5w0d

That stands for 5 weeks 0 days, as in that's how far along our little one is! I put a ticker on the right side of the blog - may have to update it, but for now that's where we are. Looks like a tadpole/alien right now! But, you can se where the head is, and where the arms and legs are going. So, it's kinda cool. I saw it on another IF "bumpie" blog ("dish baby" - thanks kim!). I liked it, so I added it to mine.

At 5 weeks, not a whole lot is new yet. Still have the reflux. Still have the gas. I'm not constipated *yet* but I can tell that things are slowing down. I've increased my water in take. I didn't mean too, but it just happened. I was drinking about 5-6 big glasses of water a day before, and now I'm up to 8 big glasses of water. I feel much more bloated than I did before. I feel like my pants are tight already (still wearable, just snugger), but I know it's just bloat (THANK YOU INFERTILITY DRUGS). Could be some water bloat too, cause I'm drinking alot more. Could be that I'm just much more into that region of my body too. :) I dunno. Still tired alot. I woke up 30 mintues ago from a 9 solid hour sleep and I'm still yawning. Also, my boobs ARE HUGE! Already! It's bizarre. I know they didn't get this big this quick last time. I do remember looking at new bras around 6 weeks. But not at 5! I'm really spilling out of my bra. Seriously. I'm going to try and go a little longer without a new one...

Oh, and the dreams have started. I don't remember them starting this early last time, but they're back. This is one of my least favorite "side effects" of pregnancy. I don't dream much, so it kinda gets on my nerves a bit that I dream all the time now when I sleep. Oh well. If that's what it takes to get my little one here, then I'll deal. :)

In other news, DH found a cat at the ballpark a week ago or so. She's calico and so sweet (you know I have a special place in my heart for calicos!). She's not even a year old. I'm guessing 6-8 months. Her personality is much like Founder's (my almost 18 year old calico); wants to be rubbed constantly, very easy going. I REALLY wish we could keep her, but 3 cats in the house is a bit much, and I don't think Lucky (my 4 year old) would like it very much. So, I'm going to try to find a no-kill shelter to take her too. She's TOO sweet to go anywhere else.

Anyone want a sweet sweet cute little kitty?
