6 weeks

On a Wednesday at the end of August, I decided to made taco cupcakes for dinner.  I was so excited and felt very wife-ish trying new recipes (that Dan actually liked) and making dinner every night.  We had been married for 2 1/2 months.  We sat down to dinner, looked at my plate, and I thought I might die.  I was getting sick, maybe the flu...  I didn't know, but I did not feel good.  I didn't eat anything more than toast for the next 3 days.  On Sunday, we found out we were expecting.  I guess it wasn't the flu :)   

At 6 weeks I was not feeling so great... but I was determined to keep track of every moment.  I might have been miserable, but I know it won't last forever and I will miss being pregnant (it may be a few years, but I will miss it).
