Weeks 6 & 7

I've been a little M.I.A. lately, but have finally uploaded some belly pics.  Here they are:

And here are some from this week:

Belly circumference: 32 1/2"
Bust circumference: 35 1/2"

I forgot to measure during week 6...oops!  I'll make a note of it each week from here on out so that I can chart my progress too!  I wasn't planning on doing the bare belly photo (except for my mom because she requested it), but it seems to show more at this point.  Maybe if my bump becomes more obvious in my shirt later, I'll revert to that.  Sorry if it is annoying to anyone!  At least I'm not posting my bare belly on Facebook!  Also, I happen to think that pregnant bellies are one of the most beautiful things in the world.  :) 

I suppose I should probably try taking pictures when I have make-up on too.  It's too early to look like the zombie mom!  On a side note, my sweet belly week by week stickers were designed by my co-worker, Dana.  She's really getting into using her Adobe software...bonus! 

We also got to hear the heartbeat last week.  It was a strong 143.  The ultrasound tech said anything over 80 is good so we were happy.  I'm looking forward to week 10 when I have an appointment here in Grand Rapids with my OB-Gyn.  It's been amazing so far to see the progress and we consider ourselves lucky that we've already had 2 ultrasound pictures and it's only week 7! 

Get out of the way!!!

Today I had my first, "drop everything and run to the bathroom because I'm going to puke" episode.  Luckily I didn't actually get sick, but it freaked me out how quickly it came on.  I've been feeling pretty good otherwise and have learned that small, frequent meals are the best way to keep me from feeling sick.  Although, when I do have my appetite and something is tasting good to me, I have been known to completely gorge myself on it! 

We had an ultrasound this week and found out just how many babies we have growing in me.  Then, next Friday I will have another one because they are keeping an eye on something.  Hopefully we'll be able to share that news soon!
