Month 1

Confession- I have a problem. I like being in control. And knowing what's going on. And so, with just trying for 2 months, and with the help with ovulation tests, we're already expecting baby #3! (To my dear friends who have fertility difficulties, please feel free to curse my name and throw darts at my photo- whatever helps! I can't even imagine the heartache and trials you go through.)


How far along? 5 weeks!

Baby's size? A size of a sesame seed!

Maternity clothes? Naw- I'm still carrying weight I gained after breaking my leg, so here's to hoping I don't get too big or gain much weight this time around.
 

Sleep: Mostly good! Had a couple hard nights before I realized I was pregnant, but now I'm just having trouble getting to bed. Nathan is working late this week, and turns out he's really good at telling me to go to bed!

Best moment(s) this past month: Finding out I was pregnant! Seriously- this last week was awful! I burnt myself pretty bad cooking in our deep fryer, had a sick daughter, overflowing diarrhea toilet, broken lamp, and 2 cuts from said broken lamp. But finding out I was pregnant after those 2 hard days- it was just a huge blessing! Mind you, I'm starting to get more cranky this week, so it's not all sunshine and roses. But man, it was a nice ending to that no good, terrible week.
 

Miss Anything? Ibuprofen! I have a small headache today, and acetaminophen is just worthless.

Movement: Not yet- too small!

Anything making you queasy or sick: And it starts... I felt sick last night from eating too much, and today because I think I'm not eating enough... I just can't win!

 

Cravings: french fries for like a minute, then they sounded horrible...

Labor Signs: Not yet.

 

Gender: I think we're going to have a surprise baby this time! We always said it would be fun to have a surprise one once we had a girl and a boy, and we do, so we'll see how long that lasts ;-)

Symptoms: So so tired! And starting to feel sick

 

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On! I got mine resized after my hands never really got back to their regular size. We'll see how long it lasts.

 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy in the morning when I have patience, moody in the afternoon until Nathan comes home, then happy again! 2 young kids while pregnant is no joke!

Looking forward to: My mom coming in town- she's coming right in time for my first dr appt and ultrasound!
