May 22nd
Today I am 6 weeks pregnant and weighed 155.5lbs this morning. I feel good today, very tired but I had some insomnia this morning. I woke at 4am and couldn’t get back to sleep. I laid in bed for a long while trying to convince myself to go back to sleep. I finally gave up and decided to work on a post for one of my blogs. I didn’t get very far. My mind was elsewhere and going a thousand miles a minute. Around 6am my oldest son woke up and that’s when I started getting tired again. I made breakfast and afterwards I let my son watch TV and I grabbed a blanket and crashed on the sofa for about an hour. I woke up at the credits of each of his cartoons, that’s a handy little mom trick I somehow picked up along the way. I finished getting him ready for school and the baby woke up shortly before we had to leave at 8:30. I’m still a bit tired, even after my ‘naps’ this morning. I’m a bit more excited about this pregnancy and the impending birth now that I have a midwife. I was not looking forward to even stepping foot in an OBGYN office. I was slightly dizzy this morning but that has really eased off. My little gummy bear is about 5mm long now and his or her heart is beating away, his or her limbs have started forming, right now they look a little like a gummy bear. The baby’s placenta is busy forming but wont take over hormone production until about the 12th week. I’m getting a cold, my sinuses are all stuffed up and my throat is very sore. Ive done nothing but eat all day too- arg! I’m not even hungry. I just feel crummy and cant sleep. I’m hoping I can sleep tonight or Ill be miserable tomorrow.
