6 Weeks

So I've been blogging about the pregnancy since week 6! Here is the back log of of all my crazy thoughts.

Well here we go. I've decided to do a week by week update about my pregnancy. This is week 6!

First of all I still can't believe that I'm pregnant. It just doesn't seem real quite yet. I think a large part of that is because I still haven't gone to the doctor. My OB doesn't see patients until they are at least 6-8 weeks pregnant. I have my first appointment on the 3rd of June.

In terms of symptoms mine have been pretty mild so far (another reason why this doesn't seem real yet). I haven't had any morning sickness which is nice. I do get a little queazy if I don't eat on a regular basis, but that has been pretty much it. My appetite has definitely increased. I think the biggest change I've noticed so far is my skin. I've been breaking out like a high school

teenager, it's so gross! The worst part is I'm not allowed to use any acne scrubs or medications because the chemicals in them are "questionable" for the baby.

My energy levels have really dropped. With the weather getting nicer each week, plus my need to exercise to tame my stress/anxiety levels. . . it's been hard to watch myself so I don't over do it.

I think one of the things I'm most excited about being pregnant is when I'll start to show. I know with this being our first child it will probably be several months in, but I can't help but look at my stomach every day in the mirror searching for that baby bump.

Bye bye flat tummy!
