Week 5

5 weeks came and went. No extreme nausea to speak of. Mostly just ate. Hungry all the time. Intense need for protein and salty/sour snacks. Can’t tell you how many times my tongue has been raw from eating those salt and vinegar chips (salted myself as well) and anything else similar that I could find. And then, I started growing. Almost immediately I could tell a difference. Not a week after I found out about the pregnancy, I had to wear maternity pants. And then those were too small. So I bought bigger and bigger.
And now, I can barely fit into those. I don’t know what’s going on. I know that I’m eating well and other than being absolutely horribly exhausted at all hours of the day, nothing super spectacular.

I think I’ve felt movement. Sometimes I’m absolutely sure. Usually after a meal or a sour drink (think juice), and I’m sitting or lying still, I’m almost positive I can feel stuff moving around. A lot. It isn’t just in one place and it isn’t gas. ( I went through that in the very beginning. HORRIBLY! - but it’s pretty much gone now, just other movements)
At about 5 ½ weeks we started telling people- Joe’s mother, best friend K., and etc. Everyone seems to be ecstatic and super excited and due to the fact that Joe has twins in his family history, as well as that I have grown so damn much in such a short time (yes, I am aware that I have been pregnant numerous times before and have had 2 live births so growth is expected earlier)…but this much??? Really? Shit. Sarah is about 5-6 weeks ahead of me and I am larger.

Who knows?
