Week 5!

Well, it's been about a week since we found out we were expecting our little tadpole. What a week! We told my mom and sisters right away, because I needed someone to ask advice of and I knew I couldn't keep it quiet around my sisters every day! This weekend we are telling his brother and wife, and I know they will be thrilled! The plan is to tell Matt's parents and my Dad on Thanksgiving. We are (hopefully) buying me a new car next week, and we are going to put a 'baby on board' sign on it, so when we show them the car, TA DA! Baby! :)

I've started to really feel 'pregnant' this week, even though I'm only 5 weeks 2 days at this point. I've started to feel queasy around some foods, and needed to take B6 for nausea. We are still going for our walks most days, although my hips have started to bother me a bit. Isn't it a bit early for this?! I can noticeably see my stomach getting bigger, too! How crazy is that? I haven't gained any weight, in fact I've lost half a pound, but I'm eating as much as I can keep down. I've been incredibly tired in the afternoons, but can't manage to sleep past 6am.

I told my two bosses on Monday, because I could feel myself slowing down, and wanted them to know what the deal was. I plan on waiting to tell the rest of my co-workers after my first appointment on December 4th, but we'll see if Kevin can keep his mouth shut!

Oh, and we started the nursery! We painted one wall blue with yellow stars, and it looks gorgeous. We are waiting to see what we are having to plan out the rest; we think a decal on the opposite wall would be cool. We are both dying to start buying stuff, but I think we are going to try and hold off until X-mas to make any purchases.

So far, I can still focus (a bit) on my schoolwork. I only have one more paper left, and then I can take a break and focus on my minion! :)
