Sweet Pea...

Sunday's have always been special to me but they hold an even more special meaning now...they mark a new week in my pregnancy journey. And this week marks week #6!!!
Baby's the size of a sweet pea.
 I'm feeling great, other then feeling like I could eat a house at all times of the day. I haven't gained any weight but I have literally added another meal about 4 hours after dinner. I'm exhausted by mid day but thankfully Ethan is on a roll with taking good naps (2-3 hours) so that means this momma gets a good nap too. :)

The gas pains are better. I didn't try the lemon water but the Mylicon has been a life saver. I usually only have issues at night, for what ever reason. BM's are still awful. Thankfully I'm not constipated but the movement of the air in my intestines is ridiculous. I tell my body...bring it on, I'm up for the challenge! It's worth it...and I would take this over morning sickness any day. On a positive note, I have had to up my bra size. ( . Y . ) lol.

We've been talking more and more to Ethan about him being a big brother. Of course he is very excited...now. He calls the baby, "baby boo" and nothing is sweeter then him saying, "Thank you Jesus for baby boo, Amen". I think I've found what I want for his new bedding...aka big boy bedding. Glad I found it early because I'm going to have to save to buy it. lol. The plan is to get him his when we get the baby's. Trying to incorporate him as much as possible. I'm on the hunt for my old cabbage patch dolls, one of which is a boy, so he can practice being a big brother. I asked him how he was going to help me with the baby and he said, "fold clothes" and "rub lotion"...as in rub the lotion on the baby. I can't wait for all his help.

Right now I have one baby growing inside me that is the size of sweet pea and I have toddler who is being a sweet pea. I love my life!!
