Yay! I've already gotten the best gift ever, so I know anything else that we do to celebrate tomorrow will be extra special! I've been registering on websites such as What To Expect and The Bump . They've got a lot of great info, including a weekly update of what your body is doing and how your baby is growing. It's so neat! The only strange think I've found so far is that What To Expect says I'm 5 weeks pregnant and The Bump says I'm 4 weeks. And based on a calendar, I'm 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I won't really find out for sure until I go to the doctor for my ultrasound (2 weeks from today!), so I guess I'll just wait until then to know for sure! I've been a member of What To Expect since we started trying, so it was so exciting to finally put a due date in! A co-worker of mine also let me borrow her copy of What To Expect When You're Expecting when we started trying. Apparently my doctor's office gives you a copy on your first prenatal visit. We'll see if they still do that! If not, I'll give back her copy and get my own.
I know I'm a little nuts, but I bought more pregnancy tests at Walgreens last night to make sure I'm still pregnant. I know...I'm crazy. But I can't help it. I've just wanted to see a positive sign for so long and I want to make sure it's still there. And it was. And the positive line showed up quick.
I want to be able to write down what I'm feeling, so I found this book at Barnes & Noble.com. It's called The Belly Book by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Barnes & Noble has a "Pick Me Up" program that allows you to reserve a copy at the store and they'll hold it for 3 days. So I'm going to pick it up tomorrow night after we go out to Natalia's for my birthday dinner. I'm excited about celebrating with my family tomorrow. 28 years old...I can't believe it!
How Far Along: 4 weeks and 3 days
Total weight gain: I don't plan on getting on a scale until I have to
Maternity clothes: Old clothes still fitting
Sleep: I'm not able to sleep in on my days off like I used to be able to. I used to be able to sleep until 2 in the afternoon! Now I wake up around 7:15 and my brain is instantly awake so I can't go back to sleep. Boo.
Best Moment this week:That's a toss-up. Finding out on Sunday that my hCG went up so well, having people ask me questions like names, nursery plans, etc., and telling certain people
Movement: None yet
Nausea: Waves every now and then. I feel like wretching for a second, then it passes. But it's okay! I welcome the symptoms!
Gender: I'm guessing boy or girl. I'm sticking with this one for awhile.
Labor signs: None and I hope not to see any for a long time!
Belly button: Innie
Cravings: Nothing crazy yet
What I miss: Still happy about everything right now!
Stretch Marks: No new ones
Weekly wisdom: Grapes settle my stomach temporarily
What I am looking forward to this week: Announcing my pregnancy on Facebook and at work
