Being Pregnant - Week 6

So far being pregnant has been going rather smoothly. I thought that if I were pregnant that I would have morning sickness, but thankfully I have not. In the beginning before I knew that we were expecting my emotions were so strong and so low. I often felt moody and sometimes sad.

Now my emotions are becoming more stable, but in week 6 I have noticed two new symptoms - fatigue and sensitivity to taste. I feel so tired. When 3 in the afternoon rolls around I feel like its 10:30 and time for bed. As far as eating, everything tastes so rich and sweet. Fruit and sweet teas are too sweet, candies are not quite as tempting and even the sandwich meat at lunch is too rich. Even though I feel hungry water is the only thing I can't get enough of.

Being fatigued and realizing that I'm pregnant has left me so distracted. Sometimes I stop and think, "There is a baby growing inside of me! Oh thank you God!". I can't believe it! And I have a hard time bringing my attention back to the task at hand.
