6 weeks

I am 6 weeks pregnant today. Whee! I put together a little side by side comparison of today's photo (R) with last Saturday's photo (L). It's not a huge difference but I think you can tell that I'm filling out my shirt a little more overall, in the boobs and in a little bit of baby bloaty belly.

Last night I went to prepare our usual Friday night Amy's organic chili and when I opened the cans the smell of it - the chili we eat every week - turned my stomach. Hm. I added a little cheddar cheese to our bowls and heated them up, and when then when I sat down to eat it, it made me feel a little sick. I was so hungry that I ate it all anyway, but toward the end I was definitely feeling like I might possibly not be able to keep it down. All I could think was YAY! I know I am a maniac to wish for morning sickness but I can't help it.

We went to see Terminator Salvation last night and it was better than I expected. It kept me entertained and the eye candy was extremely droolworthy, especially the Australian actor playing Marcus. The only downside was that I hadn't thought to bring anything to drink with me and I spent most of the movie feeling parched and slightly headachey and sick... much like a mild hangover.

This morning I had my usual breakfast of oatmeal and coffee (which I am slowly paring down to smaller and smaller portions) and it made me feel ill once again. Eating made me feel a little sick, then after eating I still felt a little sick, and now that I'm hungry again I still feel a little sick. Right now it is very much like a hangover that isn't bad enough to make you barf, but just kind of hangs around making you feel like you want a giant Gatorade and some ibuprofen (neither of which I've had... though a fruit juice may be in my future today). And I love it.

Oh, and BY THE WAY. I just want to state for the record that the mess in these photos is in fact my dear husband's mess. His dresser/clothes pile is behind me in these photos. I take no responsibility for this, ha.
