Pregnancy Update

I am now six weeks pregnant! This week brings our baby to a full 1/4 inch long, with developments happening in its face in the form of eye dots, a nose bump, ear indentations, and little jaws, cheeks, and a chin. Other places in its body are forming too, including the kidneys, liver, and lungs. Plus, its little heart is still pumping strong! We love reading along in our "What to Expect" book as the pregnancy goes on, and realizing that this amazing little being inside of me is continuing to grow and develop into a little person. =)
We still won't be going to the doctor for another two weeks or so, but so far, our baby seems to be doing good! This we can kind of derive from the fact that I am feeling very pregnant! I'm exhausted and ready for bed between 6 and 8pm every night, nauseus in the morning and throughout the day (I threw up this morning for the first time...not something I hope to repeat), am constantly hungry, and have an elevated body temperature. Although I really do want to savor every moment of this pregnancy, I also kind of can't wait until the first trimester is over and my body is feeling a little more back to normal! Still, I am so grateful that my symptoms aren't worse, and that I can pretty much get along as usual (blessings, blessings, blessings!). Well, this completes our baby update for this week. Tune in later for more!
