5 weeks and counting

23/02/2009

So it’s certain. I had my second test done yesterday, the one that tells you in your face: You are Pregnant! Yay! I am so excited, filled with the urge to tell everyone I know!

I thought I was too obsessed about TTC but now, I am obsessed with my foetus! If I am not on BC, I am reading pregnancy books, going week by week, discovering how my baby looks like right now and finding out the 101 ways that can go wrong!

Symptoms so far:

1. Hungry – I am full and full and full and then suddenly… BANG! Extreme starvation! No signs, no warnings! Just an urge to eat anything I find in front of me, otherwise I will die!
2. Bloated – So bloated. Trying to imagine that this will be my belly in two months because of baby and not wind.
3. Tummy ache – I have lower abdominal cramps every now and then, mostly at night. I hope it’s normal. My first Dr appointment is in two days…ages still!
4. Brown spotting - stopped yesterday! Yay!
5. Sleepy – I am sleepy and tired all the time. 30 minute exercise and I want to go to bed.

It has been decided that we are not telling anyone else (told my sister on my first test) up until we return from our trip in California.

DH flies tomorrow on business there and I am meeting him in LA on Saturday. I will be flying alone and had been a bit worried, but thank goodness for BC forums! The girls reassured me that I have nothing to worry about, except just getting up every hour and stretch, let the blood flow J

Lovely. OMG just thought about the shopping I can do over there! I might even look for maternity wear hehehe

I better go and do my research.
