How far along: 4 weeks

Gender: Unknown

Weight gain: 0 lb. 

Maternity clothes: None yet.  I did order a shirt so that I can use it in all of my weekly photos that will work through the entire pregnancy and a dress from lularoe that has so much give I am sure it will work for the remaining 8 months. May be stocking up on those. 

Baby related purchases: Ordered a Soy Eco-Friendly candle since my nifty app enlightened me that wall plugs and normal candles are not good to have in the house during pregnancy due to the chemicals they release. The dress and shirt as previously stated. We also bought countdowns that say "XX days until I am promoted to. ____" for Brian's Dad and Sister and My dad to announce the pregnancy to them and a towel for my sister that says "BEST AUNT EVER".

Baby Gifts: Nikki sent us a baby belly book for me to track each trimester. So thoughtful. My sister, who didn't even know yet, handed down a baby food maker. No pressure. 

Sleep: I sleep like a rock. The problem is I never want to get up. I am very tired/exhausted and am yawning as I type this. Sleep is my favorite thing right now.

Best moment this week: Finding out we were expecting! We've known since Sunday and I am sure this could be the best thing of the week and the month!! 

Worst moment this week: 1.) The tiredness.. Ohhhhh, the tiredness. And 2.) not being able to tell everyone yet. I am so excited and eager, I just want to scream it from the rooftops. Well, maybe not the rooftops. heights aren't my thing. 

Miss anything: Beer. Summertime evening beer and lunchmeat.

Movement: Besides the flips my stomach does at the smell of baked beans, nada.

Cravings: Juicy juice.

Queasy or sick: Only thanks to certain smells: cigars, baked beans, and whatever they were cooking in the cafeteria downstairs Monday morning. 

Looking forward to: Telling our families this weekend and July 2nd! First baby appointment! 

Symptoms: Hotter than usual. I am a typically cold person, but the hot flashes have been real. And random. Thirst and frequent peeing. I am constantly thirsty, but I always have to pee. it's a vicious cycle I tell ya. I have NEVER woken in the middle of the night to pee. Three times this week. THREE! A few blemishes on my chest which I am not usually a girl with breakouts. hoping this is temporary. And the previously discusses tiredness.
