still a bit in shock, and still sometimes can't believe it. ("What if it was a false positive?") But DH and I are definitely both excited now. It helps to tell people. We haven't told everyone, mostly just people who knew we were trying and who were listening to us (well, me) whine about it all along, and people we're really close to. (We haven't told our families yet. I'm not sure when we will - probably after our first doctor's appointment). I keep thinking if other people know about it then it will seem more real. And it's been fun seeing people's reactions. Some people have squealed, some have yelled "Nu-Uh!", some have cried, some have just hugged us. It's been really great to have so many supportive people in our lives.
I haven't had any really bad symptoms yet - it's still been little stuff. I've been more tired, more thirsty, and more gassy, my eyes are pretty dry, and my chest is sometimes achy, but that's pretty much it. (My lower back is also pretty sore but I'm not sure if that's related...). I thought for sure I'd have morning sickness from Day 1, but I've been lucky so far. Hopefully that will stay away!!
A note about due date, though, since I haven't blogged it. According to all of the calendars I've now subscribed to online, the baby will be here in the beginning of June. Oddly enough, I will also graduate from law school in the beginning of June. What an adventure!! Studying for the bar with a newborn! Woo-hoo!!
It's so crazy that I'm writing this right now. I'm really pregnant, huh? Weird.
