The digital pregnancy test died today. I’m so so so tempted to buy more to have some visible proof that I’m pregnant.

But that’s just a little silly, right? 🙈

I’m five weeks tomorrow and we have nicknamed the baby Tomo. We have our first appointment on April 11th!

More pregnant than last month!

Took a test this morning after not taking one for like, 2 days. The test line is as dark as the control line. Crazy!

Had my blood drawn on Thursday and got the results that my HCG was at 391. It had quadrupled in 72 hours! Haha, I could’ve cried.

Jesse and I have settled on a boy’s name. Harrison Paul. 

For girls we’re kind of stuck. I love love LOVE the name Charlotte, but I know very well it’s going to be one of the top popular names over the next five years. Another much loved option is Caroline. 

We went to Target and kind of looked at baby stuff and bought a box of diapers.

I’m feeling so blessed by my General lack of major symptoms. Mild heartburn, nighttime discomfort, insomnia, sore boobs and constant hunger. Honestly, the boobs and hunger are the worst things so far. And both are manageable. I’m in so many groups on facebook, glow, etc, and so many people are struggling with sickness, I feel so lucky so far. I wouldn’t even say I’m really emotionally compromised either. Which is huge, because I’m bipolar to start with lol. Anyway, I feel a slight pressure in my abdomen, which tells me that little shark is there, growing every day. No bump yet, obviously, even though I’ve always looked permanently pregnant. I could pass for 16 weeks if I tried 😂

On the brighter side, I told my parents and they could not be more excited. I told them about the bleeding and they both told me not to stress out, and just to find a doctor. The only thing is I'm over at their place for the weekend.. I wonder if I could get in sometime this weekend..

Bright red blood when I wiped.. Help me not freak out, y'all..

I had my first bout of nausea this morning 😖 I also took a third test this morning and the line is very much darker than yesterday afternoon's! I told my sister and my best friend (after I told my fiancé, of course ;) and they're both excited. I'm going over to my parents' tonight and MAN, are they gonna be surprised.

I'm supposed to enjoy being pregnant...

(since this will be our 2nd child, and our last... and also since we tried so long, and so hard to get pregnant) But this little sour patch kid, who is quite clearly half of his/her father is making it tough. I am only 4w6d. With my first child, I had no idea I was pregnant until morning sickness started at about 8-9 weeks. I literally don't remember having any other symptoms (esp. since my cycles were irregular, even then). But this little booger has me on my toes (and over the toilet) already... This sounds ridiculous, but here are a list of my symptoms so far 1. sore SoRe SORE sooooorrrrre boobs 2. mid-low backache 3. occasional headaches 4. increased sense of smell 5. more frequent urination 6. odd cravings here and there 7. sinus congestion And tonight/this morning, add one more to the algorithm. 8. "morning" sickness defined as waking me up out of sleep just because midnight has rolled past. I have woken up to hurl twice. 0200, and 0400. Just so far. And I'm not feeling too hot right now (0500), either.
