5 weeks (Baby #3)

How far along?: 5 weeks, 2 days

How big is baby?: Approximately the size of an appleseed & about 0.25 inches long.

Total weight gain/loss: Not sure since we're not home & I have no scale to weigh on.

Maternity clothes?: Not at all.

Symptoms: Headaches (a lot of them) have been the worst symptom thus far. Earlier this week I had a headache that lasted more then 24 hours changing from dull to sharp & back again. I never had headaches with either of the boys so this has been new for me. I've been having frequent urination as well, but that could be more from the excess of water (due to the headaches) then anything else. Nausea also started this week, but I've been trying to eat something when I start to feel it coming on in hopes of staving off the worst of it.

Stretch marks?: Nothing new at this point, obviously.

Sleep: I've been really, really tired since I found out & have been going to bed by 10pm every night that I am able. Most nights I'd like to go to bed earlier though. =/ I've also taken a few naps, but not as many as I'd probably like. Thank goodness that H is sleeping pretty well right now & so I'm not getting up at night with him currently. I have been waking up the last few nights to pee though.

Movement: Ha! Definitely not. I just hope that I don't have an anterior placenta this time & I can actually feel movement sooner then like half-way through my pregnancy. Bah.

Food cravings: Not really cravings, more like aversions at this point. Casseroles pretty much make me want to vomit at this point & absolutely nothing really sounds "good." If it were up to this baby the only thing we'd be eating is yogurt, cottage cheese, fruit & fresh veggies. Guess I can't complain too much.

Gender: Gosh...obviously we have no idea yet, but if you asked me right now & I HAD to answer I would tell you I think it's another boy. I don't really have any strong feeling one way or the other, but that's just my guess based on history. We probably won't know until sometime in August.

Labor Signs: Nothing yet, clearly.

Belly Button in or out?: In & I'll be surprised if it doesn't stay that way. I have yet to ever "pop" with any pregnancy.

What I miss: Food tasting normal. Pregnancy seems to dull my taste buds or something. I miss flavor.

What I am looking forward to: My appt on June 23, I'm excited to hopefully get to see this peanut for the first time.

Milestones: Telling my mom & brother. We got H a shirt that says little brother then under that says big brother est. January 2016.
