Journal #2: Week 5

         So there's this blog that I absolutely LOVE called The Three Little Birdies, (You gotta check it out! You can find it on my favorite blogs list on the right sidebar), and I basically read it every time I have to sit through a boring class. Last Thursday, I was sitting in my history class, and I literally had to cover my mouth because I was about to BUST up laughing from a post she wrote about emotional breakdowns she's been having. I was laughing so hard not because of what she was going through, but because I have been a bit of an emotional wreck myself and can truly relate to her. I love reading other people's pregnancy blogs because I know that there are other women just like me, who are experiencing the good, the bad, and the ugly prego symptoms.
So, I have decided to be a bit of a copy cat, and incorporate some of her ideas into my journal entries. From now on, every week I will be including a list of questions answered for that week, and a picture of my transforming belly. But until I begin to show, I'll just post a picture of how big my baby is. Here we go!!

How far along? 5 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I don’t own a scale but it feels like 2 pounds already! L
Maternity clothes? No way!
Stretch marks? none
Sleep: I sleep really well, but I’ve been starting to sleep in way too late.
Best moment this week: Clearing out our office to make into a nursery! We set up our rocking chair, a book shelf, and a colorful lamp and I’m already getting way excited!
Miss Anything? Ice cream!! And not being an emotional roller coaster!
Movement: Nope, too early!
Food cravings: Guacamole!! Love me some guaq!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: If I don’t eat for a while I start to feel queasy. I HATE it when people bring food into my classes, I have to sit far away! I haven’t thrown up at all though.

Have you started to show yet: Nope!
Gender Prediction: I really want a boy, but all I want is a healthy baby. My gut INSTINCT is telling me it’s a GIRL!
Symptoms: sore breasts, some nausea, occasional headaches & I get light headed

Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Combo of both. I can get really moody, which is frustrating because I can’t help it, and the littlest thing will set me off! But I’ve also been happy when things are going well J
Looking forward to: The END of the first trimester when I won’t be nauseous.
