5 Week Journal...
I know I just posted Week 4, but I wanted to have the official post from the nurse there for people to read first. So since I'm 5weeks today, here's this week's update.
How far along? 5 weeks today
Total weight gain/loss: Maintaining my current weight
Maternity clothes? Not yet, still wearing my fun, new clothes
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Ugh. I can't get comfortable and this week has been hard because I've been so tired but can't sleep at night. Normally I sleep on my back, but everything you read suggests sleeping on your left side. I start out fine, using a body pillow that my aunt gave me, but I always want to lay over on my side.
Best moment this week: Being able to talk about this with Alyson. And
Concerns/Fears: Monday my stomach & lower abdomen felt really old and I had a sensation most of the day that I could "feel" my stomach.
Movement: My stomach/abdomen has 'movement', but after talking to the nurse she said it's very natural providing I'm not in pain and I'm not experiencing bleeding (which I'm not)
Food cravings: None, I've tried to eat a lot of vegetables this week
Gender prediction: None. And although Dan & I want a healthy & happy baby above all else, we both would love for it to be a boy. But will be just as happy if it's a girl.
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Words of Wisdom: Drink lots of water & try to go to the bathroom at least once a day.
Milestones: I made it to week 5 and I have my 2nd blood test tomorrow. Looking for magic number: 3300.
