6 Weeks

Dearest Munchkin,
Today you are six weeks old. We have made it half-way through the 1st trimester. So far, so good and all seems to be going smoothly. I am still having some rumblings in my tummy most days and my feet have turned into ballons, but all in all, I can't complain too much. Your Daddy seems to think I am sleepy a lot lately, but I really (I mean really really) liked to sleep before you came along, so it doesn't feel too different to me. Although I do think my energy level has dipped some in the past few weeks. I hope that you get that good sleeping gene from me.
I am so excited about our ultrasound appointment on Monday morning. We can't wait to have a sneak peek at you so we can be reassured that you are healthy and growing. It is still up in the air whether or not we will hear your heartbeat, since it is pretty early on in the pregnancy. It would be such a wonderful treat!
Your Dad and I have already been discussing some plans for your future. We have a lot to think about in the upcoming months and we want to make sure that we take the best possible care of you. But I think all my planning is driving your Daddy a little crazy. I did slipped up last week and told your Aunt Lori about your upcoming arrival. I know I was supposed to keep this quiet, but it is such a relief to have my best friend know all about you! I have so many questions and she is just the person I need advice from. Needless to say, she is quite thrilled about our news! Now, maybe I can drive her crazy instead of your Dad.
I will write again on Monday after the ultrasound to let you know how things turn out. Hopefully I will even have some pictures of you to post. Until then sweet pea....
All my love,
Mom
