Weekly Update: 5 weeks!

Dear New Little Blessing,

I'm sure over the course of this pregnancy, you will have many more nicknames then the one you have now, but "new little blessing" describes exactly what you are to me and your daddy!

Today, I am 5 weeks pregnant!  That means you are going to be born around May 30, 2011!  What a great month for a birthday.  Your grandmother, GiGi, and your great-grandmother, Effie, were both born in May.  It is also exactly one month after my birthday!  

Weekly Update

How far along?  5 weeks!

How big is the baby?  Just over a millimeter long...like a small grain of rice.

Weight Gain?  None so far...125 pounds.

Symptoms?  Bloating, feeling like I need to eat more (but I'm sure that's more mental), gotta-go feeling

Maternity Clothes?  Not pulling them out yet :)

Sleep?  Getting 8 hours a night :)

Best moment of the week?  Getting family pictures made

Food Cravings?  Not yet!

Food aversions?  Not yet, but the cheese dip didn't taste that great to me yesterday!

Gender?  Don't know yet, but I immediately thought you were a girl when I found out, and then a few days later, I thought boy....now, I really just don't know! 

Movement?  None yet.

What I Miss?  Nothing yet.

Belly Button? Innie

What I am looking forward to? My growing belly and finding out your gender!

Milestone? No milestones yet.

Your daddy and I have lots to do before your arrival.  We are going to try to clean out the whole house, and get rid of everything we don't need!  I hope we can get that done soon.  We are planning a yard sale to make a little extra money to spend on you!

We love you so much,

Mama
