5 Weeks


Well, I finally started feeling sick. Bummer...but our ultrasound is in a week and a half, so that is something to look forward to! Yeah, "morning sickness" is so not MORNING ONLY sickness. Last night at work I had to continuously eat every 1-2 hours in order to keep my stomach from churning. I haven't thrown up yet, so that's a plus! That is my only new symptom. I don't feel as tired this week, which is a blessing. Work has been SO stressful lately. However, I just accepted an offer from a company in Franklin that is a day-shift position :) What a blessing that it came at this time. Starting January, I won't be on my feet all day, and I will be able to have more time with my husband. I am very excited! Although, I am very sad to leave my girls at Baptist. The Lord really has given me peace about the decision to leave, though. I just know this new schedule will be better for me and my baby! Still...hardly a difference in my tummy. Just very bloated! Baby Wade is the size of an appleseed!



What I'm Been Experiencing This Week:

  • Bloating
  • Sore Chest (Hard to sleep on tummy)
  • Nausea
  • Heartburn
Facts About Baby This Week:
  • Your embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of hCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests)... which triggers production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone... which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!
