5 weeks

To preface for those who think I am nut-so for starting these so early, I will just say that these are more for ME then anyone else. I realize I don't have a bump yet (just fat & bloat), but I WISH I had started these earlier with C. I don't remember a lot of my symptoms & how I was feeling early on last time & if we end up having a third baby (focus on this one, i know!) I'd like to be able to remind myself that "yep, this is normal!" So, on that note...here we go!

Fat/Bloat...Woo!

How far along?: 5 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain/loss:  Down 2lbs from pre-pregnancy weight

Maternity clothes?: Too early

Symptoms: Low back pain, fatigue, nausea, cramping, diarrhea/constipation (they take turns), decreased appetite, gas, & frequent urination

Stretch marks?: No new ones, too early.

Sleep: Lots & lots of it. Been going to bed before 9:30PM lately & still could use a daytime nap.

Movement: WAY too early & if I have an anterior placenta again it may be a while.

Food cravings: Ha! More like aversions. Pretty much everything looks & sounds disgusting right now. Just thinking of certain foods the other day made me nauseous. I wasn't even able to enjoy ice cream last night. =(

Gender: Way too early & I honestly have no intution or inkling at all this time around.

Labor Signs: Too soon.

Belly Button in or out? In. Obviously. =)

What I miss: Enjoying food. =(

What I am looking forward to: My first appt. (with the nurse) next Tuesday

Milestones: Baby is already starting to form major organs (heart, stomach, liver, kidney) and systems (digestive, circulatory, nervous).
