Week 6 (finally!)

It took a entire 10 days to get here, but today officially marks 6 weeks. I was 5 weeks, 6 days (and so excited to be so close to 6 weeks) when I had my OB appointment and ultrasound that pushed me back 3 days. Now, I've finally made it to 6 weeks!

As for my symptoms, I'm not sure can call them symptoms any more. I KNOW I am pregnant! I saw the baby and heartbeat on the ultrasound. But I still don't feel much different so I want to document what I am (not) feeling.

The update:
-Missed period- YES!
-Just "feeling" pregnant- NO
-Breast tenderness- YES! Still bothering me when I first take my bra off and when I wake up in the morning. Still doesn't last long before they are fine again.
-Fatigue- NO. I had a busy week and went to bed late several days last week but I wasn't any more tired than I would have been pre-pregnancy. Going to be later than usual was also the cure for my sleeplessness. I didn't wake up early on those days.
-Frequent urination- NO
-Nausea- NO
-Dizziness and/or Fainting- NO
-Food cravings, or aversions to foods- NO
-Sensitivity to aromas- NO
-Morning sickness- NO
-Heartburn and/or constipation- NO, but still pooping less frequently.
-Mood swings, irritability- NO.
-Higher body temperature- Still don't know. I never will know.
-Low back pain- NO
-Implantation bleeding- NO
-A positive pregnancy test- YES! On a HPT and two blood draws. (And on ultrasound!)
-Bloating and weight gain- I've maintained my same wait for the last 2 weeks so I guess this is a NO.

The constant hunger in the morning hasn't been bothering me as much. I am still very thirsty all day.

Still have the zits!

Your pregnancy: 6 weeks

How your baby's growing: This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.

How your life's changing: You may find yourself developing a bit of a split personality — feeling moody one day and joyful the next. Unsettling as this is (especially if you pride yourself on being in control), what you're going through is normal. Ricocheting emotions are caused partly by fluctuating hormones. But hormones aside, your life is about to change in a big way — and who wouldn't feel emotional about that?

Spotting (spots of blood on your underpants or toilet tissue after urinating) or bleeding is relatively common in early pregnancy, affecting up to a quarter of pregnant women. It may occur in a normal pregnancy, but sometimes it can be the first sign of miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. If you have any spotting or bleeding, call your provider.
