5 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 5 Weeks (this picture was taken Monday, August 9th)

Size of baby: About the size of a Sesame Seed. Wow, that's tiny!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: None yet, I've fluctuated up and down 1 or 2 pounds, but that's all.

Maternity Clothes: Don't need them yet, but I did buy a nice pair of maternity pants and I'm looking forward to needing them.

Gender: Only God knows at this point.. Daddy's hoping for a boy!

Movement: None yet, but I'm really looking forward to feeling the baby move!

Sleep: I'm sleeping wonderfully aside from a few crazy dreams.

Symptoms: Crazy dreams and feeling tired in the afternoons.

What I miss: ???

Cravings: None yet, Scotty is looking forward to my crazy cravings.

Best Moment this week: Sharing the good news with family and friends.

What I am looking forward to: My first doctor's appointment on August 30th. We'll get to have an ultrasound that day and know the due date.

Please excuse my feeble attempt at a self portrait. Hopefully I'll have better pictures in the weeks to come. The picture seems to look like I have a bit of a belly already... I'm blaming that on the dress ;-)

Here I am at 6 weeks...
