6 weeks along!

So I am now officially 6 weeks and feel rather rotten to be honest! The nausea has hit and had to take a sick day off work today because as well as pregnancy symptoms I have this horrible trapped nerve which is causing me a lot of pain. I find it hard to muster up any enthusiasm for food unless it's greasy and bad. Michael wants me to start eating a little healthier so I am going to try and make a concious effort. It's hard when all you are craving is bad stuff! I don't fancy things like puddings anymore although I still sneak the odd cake in (I'm pregnant after all, not crazy! :p). My main symptom and the one which is causing me the most hassle is my extreme tiredness. I find I am having to have naps all the time and I am just slugging about from place to place. 

Michael and my mum are doing a great job of looking after me but all I seem to want to do is sleep. Me and Michael get excited talking about all the wonderful things we can do when the baby is here and planning the new layout of our bedroom. We have already decided on our names for a boy or a girl but we don't really want to share them with anyone.

So now I am 6 weeks pregnant, the baby is looking even more...well baby like and looks a little like this. Apparently they are now the size of a pea with the heart being the size of a poppy seed. It is crazy when you think how small it is.

Most websites say at this stage, "Your baby is also developing tiny buds that will become arms and legs further along the line. Its heart is rapidly developing from a simple tube to the complex four chambers which pump blood around its body."

How exciting :) I am hoping this horrible sick/tired phase passes and it's so hard not being able to tell anyone and with work not knowing yet. I just hope time passes quickly xoxo
