Well, here we are at six weeks pregnant. According to Babycenter.com the baby is about the size of a lentil bean (4 to 5 millimeters across). The baby's heart is beating about 100 to 130 beats per minute, and blood is beginning to circulate through it's body. It is also starting to build muscle fibers and, halfway through this week, will likely start moving arms and legs. Although with so much room to swim around, I won't be feeling anything for another couple of months.
As for me...still no morning sickness, not even a hint of nausea. YAY!! I am, however, experiencing my usual first trimester fatigue, and have resorted to taking naps with the boys in the afternoons. I've also noticed the mood swings have started to creep in, but once my hormones level off, that should get better...at least I hope it does for Joe's sake!
We're started to try to night wean Dominic, so I can get more sleep during my first trimester, but since we just started I'm not really sure how that is going to pan out. I've got to talk to some ladies who have nursed while pregnant and tandem nursed to get some additional ideas on what we can try.
I guess that's it. Thanks for stopping by!
