4 weeks - early but feeling it!

This is my first journal entry on this site! I was almost too scared to write anything before today because getting a BFP at 9DPO just made me worried it would turn out to be chemical. Luckily, those little lines have been getting darker ever since (yes, I'm a POAS addict hehe) and I feel a little bit better about saying that I am in fact PREGNANT! :)
Since I got my BFP, I've been noticing little things. I wondered if some of it was in my head, but I know for sure some of it is definitely real. Here's what I've felt so far:
- Super sore nipples: definitely not kidding that they will get sore, whew!
- Tender boobs: it's not too bad, but I've noticed they are a bit fuller and more tender
- Mild cramps/pressure: This comes and goes. I will say this morning I felt like I'd done about 100 sit ups, but of course haven't done one lol.
- Bleeding gums: This is a totally new thing for me and may be what really made me think that it's true, I'm really pregnant. I only noticed when I brushed my teeth this morning and it totally caught me by surprise!
- Heartburn: Just a little bit, and I've noticed it in the early afternoon. This is the third day, and it's a little bit worse each day. At first I thought I was just wishing symptoms upon myself, but I know what heartburn is and yup - it's here!
- Strange appetite: I can normally eat all the time, but lately I've had just a weird appetite. I've noticed most cheeses, which I usually LOVE, taste sour to me. I'm not really that hungry, and when I get hungry, I eat a little bit then I feel full/almost nauseous. Even my good friend says she's never seen me be this picky or eat so slowly lol.
As uncomfortable as I've been lately, I honestly don't mind it. It's just a little reassurance that I'm pregnant and my body is working super hard. Just keeping my fingers crossed that everything keeps going well and I make it to my 8 week appointment without stressing too much. :)
