Week 5

How far along? 5 Weeks

How big is baby? A mere .13 inches, or the size of an appleseed. In other words, teeny tiny, but visible.

Total weight gain/loss: I'm going to count this as my start...

Maternity clothes? None...although, Old Navy had some stuff on clearance that I ordered last night.

Sleep: I loooooove going to bed early. And apparently waking up early.

Best moment this week: Wednesday (10/3) I finally felt normal-after a week of major bloat, gas, and fatigue.

Movement: Does occasional cramping count?

Food cravings: None, just starving all the time.

Food Aversions: none, yet. 

Gender: I am anticipating a boy, as is my SIL, but the Chinese Gender Charts in all their infinitive wisdom say it's a girl.

Labor Signs: I hope not!

Pregnancy Symptoms: Mild cramping, fatigue and hungry. Today I was a little queasy-my stomach bowels felt almost hungover today, but Nick felt that way some, too. Maybe it was something we ate.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Nick had a hard apple cider with dinner Friday night. It looked so good.

What I am looking forward to: Everything!

Upcoming appointments/events:  Medical history appointment in 2 weeks on October 18. First Dr appointment (with dating ultrasound) on Oct. 31. 

Weekly Wisdom: "Today I am pregnant, Today I am happy, Today I am healthy, and Today is all that matters." I've seen this on a couple of different blogs, and I have to agree.

Milestones: Being able to tell very close friends (2 each) and immediate family.
