6 weeks pregnant

At 6 weeks, we had our first ultrasound to make sure our bundle of joy was happy and safe in my belly. He or she was doing just fine in there, and we heard the heartbeat for the first time. The nurse told us that if we had been there 12 hours earlier, we would not have been able to hear the heartbeat. Isn't that amazing? We went into that appointment thinking I was 8 weeks, but left being told I was only 6 weeks...It felt like I was going backwards:) Also, we were able to take our baby's picture for the first time today. It is barely a speck in the picture but I have been told "she" is beautiful none the less:)
The baby- At 6 weeks is the size of a piece of rice. Can you imagine something that size having a heartbeat? It is a miracle and I am amazed every day by the changes.
About me- I had experienced extreme fatigue, some days sleeping 13 hours throughout the night. I had not had much sickness at this point and was keeping my fingers crossed that things would continue that way!
