7 weeks!

I kind of neglected my 6 week post, and for that, I'm sorry!  I will try to make up for it now! 

Things are going pretty well.  Been a really uneventful pregnancy so far.  I read stories about women with wicked morning sickness and I am thankful I am not among them.  I will admit-it does worry me sometimes.  I wonder if it's normal to not have it.  I thought I would have by now.  As long as our baby is healthy, I'm fine not having it at all! 

My symptoms have been pretty mild, like I said above.  What I'm mostly feeling now is...

-Fatigue
-More frequent urination
-Some boob soreness every so often.  It comes and goes. 
-Bloody nose every morning.  I know, it sounds gross.  It's not gushing blood or anything, only visible when I blow my nose.
-Digestive changes (I won't elaborate...haha!)

That's about it right now.  Oh, and vivid dreams.  VERY vivid dreams.  Dreams that feel real.  I have always had really strange dreams, Andy will attest to this.  I have told him about some of them the next morning, and he had looked at me like I was nuts!  Anyway, my dreams are still weird, just more "real" feeling I guess is the best way to describe it.  I feel confused sometimes when I wake up.  It's quite a different experience!

 

Oh!  I bought this outfit recently!  I know, it's early, but, I saw it and couldn't resist!  It's a 3-month-old size, but that's fine, they will wear it eventually!

5 weeks!

Today I am 5 weeks pregnant!  Our baby is about the size of a sesame seed!  Their brain, circulatory system, and heart are developing.  By the end of the week, they will have a heartbeat!  So far, everything is going great.  I still don't have a ton of symptoms, but I have read that is normal for being so early into the pregnancy.  My sleep is definitely effected.  Sometimes I am dead tired-other times I can hardly sleep because I can't get comfortable, or I just feel awake.  This morning, I woke up at 6:00am and couldn't fall back to sleep for the life of me.  I was physically tired, but my mind wouldn't cooperate.  Plus I felt hungry.  So, I got out of bed, joined Andy in the living room, and ate a bowl of cereal and watched a little television with him.  I was able to go back to bed around 8:00am to get a few hours more of sleep. 

Andy and I went shopping tonight.  We were looking at baby-things at Target.  I found a lot of cute clothes and other things I want.  I have decided I want to go with a jungle theme overall.  It's neutral, and we definitely want to have more then one baby, and do not want to buy new stuff for every baby we have.  I figured a jungle theme would be a good choice. 

I will not be updating this blog every night, only as I see necessary.  Probably every week, or when certain events arise.  I am looking forward to the first ultrasound! 

One week later....

A week ago is when implantation took place, and I officially became pregnant!  Tomorrow marks the day I got my positive pregnancy test!  I had a dream this afternoon that my little bean is a girl-we will have to wait until June to find out for sure!  Still counting down the days until the first ultrasound.  Trying to keep myself occupied, but it's not easy!  All I think about is this pregnancy.  It's hard not to think about it constantly.  I really hope everything goes right with this pregnancy; Andy and I are looking forward to having a Thanksgiving baby!
