6 Weeks Pregnant and Hard to Keep This HUGE Secret

This has definitely been the hardest thing to keep a secret (for now) from family and friends! We decided that we want to wait until we are 13 weeks to share the good news for obvious reasons. In fact, by the time you read this blog we will be that far along at least.

Between being ravenously hungry to extremely fatigued, this pregnancy thing is really everything everyone has ever told me. I definitely see changes in my body already. Although they aren't big changes (yet), it is hard to ignore the little pooch that is starting to develop... not sure if this is really the baby, the french fries or just bloating! Either way, my pants are not fitting the same!

My Cravings: ANY carbohydrates, especially those bad for me including french fries and pizza!
