Week 5

How Far Along? 5 weeks, 5 days (but the Midwife might have another opinion on that when we see her)

Maternity Clothes? I'm wearing this band of fabric I got at Target that's supposed to keep you in your regular jeans longer, but it's a HUGE pain in the ass, so I might have to bite the bullet and buy some this week.

Weight Gain? Nothing--my 'bump' is a gas baby...

Stretch Marks? You must mean new ones. Since I have PLENTY of not-new ones. Surely this pregnancy won’t NEED to add any more.

Sleep? Not enough. I wake up and am exhausted an hour later. I seriously took a nap this morning at 10am.

Best Moment of the Week? Telling my parents! They each got a board book called "Grandma/Grandpa and Me" and opened them at the same time.

Movement? Nope.

Gender? No clue. Which is reasonable, since I don't even feel like there's a baby yet!

What I miss? I guess having any energy.

Symptoms? Exhaustion. Being either ravenous all the time, or feeling queasy because I didn't eat right away. Bloating. Constipation (fun!).

What I’m looking forward to? Meeting with the Midwife for the first time and getting this pregnancy confirmed by someone other than me and Scott!

Weekly Wisdom: Eat. Just do it.

Milestones: Another week down!

Emotions: I've done the almost-cry a few times. Mostly by watching YouTube videos of people telling their parents that they're pregnant. Wait until I catch the ASPCA commercial on TV. That will send me over the edge!
