I am Five Weeks!

So nothing to exciting is going on this week. I am five weeks and four days today. It seems like so much longer than 5 weeks! I ordered some books from Amazon which finally came in yesterday. I ordered "The Expectant Father" for Andrew and I got "What to Expect: Eating well while you are Expecting". I have been curious about what exactly it is that I should be eating and how I am suppose to get all of the food families and servings in. So I thought I would check it out. It is pretty interesting...but also very overwhelming! I do not know how I am ever going to get in all of the protein, dairy, and everything else that they want you to! But I am going to take it one step at a time and for now just try to get some more protein and dairy into my diet because those are the most important things.


I got a pregnancy journal ("The Belly Book") for me to record the different things that are going on each week. It even has places for me to put pictures of my belly each week and asks about nausea and food aversions and when you finally had to give it up and put on those first pairs of maternity pants! It is really cute! The plan as far as maternity clothes go is to get a belly band and stay in my pants as long as I can possibly stand it. In case you don't know, belly bands are these things you put over your unbuttoned pants that look like an undershirt that allow for to wear your pants longer. This way no one knows you are busting out of your pants and unable to zip them! I have not noticed any belly changes yet but, it is still early! I am looking forward to when I finally get a bump!

I am a little nervous and excited for next week because it is spring break but also because it will be my sixth week! They say that if you are going to get morning sickness this is the week is is probably going to happen so you can see why I might be a little nervous! But the good thing is that if it does happen I will be at home and will not have to be miserable at work! So I guess we will just have to wait and find out.
