It's been uneventful on the pregnancy front. We've told pretty much everyone we could, and it should be filtering to the ones we couldn't reach. Clothes are getting a little tighter and I've done a small maternity shopping spree.
Mr. H2O is coming up with and actually suggesting the weirdest baby names. I am drawing the line on using numbers or weird mathematical/science terms.
But really, not much going on here. Still have my typical 1st trimester symptoms of tiredness and such. I really can't wait to get my energy back. People keep telling me that I'll wake up one day and feel 3x more energetic than ever. So I'm waiting for that. For now, afternoon naps feel pretty darn good.

Back From Vaca
We arrived home the other night from our Mexico vacation. We had a great, relaxing time and I just love it there. Having to refrain from drinking alcohol wasn't too bad. They made the virgin tropical drinks extra yummy for me. It is one of our last kiddo-free vacations that we will have. Next time in Mexico, we'll be bringing along a third guest.
So I did great on the flights, I didn't get sick at all the whole time, and found plenty of things I could eat (which I was worried about). Had my normal bloat and sleepiness symptoms, but it was fine because I was relaxed and on vacation. I got plenty of sun too.
So, right before we left we spilled the beans to my family by sending the ultrasound pic. Then we let my in-laws in on the secret while in Mexico with them. Everyone is thrilled all the way around, as expected.
Now we're getting ready to spill it to the rest of the world.

Insatiable
I am hungry. All the time. I can't seem to get enough to eat at any time. I eat a meal, and then I am hungry again in an hour. And it is the kind of hungry that if I don't eat quick, I am going to be sick. It is sort-of bordering on annoying. I do not have enough time to keep interrupting my work in order to eat. And what is worse, I hardly want to eat anything that I have. I have a kitchen full of good food, and when I need to eat, I want none of it.
I guess I am a lot better off than the most of my fellow 1st trimester'ers, with all out morning, noon and night sickness. It worries me slightly that I haven't really been hit with full on morning sickness at this point. Of course now that I've said that, it will probably slam me tomorrow.
Speaking of slightly worried about not having the m/s thing, my first ultrasound is coming up in 5 days. I am praying really really hard that we have a wiggly baby in there with a strong heartbeat. I still have the major sore boobs thing and the mad bloating, so I shouldn't worry too much about the lack of other symptoms. Just need to stay calm until the ultrasound.

Yikes, It's an Alien Baby
That is what I think when I see my little ticker in the upper right hand corner. It's looking a little alien like right now. Right now all the books and websites say that Baby Barber is the size of a lentil or grain of rice. How cute! My little alien grain of rice.
Not much to report thus far. Overall, I am actually feeling pretty good much of the time. I had an appointment last week where I met with the nurse who asked silly questions, took what must have been 10 vials of blood and peed in a cup. Not very exciting stuff. But I scheduled my first ultrasound that will be a week from Monday at 8 weeks. Can't wait to see a picture of what is in there.

Ugh... Bloat!
At this point, I just look fat, not pregnant. The bloat is crazy and is making this already slightly plus sized body look fatter. I'm only 5 weeks and a couple days, so there's no way I can blame this on baby belly yet. It's just ugly.
On to other things, I generally feel good. The bit of nausea I had the other day really hasn't reared it's ugly head again. As long as I eat regularly, then I feel ok. Though my super-human sense of smell has provoked a gag reflex for certain smells of certain foods (like Mr H2O's dinner the other night).
Oh, and I don't know if this is some stereotypical pregnancy thing, but I LOVE pickles. They are sooooooo good. I gag at the thought of having them with ice cream though. I just like them by themselves.

Horray for 5 Weeks
Today I am 5 weeks pregnant. Just one week closer to the end. I feel better and more excited as each week progresses without issue or complications. Though it seems like time is ticking by so slowly. I'm sure I'll look back thinking differently about my concept of time passing.
Nausea crept up on me today. It was one of those, I'm getting kind-of hungry and I better eat something or I'll be sick... but even after I eat the nausea still lingers. Oh well. It's another good sign that things are going the way they are supposed to.
And for fun, my baby is the size of an apple seed! here's what the Nest (er, the "Bump" now I guess) says about our baby's progress this week:
Your embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of hCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests)... which triggers production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone... which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!

My Love of the Day
Oh, Champion sports bras from Target, how much do I love thee? Pretty damn much. Those things are awesome.
With the lovely bb tenderness I've been feeling since the weekend, putting them on is like a piece of heaven. They are all I want to wear. Normal bras just don't cut it and hurt a little too much. These things are comfy as hell. I like them so much, I went to target and bought 2 more.
This much soreness doesn't happen that often with me, so maybe this is a good sign??? One can only hope. I'm 6dpo today, so I have roughly a week to see if we were sucessful or not. Keep your fingers crossed!
Not to keep my mind of the 2ww some more.
