7 weeks!

Yesterday I went for an internal ultrasound, and the technician confirmed that I was 6 weeks, 6 days pregnant.
While she was a little short with me, and didn't tell me a due date, I've calculated that I should be due around September 14th, 2011.  The heartbeat was 134 BPM, in perfect range for gestational age.
How I look  I look pretty much the same, except for my boobs, which seem to have grown a full cup size.  I had to go buy a larger sports bra for the gym, and a sleep bra (I've heard that keeps the girls from sagging later on!)
How I feel Overall I feel OK.  I go from being really excited to being really anxious about the upcoming responsibilities.  I've had a few crying spells and anxiety attacks, but it's getting better now that Jean-Paul is getting more excited and less worried.
Symptoms  Nausea has been off and on all day, but pretty mild.  I'm not vomiting, and as long as it's a nice day, I usually feel well enough to carry on my activities
Cravings  None.  I just have no desire to cook :(
Excited about  Finding out the sex, so we can plan a nursery and register for all the goodies! Hopefully reaching the 13 week mark so I can tell extended family and more friends.  Only a handful of friends and family currently know.
Worried about  Health of the baby, my health and Crohn's disease coming back post-pardum, money, time off from work, pumping at work, staying in shape, being organised, finding an awesome and affordable nannie/mother's helper for the days I work from home, and a great in-home childcare for the days I go into the office.
Etc...  My good friend Amy, whom I chat with at work on instant messenger all day, delivered her precious baby Willliam last night.  I'm so happy for her, but she was the only co-worker I had shared the news with yet. So to keep from going insane, I had to share with one more yesterday.  Congrats Shuang, you're it!
