How far along? 5 weeks 6 days

Total weight gain/loss: none either way so far

Maternity clothes? None... Rocking the unbuttoned pants since im so bloated most of the day

Stretch marks? None... so far

Sleep: alot of it! I have been crashing at 9:30pm most nights!

Best moment this week: Realizing on Wednesday that i have 1 week till my first sonogram

Movement: None, and probably not for a while :(

Food cravings: Chicken E although i still havent got to eat it yet!

Gender: open to either boy or girl! (but secretly wishing on a boy)

Labor Signs: better not be!

Belly Button in or out? in, still looks the same in the belly area for the most part

What I miss: People thinking that im smart with out having to prove the baby hasnt sucked my brain dry yet

What I am looking forward to: seeing my little pumpkin next week via sonogram

Weekly Wisdom: It goes by so fast! Enjoy everyday and get all the sleep you can!

Milestones: Making it to 6 weeks tomorrow! : ) 1/2 through the first trimester!! YEAH!

count down to my dr appt...

Well im starting to get antsy! I go to the dr in 6 days!! (Feb 25th) and im so excited and nervous. Im sure all will go perfect but there is always that what if in the back of your brain.

So far things are trucking right along smoothly. Im 5w5d today and i still have not had too many symptoms, besides wanting to sleep all day if someone would let me : )

Sorry to cut this short but i just dont have much to update to the whole 1 person who reads my blog!!

Week 5

As of tomorrow baby z will be 5 weeks : )


Here is what he/she is up to:



Your embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of hCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests)... which triggers production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone... which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!

Well...

Well its official all of the parents know now : ) I couldnt keep it from them. I know everyone says to wait till your trough with your first trimester and past any fear of misscarriage, but the way i see it is if somethine were to happen now i have a big support group to lean on. BUT were not going to think negative all will go smoothly!!

So far i have been feeling great. I get hungry alot more and i go to bed earlier than normal but other than that no real symptoms : ) Hopefully i will be one of the lucky ones!!
