I returned for a 3rd beta this week and my numbers continue to rise nicely. Next week we have our first ultrasound at what will be almost 7 weeks. By that point we should be able to see the flicker of a beating heart.
So far I've been feeling really good. Still taking it extremely easy and avoiding heavy lifting, straining, twisting, etc. I'm starting to feel more hungry throughout the day and always wake up really hungry in the morning. Most days I end up taking a short afternoon nap while watching some show on HGTV or TLC. By bedtime I'm definitely sporting the bloated belly look.
I'll try to be better about posting updates. It just doesn't "feel" like anything is happening right now.
Here's what's happening inside the belly: Week 6: Sweet Pea
Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks and chin. Those little hands and feet- still webbed like paddles- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate.

Keep up with the naps. I needed mine so much during the first 10-12 weeks.
Glad you are doing so well!
yay over 6 weeks already!!!
Can't wait to hear about the u/s!!!
YAY...this is really happening Melissa!!! I'm so glad your beta continues to go up and up! I can't wait to see those first ultrasound photos of your little bean! I had an u/s at 7w3d and they look like cute little gummi bears :)
What a great update!!
Oh thank goodness. I've been thinking about you since you posted you were PG.
