Pregnancy Journal

i just lost my entry!! :( i have to retype what i wrote

anyway, i was relieved this morning after having 3 days of sluggish digestive system. thank God for answering my prayer! i felt like 5 month pregnant and my hubby was surprised to see how huge my tummy was! well, he said i look more like 3 months.

anyway, i got my morning sickness on Wed. (11/18) that's 5 weeks and 1day. surprisingly, i started my morning sickness at exactly the same time last time around! my body is just right on the mark! this time is a little better. i haven't thrown up yet!!  i usually feel sick during the day at work. i just have to keep munching on snacks like crackers or sucking on hard candies. keeping myself busy at work helps too. hopefully, it'll go away soon.

i started feeling tired during the day these few days. TGIF, hope i can get to nap while my baby naps this weekend.

so i got what i asked for --- pregnancy symptoms!  

i felt soooooooo bloated last night. i was actually having some nausea at the end of the day at work and i thought i was just tired from the lack of sleep. then before dinner, i had a bowl of soup (fish, tofu, and ginger, which my hubby made for me which was suppose to be good for first tri) after i drank it, i felt sooooo bloated. i still forced myself to eat half an hour later. but i could only eat very little. then i was on the sofa all night. i couldn't even move cuz it hurts. i felt like i was 7 months pregnant. i couldn't play with my boy boy!  he was very sweet and came by and kissed me now and then. well, i fell asleep on the sofa @ 9pm and my hubby woke me up @ 11:30pm to go to bed. i felt better then and no more bloatedness. this morning i felt ok. but i read that night time is the worse for bloatedness.

well, i'm 5 weeks!! yay, it's not 4 anymore. it seems like i have been @ 4 weeks 4-ever!!! 3.5 weeks til my first prenatal.

work has been so tiring. i got to lift heavy stuff.  i was so worried after lifting a heavy stand. and today i breathed in some chemical. i was so worried and called my hubby. well, i read the MSDS and i should be ok cuz it's some kind of detergent. still, i should really be careful and i think i'll bring in some masks just in case.

so i'm back to work after my 5 day weekend! my 3 day staycation was nice, we didn't do much but just hung out and did errands like getting the car fixed, eye appt, dmv appt  for my hubby. we did eat alot and i gained back the 2 lb i lost and then some!!  this morning, i am 1lb heavier than usual! well, i shouldn't worry much since i am pregnant.

well, i still don't have too much pregnancy symptoms and i'm getting anxious! the past week has gone by quite slow. as much as i hate having uncomfortness from pregnancy symptoms, i think i need some reassurance. i'm just having slight cramping now and then. if i stand long, my groin area is quite soar. i get tired too but not sure if it's pregnancy related. like yesterday afternoon, i was sooooo tired and napped on the sofa from 3-4pm. but then at night, i couldn't fall asleep til after 1am and woke up before 7am by ryan's crying... i'm so out of it today. but no naps for me today. well, last time when i was having fatigue, i could nap and still sleep like 9hrs at night. so i guess i'm not having the fatigue yet. it's good but on the other hand, i really don't feel like i'm pregnant. it's so surreal. i wish i could monitor my baby everyday! i guess i might take my 4th HPT before my first prenatal @ 8 weeks. 8 weeks...sigh...when will i be 8 weeks??
