Seven Full Weeks, Start of Week Eight!

Peanut, you are growing fast!  You are about half an inch long, the size of a raspberry.  Your legs, back, eyelids, nose and lips are taking shape.  Your heart is beating around 150 times a minute, and you will start making little movements this week--twitching your legs and arms!  We love you very much.

The biggest symptom I notice is the exhaustion.  I never seem to get enough sleep, and I am tired all day.  I am grumpy at work and cranky at home.  And I don't want to be that way, so that makes me all the more irritable!  My breasts are sore, I visit the bathroom a lot, and I do have nausea, although it's manageable so far.

We have shared our news with coworkers, our small group, our church and our neighbors...and in three days (Sunday) our families will know, too!  Last time we told them first--but we don't feel it's a necessity.  We'll share with everyone else on Monday, and then it'll be a waiting time until my first real appointment in three weeks, when I'll be ten weeks along.  It seems the last week or two have gone by incredibly slowly!
