Week 7: Sick and loving it!

I'm definitely experiencing the "joys of pregnancy" this week! Nauseous, dizzy, ridiculously tired and oddly sensitive to smells. i wont lie, it's awesome! Every time I experience a symptom, I'm reminded theres a Baby Merrell growing inside me, a baby that I get closer and closer to holding every day! Its so exciting.

Week:7 

Total Weight Gain: 0lbs, but seriously, is that even something to be proud of yet...I don't think so.

Stretch Marks: None of course but I pretend they're right around the corner and lather up my belly and breasts after every shower, with stretch mark prevention cream ( thats definitely not what its called but its what it does)

Best Moment This Week:  Telling a few friends the good news, it got me so excited to tell my family! I can hardly wait!!

Missing: Being able to eat  tuna, I just recently realized its an embarrassingly large part of my eating habits

Movement: nope, its the size of a blueberry so if I felt it, I'd be worried
Symptoms:Nausea nausea nausea! All day everyday. 

Food Cravings: Salad, all day long i want a salad with fresh anything on it! 

Causing Nausea:  Anything greasy....bleh and oddly enough, hairspray!

Labor Signs: Ha

Belly Button: ...

Wedding ring:  On and loose

Moods: Tired and in tears, not because I'm sad, but because I'm awake. ANYthing will make me cry, (see last post)

Next Doctor's Appointment: Tuesday at 8:30am, CANNOT WAIT

Looking Forward to: hearing the babys heart beat and telling my family about the little berry!

Baby Facts: By the end of this week, the embryo will more than double its length, growing from approximately 4 to 5 millimeters to 11 to 13 millimeters. It is now about the size of a blueberry. The head is disproportionately larger than the rest of the body, and dark spots mark where the eyes and nostrils will be. The forebrain has divided into the two parts that make up the cerebral hemispheres of the brain, where as many as 100 nerve cells are created each minute.
