7 Weeks

Last Thursday was officially 7 weeks, but it will just be easier to take the photos on Sunday, so I'm going to continue to take the photos on Wednesday. I've been feeling a little tired this past week, but other than that, I'm feeling good. We've been slowly telling people about the baby since I saw the heartbeat via ultrasound. It's hard not to just tell everyone, we're so thrilled. We're throwing around some names, but nothing seriously until we know the sex of the baby.

Lookin' Good

The weather was beautiful today. Sunny, but still a little chilly. Claire and I took her car out for a spin.

First Ultrasound and Baby's Heartbeat

Today I had my first prenatal appointment for Baby Garrett. I got to see his/her heartbeat which makes me feel like this one will stick. The due date is officially October 13th, but I'm thinking it is a little later, like the 16th. Either way, I'm between 6 and 7 weeks. We're so excited!

6 Weeks

This past week was rough in terms of energy. I had a bad cold, so was unable to sleep well at night. I started my nasal spray routine that helped me cope when I was pregnant with Claire and that helped a little, but I was still exhausted most of the week. I'm feeling much better today with two full night's rest behind me. Very little nausea, a little bloated, but feeling pretty normal.

5 Weeks

I took a home pregnancy test yesterday and it was positive! We're estimating that I'm about 5 weeks along. A few hours later a friend came over to watch Claire while Andrew and I enjoyed a pre-Valentine's Day dinner just the two of us. We went to Masala's in Richmond and ordered the "Dinner for Two" and came home with three boxes of leftovers. It was delicious, but there was so much food! We are very excited to expand our family and for Claire to become a big sister. I've been feeling very exhausted this past week (but some of that might have to do with the battle every night for the last week of, "Should I take a home pregnancy test, or should I wait?") I've also been feeling nausea off and on. I don't care though. I'm thrilled!

Total weight change = +0.5 lbs.

Happy Valentine's Day!
