4 Weeks

Well, I'm 4 weeks...so far my symptoms haven't really changed. I am still exhausted and a little weak if I don't eat every 3-4 hours. However, no morning sickness yet. I hear it's definitely not JUST a "morning" thing, so hopefully I won't have much of that! Oh, one thing that HAS changed would be my sense of smell. I smell EVERYTHING. The other night, a man walked past me and his cologne was SO strong that I just about coughed up a lung. Yuck. But the fact that I haven't been running to the bathroom sick is the one thing I'm thankful for...I can deal with the smells....at least for now. I hear that the strong smells are eventually what MAKE YOU SICK. Great. My husband says i'm becoming "curvier" which is fine because my baby is worth it. I wouldn't call it curvy though...I would call it bloated and I actually have a chest now haha. But all this bloating going on....when most don't know I'm pregnant is annoying. I can't wait to actually have a bump...my friend Melissa said that for weeks people would just stare at her with a questionable look wondering if she was or wasn't pregnant. Well, yes......I'm pregnant. And, no...you can't tell. Yet. :) Michael has been hanging up Christmas lights like crazy around our rental house. It looks great and I'm so thankful for him! I can't wait to see what he will do when we decorate the baby room (even though he says I'm in charge of that) haha. December 14 is our first prenatal appointment and ultrasound. I am so thrilled. I can't wait to see the tiny flicker of a heartbeat! Michael and I plan on telling more family members the good news over Christmas! We can't wait to see their faces...
