It feels like I'm waiting for everything right now!
I'm waiting to have my first ultrasound and hear my little Nugget's heartbeat.
I'm waiting to tell all of our friends and family (minus a few select secret keepers!) our good news
I'm waiting to start feeling morning sickness...okay, "waiting" isn't the best term. But I know it's coming soon, so every morning I wake up expecting to feel sick and I'm waiting for the day it happens.
This part of the pregnancy is mentally trying! I just want to see Nugget and hear his/her heartbeat so that we can start telling the good news to all of our friends, and I can stop saving all of these posts as drafts and actually publish them. The worst part is we haven't told our sisters yet, and I feel like I might explode not telling them!
Nothing much has changed in terms of symptoms. Still no morning sickness, but I'm finding if I eat too much I get nauseous. Still can't eat eggs. Still eating Tums like it's candy and getting up three or four times a night to pee (probably TMI lol). I just want to shout to the world that our family is starting and we have a little Nugget joining us in April!

Allergies, or is Baby K already trolling me...
My little Nugget is quite the troll and he isn't even here yet.
I've always had acid reflux issues, and Tums are my BFF. But the heartburn I have had since finding out I was preggers makes my acid reflux look like the hiccups. That, combined with the feeling like I need to take naps at the most random times, and the allergies that make it almost impossible to be outside, and I feel like my body is turning on me.
I'm not complaining, trust me. I knew coming into this that these kinds of symptoms were commonplace for pregnancy and with how much we've wanted to start our family, I knew I was asking for this kind of stuff. But I didn't realize how much my body would change with little things like this, or how quickly it would all happen.
I'm at five weeks, and I can already tell there's some ch-ch-ch-chaaanges (sing it!) going on. Like the fact that all of a sudden, I can't eat regular-sized meals like I could 2 weeks ago. For example, we had steak for dinner last night, along with mashed potatoes and cantaloupe. Two weeks ago, I could have easily eaten the majority of my steak, all of my potatoes, and some melon without any problems. Last night? A third (maybe) of my steak, half my potatoes, and 3 small pieces of melon. What the heck, Nugget, shouldn't you be hungry if you're going through a major growth spurt right now, especially for one of my favorite foods?! And even after just that small portion of food, I felt bloated. But you better believe about an hour later I could tell I was hungry again. It's so weird; my body has never been like that, but I guess it's all part of the mommyhood territory. Sometimes, I can't tell if I'm hungry or mildly nauseous, although I have to be thankful that I haven't experienced morning sickness yet (knocking on the wooden desk in the office as we speak!). And I learned that scrambled eggs are a major no-go for me right now.
It's weird that two weeks ago, none of this was an issue. I could eat normal, had my usual heartburn symptoms, and rarely felt bloated or nauseous. In the matter of two weeks of Nugget growing, though, it's like my body has done a complete 180 and I don't even know it anymore. It's weird. And I know there's still more changes to come, but it's kind of like these little changes make the fact that I'm actually pregnant feel so much more real... and that I definitely don't mind :)
