Week 5, Day 2

Good Morning! I am 5 weeks and 2 days today. I have bypassed the point at which I miscarried last time, so I'm pretty happy about that. It makes everything seem more real! I'm so excited and scared this time around. When I was pregnant with Hailee, I was more excited than anything else. Now I just worry how everything is going to work out. I do remember that as I got further along with Hailee, any type of fear I had in my mind seemed to diminish. It's amazing how your mind prepares for a baby. I know that once the baby takes the shape of an actual baby, I will feel more connected with it. When I start feeling it move, and sharing that with Hailee, things will feel more natural. Even when I go in to hear the heartbeat and see the bean move around, it's going to feel more real.

I think right now, a lot of my uneasiness is due to my curiousity of if there are twins in my belly. Once I get it confirmed that there is just one little munchkin, I will be relieved. Lets hope there's just one! Haha. I have good chances of twins, and that's why I'm concerned. My mom is a twin, and my dad's mom is a twin. My sister became pregnant with twins last year. So I'd say my chances are good! I've been researching if there is any difference in a twin pregnancy vs a singleton pregnancy in the beginning of the pregnancy, and really some have said there is no difference at the point in which I am at..and others have said it's worse. So that helps me none! We will just have to wait and see!

My symptoms are minimal right now. I'm not going to claim the safe road yet, tho. I know I am really early, and I didn't start feeling nauseous with Hailee until week 8 or so. I am expecting my symptoms to worsen by then. And if they don't, lucky me! :p

I took naps both Saturday and Sunday, this past weekend! And I was still ready for bed by 8. That's how exhausted I am. I have been minimizing my caffeine intake, also, so I'm sure that doesn't help my alertness. Breasts still sore. Skin is looking good! Water retention. Other than that, everything is going well for us!
