Yay! Another week! Very exciting. I love Wednesdays. I wake up every Wednesday knowing I hit another milestone. :) Morning sickness is getting worse. I usually wake up with just a slight hint of nausea, but nothing too severe. It gradually gets worse until about 11am where it hits full force and I have to do everything in my power not to vomit. Then around 2pm I usually start to feel a little better. Last night, I felt the worst between 4pm-7pm, though. I got home from work and immediately laid in bed and cuddled my favorite blanket. Still somehow forcing myself to eat. Most things don't sound good to me at all, so I just eat what everyone else is eating. Cucumbers in a vinaigrette that I make from scratch sits well, and grapes. That's about all I like right now.
My boobs are still the same. Very sore and feel very full and heavy when I wake up. Bloating is the same, but starting to feel more firm and taking a different shape. Cramping is just slight and usually every 2-3 days. I love it though since I know it's my uterus stretching. I've been pretty moody and grouchy, and I sometimes daydream about just going and staying in a hotel by myself for a few weeks. Lol. Still very hard to stay awake all day at work. I do sometimes give in and just lay down on my desk for a few minutes here and there.
My daughters wrote the baby names we have picked out all of the front sidewalk in chalk yesterday. It was very cute. They spelled them wrong, though. For a boy, he picked Kyrin Evan. For a girl, I picked Aleena July. :) One more week until our first prenatal appointment and ultrasound. Very very excited!!!

 | Comment from Tafoyarael5 » Posted Jun. 3, 2015 3:32pm Love the names, I'm trying to enjoy my "almost 6 weeks" but I hear you morning sickness and bloat and exhaustion is making me cranky. Fridays are my happy dance days :) Right now we are calling the baby "blueberry" |
 | Comment from rcorinne » Posted Jun. 3, 2015 2:54pm Fingers crossed that you can keep your meals down. I got pretty moody early on. Not sure if I still am or if I'm just getting used to the emotional instability. Lol! |
 | Comment from Mem401 » Posted Jun. 3, 2015 1:06pm That's so sweet that your girls asked for that! :) The girl name was easy for me, I've had the first name picked out since I was a kid. It was my grandmothers name. |
 | Comment from Kate0406 » Posted Jun. 3, 2015 12:25pm My special days are Thursdays. I'll be so happy to be finally 5 weeks. Enjoy your ultrasound. I wish mine was sooner but i still have until July 24th! |
| Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Jun. 3, 2015 11:40am I couldn't think of a middle name either, so I just suggested using his middle name if we have a boy. The girl was easy. My girls are Kya Mae and Aria June, and they asked me to pick another month for the new baby if it's a girl. Haha! |
| Comment from Mem401 » Posted Jun. 3, 2015 11:30am No secret. Margaret "Maggie" Clare and John "Jack", no middle name yet for boy. :) |
| Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Jun. 3, 2015 11:27am Haha! Guys don't ever remember anything! What are the names you picked? Or are you keeping it a secret? |
