How far along: 5 weeks

Gender: Unknown

Weight gain: 1 lb. 

Maternity clothes: The bloat is real, thank god for belly bands when pants are uncomfortable - they are buttonable, just a little tighter than usual. Other than that, same as last month - 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 Palmer's Tummy Butter to start now preventing stretchmarks! 

Baby Gifts: Belly bands and a baby tub from my sister. Father's day cards from myself and the dogs and also Brian's mom. Very sweet.  

Sleep: Sleeping great, but having to get up in the middle of the night to pee - other than that 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: Telling our families we are expecting. The best reactions were my sister and his mom. Though I think everyone was a little surprised. Being able to tell family and friends is a great feeling.

Worst moment this week: Aside from sleepy, I am feeling GREAT!

Miss anything: Beer. Had a cookout Saturday and a beer sounded so good.

Movement: Nada.

Cravings: Salad (especially with thousand island dressing) and Cookies. Why it couldn't just be salad? Beats me. 

Queasy or sick: If I don't eat enough healthy foods I can get an uneasy stomach at night, but not too bad or often. 

Looking forward to: Making sure our closest friends know.  

Symptoms: Thirst and frequent peeing. Exhaustion. Minor moodiness. When I feel myself getting irritated and normal things, I feel like I could cry. Only happened twice. Hoping it's a fluke!
