Week 5, Day 1

And she can't get enough grapes....

I'm feeling a bit more "symptomy" these days. The only big surprise is that most of these symptoms happen right smack in the middle of the night! Two nights ago I woke up absolutely starving. Well, truth be told, I woke up because I had to pee - but after being awake I almost couldn't fall back to sleep because I wanted to go the kitchen and cook a four course meal! Embarrassed of what Matt would think should he awaken to me eating in the middle of the night, I fidgeted myself back to sleep.

Last night, again - woke up to pee (lets just say this has been a common occurrence as of late... ) only this time I was so nauseated I questioned whether or not I should get back into bed - afraid I would throw up all over Matt.

During the day though - I feel mostly great. I am so thankful for this! I can make it to the end of the semester... I can! While I don't feel sick during the day I do feel just exhausted...

In the evenings I become 1. highly irritable and 2. b-l-o-a-t-e-d! I feel as if I could crawl out of my skin - or rather, that I desperately want to - but instead am stuck feeling like an elephant.

As a camp counselor we got whole instructions pertaining to kids that would act grumpy and distant solely because their poop schedule gets off at camp. Constipated kids = unhappy kids. Lets just say that pregnancy has given me a more understanding view to their plight.

But in other news, every day I get more excited! Our little bean closely resembles a tad pole (www.babycenter.com).

Aw... our little tad pole.

Before going to bed last night Matt put a stash of cereal by my side of the bed. He said the honey bunches of oats was for his pregnant wife - but he wanted his baby to eat the cheerios (its only fitting...).
