How Far Along: 5 Weeks 4 Days
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think I’m still holding steady
with my weight. I feel the urge to eat more often but not much sounds good.
Maternity Clothes: I brought all of them in from storage and
should be washing them as we speak but it feels good to sit here after working
so hard yesterday. I also managed to score a new Bella Band from Ebay for less
than half price. I hope it’s here soon because this bloat is so uncomfortable
in my regular pants.
Stretch Marks: The originals from Gracie and I don’t think
it’s going to take long to expand this time. I’m already terribly bloated and
having round ligament pains like crazy.
Sleep: Not so great, it looks as if I’m going to have to
start taking Unisom again. I wake up to pee and never go back to sleep. I also
have started talking in my sleep which is really aggravating for me and Andrew.
I wake him and myself up throughout the night.
Movement: A lot of gas
Food Cravings and Aversions: I’ve enjoyed hot wings,
chocolate covered pretzels, and breakfast food this week. Still not craving
sweets that much but they aren’t totally disgusting either.
Gender: I’m still stuck on girl but if the old wives tales
have any truth to them maybe it’s a boy with all of the different cravings.
Belly Button In or Out: In
Labor Signs: No thank you
What I Miss: Kind of missing coffee which I know I could
have but would rather not start the habit again and I miss sweets. I really want
to eat chocolate but then it just isn’t satisfying.
What I Am Looking Forward To: I’m still waiting to get
insurance straightened out so no doctor appointments have been scheduled yet. I
know the longer I wait the better the ultrasound will be but I’d like to have a
date to look forward to.
Weekly Wisdom: Wear stretchy pants…seriously made me feel so
much better not being bound up and trying to suck in my gut all day.
Best Moment This Week: Going through all of my old maternity
clothes and reliving a few memories from being pregnant with Gracie.
What's going on in the uterus this week
The embryo doesn't look like much more than a tadpole right now, but at five weeks, she's already starting to form major organs (heart, stomach, liver, kidney) and systems (digestive, circulatory, nervous)
