Baby 2.0

4 Weeks:
How far along? 4 weeks, 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: I'd say I've gained water weight! So bloated! I was getting mad at Brandon (sorry) taking my first weekly picture because I "already look pregnant". First appointment isn't until beginning of 2nd Trimester though so I can't track weight too closely yet.
Maternity clothes? No but I did order a few new items from Gap Maternity. I can't wait for elastic bands all day, every day without the guilt...hahaha!
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: I am pretty much confined to a computer lab during the school day so I can relax but as soon as I get home I get very sleepy. Blake tries to get my attention, not always in a good way, and I feel terrible because I just don't want to move. This only started like 2 days ago though so I don't think any serious parenting damage has incurred. :)
Best moment this week: Finding out we were expecting! This was a little bit more scientific than I would've hoped for. First, I tested too early and got a negative. Then, after waiting 4-5 more days I took a new test and it didn't work (and only 1 was in the box that said it was a 2 count...) so I retried and it turned positive but I questioned its validity. So I grabbed an expired test from when we were trying with Blake and that one turned positive but I questioned it again because it was expired! Mind you, this was all at 6 am in the morning because I couldn't sleep. So when everyone was awake I made a quick trip to the store, bought more tests, went home, retested and got a faint positive. Yay!
Have you told family and friends: No. ;) My mom said the wait was just too long when I told her the day we found out with Blake so we're going to wait a little bit. It's fun to have a big secret, kind of. ;)
Miss anything yet? Caffeine. I don't usually drink much of it but when I can't have it....
Movement: Nope...just gas bubbles. :)
Food cravings: Not yet. Trying to eat as healthy as possible during this critical stage of early development before any morning sickness kicks in.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Being too hot, which is more common now that I'm expecting, has been giving me that car sick feeling.
Have you started to show yet: Not technically. I have a little bloat pouch. There's only so much sucking in I can do! I am concerned that I may show so fast that we will have to announce earlier this time.
Gender prediction: No gut feelings yet. And I was wrong almost the entire pregnancy with Blake.
Labor signs: No thank goodness!
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: MOODY. Irrationally moody.
Looking forward to: The last day of school and our cruise! Also, getting Blake's big boy room delivery from the Land of Nod!
