6 down, 34 to go

This was not an easy week. When I found out I was pregnant I signed up to receive this e-newsletter that chronicles your pregnancy by week. Monday morning I got the 6-week email saying that this week will be tough. Yeah, right. What it should have said is, 'you will feel like a Mack truck has run you over, backed up, and run you over again for good measure.' That would have been more accurate.

Monday morning I woke up and my boobs hurt so bad! For the rest of the week I've been sleeping in a bra and that seems to help. This weekend I'm going to look for one that doesn't have an underwire so it'll be even more comfortable. I think they're already getting bigger too - this concerns me as I wasn't that small to start with and I'd really prefer not to have porn boobs when it's all said and done. But I guess I don't have much say in the matter right?

I'm so tired too! I've been going to bed around 9:30 every night and I still can't seem to get out of bed in the morning. The past two days I haven't worn makeup to work and I assure you, that's huge for me. I'm not a stickler about makeup but I always wear makeup to work. But it has just been beyond my capabilities these past couple of days - I choose those extra minutes of sleep over putting on my face.

Last night Drew was really sweet - I wasn't feeling well and laying down seemed to be the only thing that helped. He was cooking but I couldn't even be in the kitchen for long. Once dinner was done, he asked if I wanted to sit with him in the breakfast nook and eat my crackers there. I told him no, that I'd rather just lay down. So he came and got in bed and had dinner with me there! He's so sweet! I was even able to take a few bites of dinner.

Today I have had no nausea so thank God for small blessings, although I sure could put my head down and go to sleep with zero problems. The baby is only the size of a lentil bean but man, it sure is making its presence known! But I'm grateful, because I'm too neurotic to have no symptoms - I'm glad that I'm feeling wonky because that means something's cookin in there!

Awww, I have a bun in the oven!
This was at five weeks - not much to see, but I'm putting it here to say bye-bye to my (somewhat) flat tummy!

  1. I know you're about ready to kick me off your blog, lol. Do you have the link to the pregnancy e-newsletter?

When you leave me a comment, my phone chimes. I run to it from across the house, anxious to read what you've said. I save them in my email and read them multiple times a day, which is why you may not get an immediate response but I promise I eventually respond to every comment that has an email address.

You make me smile - I just thought you should know.
