Weeks 6-14

I've decided to document as much of my pregnancy as I can.  Hopefully my son or daughter will enjoy reading it later in life.  I think it would be so amazing to know what was going through my mothers head when she was pregnant with me.  This is also a good way for my family and friends to see updates without me having to send them annoying emails.  I realize not everyone wants to see the size of my belly every single week!  For those of you that do, here ya go!
