5 weeks 3 days

How far along? 5 weeks and 3 days (5 weeks 1 day according to the doctor's wheel, but I'll wait for the ultrasound for an accurate date)

Weight gain/loss? Nothing at this point.

Maternity Clothes? Not yet, but the Bella Band is my best friend.

Stretch Marks? Nope.

Sleep? I want sleep. All the time.

Best Moment This Week? We've made it to 5 weeks and the doctor's test confirmed we're in fact preggers. Big milestones I'd say.

Movement? Still wayyy too soon.

Food Cravings? Spicy foods, and fresh foods. The thought of overly processed/greasy food makes my stomach turn.

Gender? No idea. I'm hoping for a boy, B is hoping for a girl. We shall see.

Belly Button In or Out? In.

What I am Looking Forward To? Our first ultrasound and seeing the heartbeat.

Weekly Wisdom? Make lists. Pregnancy brain has officially set in.

Nursery progress? Not much progress as we're uber busy the next two weeks. However, we've almost decided that we want to put flooring down versus the carpet that's in there. Almost.

What the baby's up to this week: Your embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of hCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests)... which triggers production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone... which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!

PS: I got my iPhone 4 this weekend, and I LOVE it!

4 weeks 3 days

So, that's right, it's survey time. I think I'm going to make this a Sunday evening post. Let's see if I can keep up with it! Lol.


How far along? 4 weeks and 3 days

Weight gain/loss? Nothing at this point.

Maternity Clothes? Not yet, but I did have to break out my Bella Band already for a few pair of jeans... Stupid bloat!

Stretch Marks? Nope.

Sleep? I noticed my hips getting sore after laying down for more than 10 minutes. But I loooove sleep and want to sleep all the time.

Best Moment This Week? Getting our BFP!!

Movement? Still wayyy too soon.

Food Cravings? Mexican/spicy foods.

Gender? No idea. I'm hoping for a boy, B is hoping for a girl. We shall see.

Belly Button In or Out? In.

What I am Looking Forward To? Our first ultrasound and seeing the heartbeat.

Weekly Wisdom? Don't leave puppies unattended. They'll eat your expensive Macbook chargers.

Nursery progress? I know it's early, but we started moving our "office" into our other spare bedroom. I can't wait to paint!

Belly Pic:



What the baby's up to this week: In week 4, now safe in your womb, the ball of cells (blastocyst) splits in two, becoming the embryo and the placenta. The amniotic sac and fluid are forming around baby, and will act as a cushion for the next eight months.

Fruit: Poppy seed

BFP!!

That's right...



We were lucky enough to get our BFP (big fat positive) after only trying for two months. Technically one after our doctor's visit. We found out last night. We are very excited, but also very cautious. To date, we've only told our parents and a select group of EXTREMELY close friends. So again, I have to ask that whatever is said here stays here until we announce when we're ready. According to whatever calculators I could find, and trust me it was a lot, we're due roughly around May 19, 2011. Monday I'll be scheduling the first doctor's visit. I'm sure the date is subject to change at this point, but hopefully not by much. At this point I still feel fine with the exception of being tired all the time; and craving mexican food.

AANNNDDD, since I'm still uber excited, expect to see a weekly pregnancy survey. Yup, I'm going to be one of those. But hey, what a better way to keep everyone updated when we don't get to see/talk to everyone all the time.

As always, thoughts and prayers are certainly welcome!

Meet Abigail

Miss Abigail has been a treasure. Such a wonderful addition to our family. Here are a couple pictures from the day we picked her up.







Her and Lily get along like the best of friends. Well, maybe more like sisters. Sisters who fight from time to time. Lol.
