7 weeks 4 days

I've never been very good at keeping secrets - A month ago when I sat on the bathroom floor staring at a positive pregnancy test I was convinced that I could go the full first trimester without telling anyone. A week later, 10 people knew. Today, 30 people know. I have a big mouth.

I am 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant today. Our babies mouth, nose, and eyes are all forming this week, and the tiny tadpole is starting to sprout some arms and legs. He or she is the size of a blueberry, the length of a tic tac, and weights less than a gram.

What I want to know is, how can something that tiny make a grown woman feel so sick? I'm queasy all day and count it a success if I can keep down all three meals. My favorite hobby these days is napping, and I haven't been to the gym or put on an acceptable amount of makeup in weeks. This baby has removed my will to clean my house or put on clothes that match. All I can say is this: Praise God for an amazing husband and good pair of sweat pants!

Just be happy you're not Cam.

It's 7:34 pm. Time for bed.
