Tuesday

Today is a great day!  Not only is Lady L exactly 6 weeks pregnant, but her daughter turns 2!  I know they will have a super fun family celebration today. 
6 weeks is just an amazing time for the baby.  I am going to paste some info that a website for pregos called Babycenter.com.  They have the best pictures and info, I am so glad I bumped into this place!

"
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."

It's just amazing how fast they grow, and how early everything develops. 
10 days until the big ultrasound.  We couldn't be more thrilled! 
I have been keeping busy by making crafts and trying to get things ready for the garage sale in June.  It's nice to have something to focus on and keep my mind occupied.
Lady L continues to inspire us with her strength.  She is still feeling well, although she's exhausted.
Thanks for keeping all of us in your hearts, thoughts, and prayers.  We all appreciate the words of encouragement you give us!
