I will be 6 weeks along tomorrow. Still at the very beginning stages.... which is hard because I worry a lot about something being wrong and not knowing about it. When I was about 6 1/2 weeks along with Lila I got an ultrasound because I was spotting a lot and we got to see her heartbeat. I kind of doubt that I will get to have an ultrasound until 19 weeks along. I called and made my first appointment yesterday. Two weeks from yesterday... May 17th at 12:15! And then the second one is June 16th. I'm always pretty scared of having a miscarriage. I don't think about it or dwell on it a lot, but it's something in the back of my mind. It makes me realize how much I want this pregnancy and want this baby. We could have a Christmas baby! Or a New Year's baby! How fun!
How I'm feeling... pretty good. I need to eat and drink a little more than normal, and at night I get a teeny bit queasy and pretty bloated. My tummy sticks out pretty far.
Other thoughts I'm having... I really hope I don't get as big as I did with Lila. I'm wondering if I just ate too much. I don't really think so... I was really swollen and had a lot of water-weight. But I'm going to try to exercise more and eat healthier. I think exercising more will be a lot easier, with a little one to take care of, a new neighborhood to walk in, and the whole summer and fall to enjoy.
I checked out the baby board I used to read when I was pregnant with Lila, and went to the December 2011 boards. That helped me be a little more excited.
