5 weeks, 5 days




I know, I know. I'm practically six weeks. I was originally not going to post anything until 6 weeks but I had the thought that I might not make it to six weeks so HERE WE ARE.

This will be short because there honestly isn't much to say. I just wanted you to have another mirror pic of my cute face and nonexistent bump

Although I should add that the bloat is SO REAL. I was wearing some stretchy jegging shorts this weekend and they were SO tight and hurt soooo bad, and these are shorts that like..definitely fit me two weeks ago. Waistbands are not my friend right meow.

Other than that, my only symptoms are still just the extreme exhaustion and most recently suuuuper significant boob pain. Like, wake me up at 3 in the morning because they ache so bad. I've also been having lots of cramping, but I think that's mostly due to the bloat. And cramping isn't a bad thing anyway, so I'm not worried.

I really feel like this one is going to be the one that sticks. Maybe I'm just too scared to admit to myself any other possibility, but I just feel really really good about this. I'm praying so hard guys.

Our first dr appointment is August 10 (can't remember if I mentioned that before) but honestly if I make it to 6 weeks I'm just going to breathe a huge sigh of relief. I know I can still miscarry after that, obviously, but I haven't made it to 6 weeks since Milo so it's just going to feel really good. And once I get into that ultrasound and see a heartbeat... I'm just so excited and so hopeful. I'm so so so ready for this baby.

Still wanna eat everything in sight. For example today I had a bagel for breakfast, soup and salad for lunch, a cheeseburger and a bag of chips or afternoon snack (?), and now I'm super looking forward to a box of mac and cheese and some strawberries for dinner. I might gain 50 lbs this pregnancy and have the fattest face you've ever seen... but I'm just gonna roll with it.

Okay I think that's basically everything. I'll be back next week with another update, hopefully. :)
