Hello 5 weeks!

So, ” At this point, he/she is about the size of a sesame seed, and he/she looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He’s now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues.” Talk about growing fast! Did you know that by the end of this week, the heart will be finished forming. How miraculous and wonderful!

How am I feeling?

Well, I’m bloated (which I cringe at in the above picture). I’m tired and this week, nothing sounds good to eat. I have definitely had some nausea spells but luckily I haven’t actually vomited. (Gross, I know). Yoga pants are my best friend and I’ve had a few weird cravings such as raw tomatoes (which I’m not normally a fan of) and a pretty consistent craving of cheese.

The reality of being a mom is slowly sinking in. Life will drastically change in 9 months but I am SO excited. I have already had a confirmation appointment with my OB who confidently told me yes, the test didn’t lie, I am pregnant and then proceeded to answer all of my random and “ohmygoodness I’m actually pregnant” questions. I return with Patrick for the first ultrasound on February 13th. I’m not going to lie, I have a countdown on my phone! 16 more days until we hear Baby T’s heartbeat and get our first picture of him/her!

OH and I’m writing all of this while this blog is still private. I think we will wait until after the ultrasound to tell the wonderful world of Facebook which is where I’ll be posting my updates.
