Week 7

The baby is growing to the size of a blueberry, with the little jaw and cheekbones taking shape.

I've been pretty lucky symptom-wise. I haven't had any morning sickness (knock on wood!). I am tired and my mood changes quickly, and I can still smell everything. But nothing terribly uncomfortable. The book says most women see symptoms around week 6. For awhile I was eating whatever sounded good, just in case something would trigger the sickness. But, so far so good, so I'm going to start eating better. I even packed salad with grilled chicken and vegetables for lunch today.

Last night we made chicken alfredo (not from the jar) and it was delicious! I like cooking with my husband. I am so very lucky to have someone like him to share life with.

A few friends of ours are trying to plan a vacation in January. Ordinarily we might go, but at this rate there's too much I wouldn't be able to do: hang out on the beach (I shouldn't overheat), go swimming (me, 26 weeks and in a swimming suit? no sir), all inclusive (no alcohol for me), 7 days (I hope to save my PTO). So, bummer, but I think we're a no go.

I'm already looking forward to setting up the nursery and finding diapers on sale. :) I'm trying to wait at least until we find out the sex of the baby - that will help with the colors, haha.

Coming up: A free weekend!
