6 Weeks: Right on cue

I was feeling pretty good til I wasn’t. My only symptom the first few weeks was fatigue and middle of the night insomnia. Right on schedule at 6 week, the nausea kicked in. Afternoon/evening sickness more than morning sickness. And the insomnia is starting to get old, so I’m doing everything I can to lower my stress levels to prevent that 2am cortisol rush!

In the few weeks we’ve known you were there, my oldest brother and his wife AND my middle brother and his wife have announced pregnancies, so you’re going to have so many cousins to play with! I can’t wait to see you all lined up in a row. So far the oldest is a boy— so curious to see what’s to come! 

I’m getting anxious to see an ultrasound— I want to make sure you’re okay and that there’s only one of you! We will share the news of your existence with Noah and Rosie once we see that heartbeat and I can’t wait to hear their responses. 

In other news, I just got my maternity pants out yesterday. It’s safe to say my body remembers what to do. The mind game stage of the first few weeks is both thrilling and scary. Oh, and exhausting. All worth it.
