6 weeks!

I'm six weeks today!

I have a few milestones that I am anxiously awaiting.

I have my first OB appointment scheduled for October 1st (one week from today). I had to reschedule my last appointment because of my trip back home for my grandma's funeral. I've been told that I will get an early ultrasound to make sure that everything is okay, but I don't know if that will be done at this appointment or if they will make me come in at another time.

In 3 weeks, I will be in uncharted territory. I will be past the time in my last pregnancy that I start spotting (6w5d) and eventually miscarrying (8w3d).

And of course, my ultimate milestone is when I hit 12 weeks! It will be such a relief to be out of the first trimester.

This pregnancy has been very different from my last. I have been very nauseous. I have to eat every 2 hours, but I can't eat too much at one time. I'm not very good at finding the balance between not enough and too much food in my stomach. Overall, I feel yucky! Between the nausea, my stuffy nose (this may be allergies), feeling so fat because I am always stuffing food down my throat, sore boobs and nipples, and being tired, I can tell I am pregnant. I am hoping that a different pregnancy will lead to a different outcome!
