How Far Along: Uh, 5 weeks, I think? Pregnancy math is weird, yo.
Size of Baby: An orange seed.
What I'm Doing: Waiting for the home security system installers to arrive. Apparently to Nick, the introduction of young humans into our abode has triggered a strong caveman like NEED TO PROTECT.
Cravings: I don't think I'm really having any full blown cravings (as I am, after all, barely pregnant), but I rarely eat red meat and I've had it 3-4 times this week which is sort of unusual for me. Maybe I'm low in iron?
Sleep: Lots of it. So far today I woke up at 6:30am, read a book for a few hours, coerced Nick into taking me out to breakfast, took a nap, got a pedicure (Thanks, Jill!), took a nap, and now I'm up briefly but already dreaming of bedtime.
Sex of Baby: Unknown
Symptoms: mild nausea, cramping, fatigue, insane sniffing abilities (I sussed out some veggies going bad in the fridge without even opening the fridge!)
Fetal Movement: none
What I'm looking forward to next week: Buying a pregnancy book for dads so that I can quit making up answers to all of Nick's rapid-fire baby/pregnancy related questions. :)
Best moment of the week: A three-way tie - both of the calls from the nurse with our beta numbers along with a dinner last night to celebrate my friend Elizabeth's graduation from UMKC. E - starting working on your KC bucket list before you (sniff, sniff) leave us for Boulder!
Special thanks to: All of you for your calls, texts, emails, hugs and general well wishes. We are feeling the love, guys. Also, extra special thanks to Ashley for lending me some maternity pants and indulging my fear of waking up some day unable to button my regular pants. You're the best.
