5 Week Update

5 weeks today! It's already been a week that we've been expecting, and I can't say it's been the easiest week in the whole world, but it's also probably not going to get any easier!

The hardest part about this week is the secret! I'm so terrible at keeping secrets, I can do it when I have to obviously, but I'm just so excited about everything and it's all I can think about that it's practically torture not being able to talk about it all.the.time. Not that anyone wants to listen to me spout on and on all the time, but still I'm going crazy over here!

I'm looking forward to my first OB appointment next Tuesday. I'll be 5 weeks 6 days, just shy of 6 weeks, so I'm already preparing myself that they'll probably schedule my ultrasound that day, and not actually give me one. I'm sure it's too early to really see anything then anyway, but my hope is that I don't have to wait until 8 weeks for my first ultrasound, because another two weeks will just kill me! (sarcasm - noted)

A snapshot of 5 weeks:
Symptoms - I've been getting up all night long having to go pee, and it's hard enough getting to sleep and staying asleep as it is! No idea why that is, I don't remember if I had trouble sleeping with the girls' pregnancy, but I don't think I did. I'm tired most of the day, sometimes I just want to give up and hire a nanny lol I'm sure the fatigue is only going to get worse though. My nausea has subsided since yesterday, but I'm looking around every corner for it.
Food cravings - I still really only want potato chips and french onion dip, nothing else is appealing and when I do force myself to eat it tastes bad. I think my taste buds are on vacation.
Size of baby - Baby is now the size of an apple seed, so a little bit bigger this week, but still really small! Grow baby grow!
