5 weeks!

Still here. So far, so good! I am approaching the day when the baby stopped growing in my first pregnancy, approx. 5w 6 d -- even though we didn't find out until 9.5 weeks. I'm looking forward to getting past that day and then moving on to the ultrasound the following week.

How far along? 5 weeks

How big is baby? Appleseed

Total weight gain/loss: 135, down 4 lbs

Maternity clothes? Nope.

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep? Insomnia has definitely set in.

Pregnancy dreams? Still having vivid dreams, but none of them have been pregnancy-related yet.

Best moment this week? Second betas on Wednesday. Nearly doubled in 48 hours.

Miss anything? Wine, definitely wine.

Movement? Not yet.

Food cravings? Nothing yet.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Driving still makes me a bit queasy. If I eat too much, I get a little queasy too.

Team Green/Finding Out? Finding out!

Labor signs: Hopefully not for another 35 weeks or so.

Symptoms:Loss of appetite, insomnia, gas.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Both. But mostly happy.

Any milestones this week? Not that I can think of.

Looking forward to: Betas next Wednesday and scheduling our ultrasound.


Right now, I am still waiting to hit bottom for weight before I swing back up. Here's my 5 week pic:
