4 Weeks

Still cannot believe we are pregnant! Got my levels rechecked today and I am happy to report that they are exactly where they need to be...actually they even said they were a little higher than they expected!:) I scheduled my first doctor's appointment/ultrasound for Wednesday, February 15th. I can't wait to see our little baby.

I am going to start doing weekly updates. I am using this blog as my pregnancy journal to record as much as I can to look back on one day!:)
How far along? 4 weeks.

Total weight gain: Nothing yet....but with the bloating I am feeling a little pouch!:)

Symptoms: TIRED, hungry ALL THE TIME and super moody and crampy!:)

Maternity clothes? Not yet, but good-bye super tight skinny jeans...those days are gone!

Sleep: I am either sleeping up a storm or having major cases of insomnia, which I have never dealt with before and I would rather not be up at 4am ready to start my day thankyouverymuch!:)

Best moment of this week: Getting the news that my blood work was perfect and right where it should be.

Food cravings: Anything that doesn't eat me first.

What I miss: Caffeine, specifically TIM HORTON'S ICED CAPPUCCINO'S!!!!

What I am looking forward to: Our first doctor's appointment.
What the bump is looking like at 4 weeks:

your baby's the size of a poppyseed!

At 4 weeks, your baby, now known as a blastocyst, is practically microscopic -- a teeny ball of cells. She's busy settling into her new home (your uterus), prepping for all the crucial development she'll be doing over the next six weeks.

 

your baby at 4 weeks

• The ball of cells is splitting into the embryo (your future child) and placenta.
• Baby's neural tube, the building block of his spine, brain and backbone, is already formed.
• The amniotic sac and fluid are forming into protective cushioning for your baby.
•
