Week 5 Update

Total weight gain:

1.5 pounds

Body changes:

Breasts are sore. Bloaded. My skin is looking good.

Sleep: 

Lower back pain. I wake up early morning feeling very tight in my lower back. It's difficult to sleep. I had this at the end of my pregnancy really bad but not at the beginning. Now I have it very early on.  I hope it goes away soon...

Best moment this week:

Receiving rave reviews on my chapter 4 from my chair. I'm getting so close to being done with  my Ph.D :)  

Gender: 

Not sure...

Food Cravings / Aversions: 

Hungry but eating healthier this week. I just can't buy sweets and keep them in the house. The temptation is too big then. No aversions and cravings are on the sweet side...

What I miss:

Taking a bath.

Symptoms:

Pregnancy brain. Little patience...a little bitchy (my poor hubby). Difficulty concentrating. Tired.

Movement: 

Way too early.

What I am looking forward to:

Lazy days at home.

Milestones: 

Converting our guest bedroom into nursery. This will require a lot of boxing up, selling furniture, and creating a new desk area elsewhere. We are running out of space but we will make it work just fine. We love our cozy house.

Thought of the week: 

Summer is here. Steamy, sweaty summer days. Two showers a day is a must. Looking forward to that first cooler night in fall :)
