How far along: 5 weeks
How big is baby:
your baby's the size of an appleseed!
Your embryo is now measurable -- though it's a wee .13 inches -- and she's gearing up for much more growth. In fact, in the next week, she'll almost double in size. Grow baby grow!
Sleep: Pregnancy isn't the problem. Katie is. She is still pooping in the middle of the night (between 2 and 4 am) and it's waking her up. So that's when I get up. And DH wonders why I fall asleep most nights on the couch before 9!
Best moment of the week: Getting my beta numbers. 68 on Aug. 24 and over 280 on Aug. 26.
Food cravings: Nothing unusual.
Food aversions: I had some issues this weekend making Sausage Stars. I had to have DH mix the mayo and ranch in because the smell was getting to me.
Symptoms: Passing nausea that can usually be handled with a snack, or hard candy (Jolly Ranchers).
Movement: Not even close!
Gender: Currently I have no idea. A girl would be better because we wouldn't have to buy much in terms of clothing but DH and I would love to have a boy.
What I'm looking forward to: Coffee with caffeine. I miss caffeine. I might have to get a small Starbucks later this week.
What I miss: See previous.
Next appointment: September 26th. I'll get an u/s just to make sure everything is ok in there. I'll be 9 weeks exactly so DH and I should get to see some good stuff in there!
