New News!

So..... the reason I have not updated on weight loss and taking the saltwater flush is because I am pregnant! I am technically 5 weeks and 5 days, but I say I'm in my 6th week. We are very excited, very happy, and very nervous. lol. We are nervous because we are wondering how many babies are in there! We are hoping for just one, but of course we will love however many children we may have. Twins run in both of our families, and we know that twins are alot of work, especially for first time parents but we will see. lol

I am going to do weekly updates, I'm going to try to do them every Thursday but we will see.
I've been feeling pretty good so far, so I hope everything stays that way. I go in for my first ultrasound next week, so we will see how many babies are in there and hopefully be able to hear the heartbeat!

I'm also gonna start taking weekly pictures as soon as i find a shirt that i think I will be able to fit throughout my entire pregnancy.

I'm already classified as overweight (according to my BMI) so I really don't want to gain more that 15 pounds this pregnancy. That may not be possible, but I would like to stay as close to that number as possible. I'm eating alot of fruits and salads and of course drinking water. I'm being conscious of my carb intake and since my dance show is over, Ive started going to the gym, walking on the treadmill for an hour and then doing light weights for arms, back, and chest. I actually have been eating less because i get full faster, but i eat more frequently, so I'm working on having healthy snacks for me to grab.

How Far Along? 5 weeks 5 days (but I say I'm in my 6th week)

Symptoms: fatigue, some days I have mild cramps (which I have been told is my uterus stretching), a few headaches, and mild nausea every once in a while
Total Weight Gain: pretty much the same, i fluctuate between losing a pound and gaining a pound (I weigh myself every morning. lol)

Maternity Clothes:  none yet. I am however about to go through my clothes and put away all my tight fitting shirts for a while since I'm kinda bloated and don't want anything tight on my tummy.

Stretch Marks: none yet. I bought Palmer's lotion for stretch marks, but I don't think I like how it smells so  i don't know if I will continue to use that. but I have started oiling up every day.
Sleep: I'm always tired. no matter how much sleep I get. I heard this eases up after the first trimester though.

Food Cravings: I had my first craving this week for spaghetti! The two days I ate it, I was in heaven, but last night i got a little nauseous after eating it, so now I don't want any more AT ALL! now I want a toasted turkey sub from subway with BBQ chips and I'm loving vanilla pudding right now.

Best Moment This Week: Hubby singing to my belly last night

Movement: none yet.
Labor Signs: none! prayerfully not for at least another 34 weeks 

Belly Button In Or Out? In
What I Miss:  nothing yet  

What I Am Looking Forward To: seeing the baby on the ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat

Milestones: Getting pregnant! I've been wanting to start our family for a while, and finally getting hubby on board is an accomplishment. By the grace of God we got pregnant on the first try, so I am continuously praying that this is an uneventful pregnancy that ends with baby(ies) and I being healthy. 

Weekly Wisdom: listen to your body.
