Pregnancy Week 5

Happy Monday, Everyone!

I'm 6 weeks pregnant today! Here's what's been going on pregnancy-wise over the past week:

• Well, I'm not going to avoid the nausea. It's back. But it's OK, especially if I can put something in my stomach
• I'm dealing with food aversions like crazy. A couple nights last week all I could stomach was a few crackers and a juice popsicle...nothing else sounded remotely good. I'm finding it really tricky to grocery shop because once I get the food home I don't want to eat it. Very, very little sounds appealing. The only thing I'll consistently eat is cereal (Shredded Wheat or Cheerios) with milk and fruit
• I'm so very tired. Napping almost every day. Sometimes having trouble sleeping at night
• Sore boobs (although not that bad) and a crazy amped up sense of smell
• Lots of brown spotting, especially towards the end of the week, which my clinic swears is nothing to worry about so I'm trying not to worry (but it's hard)
• My belly is so bloated. I can still wear my clothes for the most part, and under clothes you can't really tell, but my belly is already seeming so huge to me compared to what it normally is

I've got my first ultrasound this Wednesday and am getting VERY nervous about it. I'm scared all they are going to find are dead babies. Ugh...being pregnant after miscarrying is HARD. Trying to stay distracted and positive but it's hard. And feeling so pregnant isn't setting my mind at ease, because when I miscarried before I was still having symptoms all over the place. I think I'll feel so much better when Wednesday is over...

Hope everyone has a great week!
