4 Weeks

This is what I look like at 4 weeks. I'm nowhere near as skinny as I used to be (thanks, PCOS) but my belly is still pretty flat. There won't be a baby bump for quite some time, but it's fun to document the changes every week of pregnancy. So, here's my 4 week belly shot:

Also, I've seen this set of questions in other blogs, so I'm going to use it for mine each week.



How far along? 4 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Down a couple pounds because I'm a bundle of nerves right now.

Pregnancy Symptoms: Sore boobs and on and off mild cramping.

Maternity clothes? No need quite yet. But, I don't understand women who resist maternity clothes. Seriously, there are only two times in your life when it is acceptable to wear an elastic waistband- pregnancy and old age. As soon as my pants start to get tight, you better believe I will embrace the elastic :)

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Amazing
Best moment this week: There were so many- getting the positive test, telling Will, getting 9 more positive tests, telling our family, getting confirmation from the doctor.

Movement: Way too early for that.

Food cravings: Grits and sweet tea. You gotta teach 'em young, y'all.

Gender: I have no idea, though I tend to accidentally refer to the baby as "he." The ancient Chinese Gender Chart says girl- haha.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Not having so much to worry about. Seriously, my nerves are out of control.
What I am looking forward to: Our first ultrasound. I'll be so nervous until then.
Milestones: Great first beta #.
