6 Weeks, What??!!

Today, on the bay bridge, Gina called me. She told me she was 6 weeks pregnant! What??!! We had no idea. Her wonderful acupuncturist, Maureen, told her the pregnancy is calculated from a woman's last period...which puts us at 6 weeks!
Maureen also stated that we would be able to hear the little baby's heartbeat at our next Doctor's appointment.

We thought it was week 4. You know, when the *blastocyst implants into the uterine lining. I was prepared to write about it, but now...well, there's almost a heartbeat. Wow!

We have a little chalkboard in our kitchen. Over the past year, we used it as a means to check off each item in which we paid for our wedding: wedding dress...check, flowers...check, limo...check, tux...check. It now reads, "I'm 6 weeks!"

The best part about today was reading Gina's blog. She referred to herself as a new mother. Reading that was awesome.

*With the mouse I right clicked on to the word blastocyst (it was underlined with the red scribbly line), it came back with blastoff, blaster, Blackstone, and bloodstock. The only blastoff was when we conceived, I guess I was the blaster, I know of no Blackstone, and I'm no vampire...I'm pretty sure Gina's not, so neither of us are of bloodstock.
