I've officially entered the "you can get sick at any moment" time frame of pregnancy, so they say at least. Starting from 6 weeks onward, the morning sickness can hit. So here's how I've felt this week.
How far along: 6 weeks, 5 days
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've been fluctuating between +2 and -2
Major Symptoms: It's weird because early in the week I actually felt pretty good. I wasn't as tired, my boobs were less sore (relatively speaking) and I just felt like I had a bit more energy. As the week progressed I started to notice things change. By Thursday afternoon I started to feel crappy. I left work a bit early because I did feel kind of sick to my stomach, although I could still eat and didn't throw up - nothing just seemd appealing. I also was EXTREMELY fatigued. I came home and took a 2-hour nap before I went out and had dinner with Jill. That night while sleeping I woke up a few times because I noticed my boobs were insanely sore - they felt like rocks on my chest! Friday was more of the same, especially in the afternoon. I also noticed my face break out Friday as well. It's like I can definitely tell when the hormones surge because I get fatigued first, then the boobs get sore and then I break out. Today, the cramps and aches have started...so I'm sure whatever surge happened was meant to cause some more growing - which is GREAT! Oh yeah, the last symptom is gas (sorry TMI) but it's been pretty bad the past 2 days.
Stretch marks: Nope - I have started Palmer's Cocoa Butter every night all over just for prevention!
Sleep: I loooooove the deep sleep I get when I'm fatigued...it's like the greatest thing in the world to do is lay down and sleep.
Best moment last week: Since the week isn't over I'll say that the best moment will be telling my Dad that we're pregnant tomorrow when he visits.
Movement: Nope, just achey-ness
Food cravings/aversions: Man, it's hard for me to feel like eating anything available to me. Sometimes nothing sounds good and I have to force whatever I can down...thank goodness it hasn't started coming back up yet.
Belly button - in or out? In
Labor signs: Not yet
What I miss: I'm starting to feel like I can't lay on my back when I'm in bed reading a book. I've got to kind of lean to the side to prevent pains. I'm sure it will only get worse as time goes by...I'm not too heartbroken about it though.
What I am looking forward to: First ultrasound this coming Monday!
Milestones: Moved into the "queasy" period - let's hope I'm one of the lucky ones!
