Bumpdate: Week 5



How Far along: 5 weeks

Baby's size: An apple seed! So incredible to think that BS quadrupled in size in a week!

Weight loss/gain: Lost about 3 lbs, I've been working out normally, and plan to continue unless the OB says otherwise!

Sleep:  I have so tried to get to bed early, and it never happens!  I wake up every other morning or so early to pee.

Gender:  Only the Lord knows! 

Movement:  Not yet, but can't wait until I feel that!

Best Moment of this week:  Still just reveling in the fact we made a baby!  So hard to believe after waiting for so long! (And yes, I realize so many people have to wait much longer.)

Looking Forward to: My first Dr.'s appt, (more on that in a second) and telling some of our friends!

Food cravings:  Nothing so far.

Weirdest Food I ate last week: Nothing I can think of.

Anything making you feel sick or queasy:  Just if I haven't had food in a little bit.  Even then, I don't feel too bad.

Symptoms:  Sore chest and cramping. (I've been assured over and over again it's normal, I was just so surprised by it, because nobody ever mentioned cramping with pregnancy!  Who knew?)

Workouts: Elliptical on Monday and walked on treadmill Thursday!  

What I miss:  Not a thing!  I can't complain!

Things that stink: Having to keep this secret! My Dr. Appt got canceled Tuesday because her child was sick, and I was so upset.  I called back to reschedule for the next day, and they asked about my insurance card.  I didn't have it yet, so I emailed the person at the school corp. and she told me my coverage didn't start until October 1! What the what?!  Cue an emotional meltdown in my little office.  They told me at my orientation that insurance kicked in September 1.  If I went while on my mom's insurance, (which I'm on until October now, apparently....ugh!) it would be out of network and cost a lot... so long story short, I am going to the Dr. October 2. (Not going on Wednesday, since Zach wouldn't be able to make it.)  I'll be 7 weeks, so maybe they'll even do an ultrasound! Fingers crossed!  The waiting just might kill me.  2 whole weeks! : /

Things that don't stink: How sweet Zach is being.  It's just adorable!  Eating what I want! (I promise it's nothing crazy or overdoing it, though!)

Mama's Thoughts: I pray multiple times a day that peanut is doing well inside of me, and still can't believe anyone is in there!  I worry with some of symptoms, but am just trusting the Lord that has our sweet baby in his hands and is knitting them together in my womb!

Daddy's Thoughts: Zach likes to touch my belly each night and tell BS goodnight and then we pray for him/her.  He also will just say the sweetest things all the time.  He is the best!

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!
