How Far Along: 5 weeks
Size of baby: an apple seed or 0.05 of an inch
Gender: Still unsure, hoping for a healthy baby! According the the world wide web, we've got about 15 weeks left to go until we find out if we'll be bringing home a baby boy or a baby girl :-)
Maternity Clothes: Bought a pair of maternity work pants and a pair of maternity jeans, also a Bella Band - some of my work pans are a little snug, but probably from bloating and what not, I just want to be comfy, so I went ahead and bought the few things.
Movement: No movement, I do feel weird feelings in my belly, but I have to come to learn that is just gas...
Sleep: Still having trouble getting comfortable. I had THE WORST night sleep this past Saturday night! I went up to bed around 11pm, only to finally fall asleep around 4am, unbelievable! All that being said, Ryan had a show that night, he was home and snoring before I was... I don't know what it was, but I would doze off for a few minutes, then wake up and be fully awake. I wondered if I'd get any sleep at all?! I went out the next day and bought the Snoogle preggo pillow. It semi worked last night I guess, I was more tired this morning though, all the no sleep finally catching up with me. That being said, I'm going to head up to bed in about an hour...ha!
Symptoms: Nothing too bad, I felt more nauseous the first few days after I found out, I'm sure I could still get hit with the morning sickness bug... I get random cramping here and there, plenty of gas and usually feel hungry, not stomach growling hunger but just feel as though I could eat all day, yet nothing sounds great. Oh, I am also emotional on and off. I couldn't read a Yahoo story the other day because the picture and title made me want to cry...ha! I also feel like I miss my hubby when he's right near me! These whacked out pregnancy hormones...
What I miss: I miss sleeping through the night, I get up to pee at least one time. Or I should say I try to, last night I DID NOT want to get out of bed to pee, so I held it, I need to get better at getting up. I can't say I miss much. Feels good not to smoke, and to be able to eat what I want. I do miss having some energy, but I do have surges of ups and downs of energy.
Cravings: I feel hungry often, but can't pin point what sounds good or what I want. I am usually a big sweets/chocolate fan, well, I do love me some sweets still but not chocolate so much. I don't hate it though. I just prefer weird things, this past weekend it has been rice crispy treats and tater tot casserole. I literally had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner yesterday. I am going to be polishing it off for lunch at work tomorrow.
What I am looking forward to: Ryan just said 'horrible gas' when I asked what he's looking forward to, ha! Also, he said seeing the baby. I can't wait to find out what this little bambino is going to be, so we can get started decorating his or her nursery.
