5 weeks

Today I am 5 weeks pregnant. Baby is the size of an appleseed and looks something like this:




Or, is it this???? :)

Only TWO more days until our u/s so that we can find out if we really are having twins. I am really feeling like we are and have even caught myself referring to the babies rather than just "the baby". I don't know what it really is that makes me feel like it's twins, but I've just had a feeling about it even before I got the results from my bloodwork when the nurse told me that my HCG levels could indicate more than one baby. We will be happy either way as long as this pregnancy is healthy. Of course that is our main concern right now, but I am still dying to know if there is more than one in there!!

So far I am feeling pretty good this pregnancy. I've had some general queasiness, but I haven't been throwing up, so let's hope it stays that way. The biggest thing I've been dealing with is just the exhaustion. I am SO tired by the end of the day, that I could probably fall asleep by 7:30 or 8:00 every night. Oh, and I'm definitely starting to get some bloat. I took my first "belly pic" today since I was sporting some serious bloat by the end of the day. Even though the belly is all bloat and no baby right now, I still decided that I'd take some pics early on, just for comparison sake.

Here is today's pic:

My stomach does look significantly flatter in the mornings, but I still can't believe how much the bloat makes it look like I actually have a belly. I'm thinking that it's going to be uncomfortable to wear my regular, non-maternity clothes soon. We'll see how long I last before I break out some maternity pants. :)
