5th week reflections...

Against my better judgement, Mike and I chose to tell our parents about the pregnancy.  Given the difficult events last time around, it's best to have as much family support as we can get.

So far my symptoms have been fairly decent.  Other than sore (and rather vuluptous!) breasts and sleepiness, I haven't had much yet.  Here and there a few things will make my stomach curl.  For example, since I cannot stand the sight of melted cheese, the young lady eating lunch with me at school this week caused a bit of a rumble in my tummy.  It was grilled cheese day at school and she chose to open her sandwich and LICK the cheese out.  UGH.

I've had some very dull and achy cramping today.  It's very difficult to assure myself that this is normal.  The bloggers on thebump.com have done a great job of reassuring me that this is okay.  After the severe cramping and miscarriage in 2010, I apparently suffer from extreme paranoia now.

I've become accustomed to my daily coffee and figured that I would now need to switch to decaf.  When I made myself a cup at home this weekend, it tasted terrible!  How sad will it be if I cannot stand coffee for the next eight months?

According to my due date predictor calendar, I am looking at a possible due date of August 14th.  Right in the middle of two-a-days for Mike.  Won't he just be thrilled :)

What a great holdiay present this little gummy bear is turning out to be.  Our first appointment is on the 26th and I cannot wait!!!
