Hidden Hiller Chronicles: Week Five


How far along: Five weeks as of November 13, 2013.
Size of baby: Sesame seed!
Maternity Clothes: Not yet, although I don't think I will last nearly as long this time as I did with Henry.
Movement: Nothing yet.
Sex of baby: I have a gut feeling Lima Bean is a girl.  Right before I found out I was pregnant, I found a ladybug in our family room.  I had never seen a ladybug in the house before, nor have I seen one since.  I immediately thought to myself that maybe this little creature was a sign that I was pregnant and the baby was a girl!  I put it outside to explore our yard.  Who knows if the little ladybug was actually a sign--we'll find out in about 15 weeks!
Sleep: Fine.  I am already feeling a bit of fatigue, although less than I felt with Henry at this time.
What I miss: Nothing really this week.
Cravings: Spaghetti with tomato sauce and turkey.  We went to a diner this week with Mark's family and I ordered pasta with turkey meatballs.  Yum!
Symptoms: Some fatigue, but not too bad.  The nausea has subsided.  Still have a very sensitive sense of smell.
What I'm looking forward to: Seeing the baby for the first time in a few weeks!

Other notables: I had blood work done this week to confirm the pregnancy.  After our scare last week, it was very nice to get a positive blood test.
