6 Weeks
How far along? 6 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 128.2 (-2.0)
Maternity clothes? Work pants and sweats, the rest no.
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep: Had a horrible night due to nausea and napping too much the day before. But as long as I’m tired I’m still sleeping really well.
Best moment this week: Confirming that there’s something in my uterus at the ultrasound!
Movement: nope
Food cravings/aversions: I find myself craving sweets a little bit – not chocolate, but like pastries and candies. Craving tuna, which of course I can only have once a week. Arg.
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Being able to eat without puking.
What I am looking forward to: The nausea stopping!
Weekly Wisdom: It doesn’t make you a bad person to ask for what you need. Sometimes we just need some reassurance that everything is okay.
Milestones: Morning sickness kicking in for real.
Symptoms: Full, tingly breasts; throwing up, especially when I have an empty stomach; very sore legs; gas; bloating; tired.


You look so happy – it makes me smile. x
by your cravings i’m guessing a girl ;)
Congratulations, I am so pleased for you. Looking forward to seeing your bump grow!!
Just beautiful :)
What a neat idea on taking down notes week by week. I wish I had thought of that too. It will be nice to look back on these notes.
Natalie, I am SO SO SO thrilled! You look blissful!
Grow belly grow!!!! You look glowing!
You look great!!! I love reading you posts. sincerly your #1 silent (normally)blackberry stalker.
You look great! Happy 6 weeks to you ;-)
I craved tuna especially and fish in general the whole first tri too!!
I’ve been craving seafood since…. since I started this cycle. Which is why I LOVED being on the north shore…. ate nothing but seafood every day. It was glorious. But I’m still craving it! Tuna, lobster, shrimp, chowder… mmmm….
I LOVE this new weekly format you’re doing. So fun to read!
But I do have a question – would you mind posting your weight change from the previous week AND a total change from week 4? If you don’t mind? I’d kinda like to see your changes as they happen and overall, if that doesn’t make me an obnoxious stalker. :)
Erica – Sure. LOL I have all the info saved in my spreadsheet, it’s no extra work to post it here!
