Well today I am 5 weeks pregnant!! Each week of this pregnancy is a blessing and I'm going to celebrate it. I feel pretty good although I do have my bad days. Last week I had no appetite and therefore I was pretty tired and weak. Now by the afternoon I want to fall asleep at my desk but the mornings are pretty good. I do however have some cravings starting!! No sweets at all so I guess that's a good thing. I am however going on my 3rd day of salad, baked potato and steak. My body is craving greens and meat!! I'm finding it hard to eat in the morning cause the cereal is way to sweet, it's so weird, but by lunch time I would kill for a steak, no chicken please!!
I have some cramps here and there but they aren't really cramps, just some pulling and pinching here and there. Now my boobs still hurt and there are huge blue veins running down my chest! All in all I feel pregnant and have gagged a few times but not as much now that I'm getting lots of protein. I am expecting this all the change in a week and be puking in the toilet so time will tell!
My first ultrasound is in a week. I really don't know if I'm having 1 or 2. My numbers were higher then some and then a lot lower then others so I think my lil rugrat(s) are keeping it a secret. It's been hard not having anymore betas after last Saturday. Your mind starts to play tricks on you. If I quite my mind and listen to my soul I know all is well and as it should be. This is where you have to let go, trust and believe in the unknown....

Shannon- i am so very happy for you!! Your journal entry reminds me of everything i was feeling and craving at 5 weeks. In fact, they were the same things...hmmmm, maybe a boy? That's what we are having. Any how, take good care of yourself and enjoy every minute (as i know you are). You have a beautiful miracle(s) growing within you. I know things will go well for you. Keep the updates coming and congrats on 5 weeks.

I am not much for the gender myths based on what you eat. In my 1st trimester I felt so horrible if I ate anything but protein (& like you steak was my preference). My ms would only be REALLY bad if I didn't have something in my tummy all of the time & I mean ALL of the time. I love your positive attitude about it all....it will get your thru hun & before you know it you will be seeing how many beans you have in there baking!!!! Have yourself a wonderful weekend & eat lots of steak : )

Trust your instincts Shannon...things are going well with your baby(ies). I always craved protein with all of mine...which is good since you need lots of protein when you're pg. Looking forward to hearing about your U/S.

At 5 - 7 weeks I was totally craving salad. Now I want ginger ale.

too funny because after reading your journal, I felt the same way and I'm having a boy. It will be interesting to see if you are having one or two.
