Time to Celebrate!
We are going to have a baby!
We are so excited!! The little one is expected in the end of March so we still have a while to go but we couldn't be happier with our little surprise :)
Our first doctor appointment is on the 10th so I will keep you updated on what she has to say. For the most part, I have been feeling fine and I have been staying very busy reading in books and online all of the wonders of our tiny baby. It is truly amazing!

Below is what the BabyCenter has to say about 6 weeks:


This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.
