Like an everything bagel, my uterus...

So, at 5 weeks and 2 days, our little embryo is the size of a sesame seed. Which is a lot bigger than the 4 week old poppy seed.
Funny how something so small can make me feel so exhautsted and nauseous. Like I've run 5 marathons. On a ship at sea. In the middle of high winds.
Today I had my first appointment with the nurse. It was a rerun from almost 3 years ago. Except this time I had a (nearly) 2 year old rummaging around in my purse and putting gallons of hand lotion on herself. Willa tagged along for a booster shot, and did great.
She left with a sticker, and I left with 2 pounds of paperwork.

doesn't it put a whole new paint job on things when you also have a 2 year old to manage. it is so hard to be tired because then you can't give 100% to Willa. I hope things get better for you!!

Bagels are loaded with carbs. A nice broiled medium-rare Delmonico steak is the answer. ;)
