6 weeks pregnant

My doctor's appointment is for June 3. It's just with my regular doctor, I still haven't decided who I'm going to go to. It's between the Birth Center with a midwife and Paoli Hospital.
My NEW symptoms this week:
shortness of breath
feeling faint
all day nausea. I haven't thrown up yet, but I'm nauseous all day.
My continued old symptoms:
Fatigue
ALL my pants don't fit, even most of my sweat pants are too tight.
My stomach has grown 5 1/2 inches.
I have to wake up every night to pee.

I'm pretty sure the baby is due January 14 or 16.
Registering is really hard. I'm totally overwhelmed with all the stuff you need for a baby. Why can't I just get a crib and a car seat?
Last night I packed up all my pants because now I can't even get them ON, let alone buttoned or zipped. I really thought I wouldn't be showing for another 3 months. Yesterday I went into work and my boss said, "You're HUGE! I mean, you look pregnant!" Not expecting that at 7 weeks already, but that is what is happening to me. She did say I looked overall thinner just it's all going to my belly. I guess that is good. Maybe I'll lose weight after this baby is born.
The first time I went to buy maternity clothes I went in, got frustrated and instead of trying to find another store, the thought of that was way too tiring and I had to leave the mall. The second time I went to 2 thrift stores and got a TON of stuff. I still need a good pair of jeans that fit. I'm willing to spend any amount of money.
Have I mentioned I think I might be having twins? I just have a feeling. We'll see. I won't find out until the first ultrasound.
