"Week 6" I Think might be 5 we'll find out on the 23rd

This has been a really good week. I've started telling all my close friends and my mom and dad. I'm not sure yet when we're telling Paul's Parents but I'm sure it will be soon. We're really excited about the months to come.

Let us make pregnancy an occasion when we appreciate our female bodies.

~Merete Leonhardt-Lupa

Waist Measurements: 33 inches at belly button

Weigh-in: 126lbs

Pregnancy Symptoms this week:

• Bathroom often (especially at night)
  
• Crampy
  
• Really tired
  
• Moody as hell

What I learned: I can still work out just not as aggressively and have to keep my HR below 140bpm, which I found interesting

Pregnancy "first" this week: Called my Dr. to schedule our first appointment, and told my parents about the pregnancy :) they were very excited

My Pregnancy Brain: I'm a little freaked out that 9 months from now I'm going to be responsible to a life.

Pregnancy Preparation: None yet! Just excited to be pregnant! Although if it was up to me I would have the whole nursery set up!

Dr. Visits: Not yet! I don't understand why they make you wait so long! Don't they understand I'm pregnant???

Belly Shot:

What the baby looks like: Our baby is about the size of a lentil bean. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as ours — and blood is beginning to course through its body
