Did you know....

At 6 weeks, a baby is the size of a lentil bean? You can see dark spots on it's huge head where eyes and a nose would be, and little indentations on the sides of the head where ears will form?

And that the heart is beating around 100-130 beats per minute? Did you know that limbs are forming, and even though they just look like stubs with paddles, they are starting to move around now, and fingers and toes will form soon?

Isn't that awesome?

Right now, the baby would be referred to as something generic--like "Babypants"--because we wouldn't know if it was a boy or girl, but it would definitely be a baby and after it's born it will definitely sometimes wear pants, whether it's a girl or a boy.


But either way, it's going to be so darn cute.

I have a joke for you:

me: knock-knock
you: who's there?
me: I'm pregnant!
you: What?
me: I'm pregnant!!
you: Yeah! That's wonderful! Congratulations!

I didn't plan to tell you yet. I planned to wait the 3 months they tell you that you are supposed to wait. And it's only 6 weeks. But come on, I've held out for 2 weeks! That's pretty good. Do you know how hard it was to wait? Super hard.

I'm not proving that I am very good at waiting, because I've told almost everyone....

So cross your fingers, say a prayer, whatever it is that you do--please do it, and hope that everything is all right.

I have my first prenatal appointment tomorrow and find out how far along I am. I am very nervous, and very excited.

I have been reading some awful books that have me pretty nervous, one is called my plus sized pregnancy, and one is called what to expect when you're expecting, and well, both of them have caused me to be afraid of things that I never thought to be afraid of before, and that's it.

Plus, I've been having nutso dreams. I dreamt the other night that the rabbits turned into other animals, and I couldn't tell, and then I dreamt that my mother in law sold me to human traffickers in Switzerland.

I think it's the hormones.

What do you think?

Either way, Babypants and I are doing fine so far. We've been a little nauseated, and a little tired, but mostly just ecstatic that I am pregnant. Kevin is ecstatic too. Although he's a little worried that he won't get to hold Babypants when it's born. Well, he will, but I get to hold Babypants more, because I threw up the other night a few times, and barely slept because I was so nauseated. I win.
