Pregnancy Journal - Week 5

Even though I was not thrilled to learn that I am pregnant again, something in me says I need to document this time so that when I am happy about it, I won't look back and feel like I missed out on anything. So, I'm starting a pregnancy journal. I'm a little busy, so I'll put this weeks "entry" into bullet form:

  • Using an online calculator, I found out that I am 5 Weeks Pregnant and that I am due April 17th, 2014. 
  • Just for kicks, I used a chinese gender predictor and it says, "boy". I don't have a strong feeling one way or the other. Probably a girl though because my other 2 are girls and this seems the same thus far.
  • I am already bloated to the point that my pants are snug, but not really uncomfortable yet.
  • I am tired. I have been having mild nausea and headaches, though the latter two could be from giving up 90% of my daily caffeine intake.
  • I made my first baby doctor appointment today, though I'm already contemplating cancelling and looking for a new OB. I didn't have a great experience the last time around with this doctor, so I'm unsure of whether I want to repeat that.
  • So far we've told my husband's aunt, a friend from the MOMS Club and my bestie. We're planning to tell our families at 9 weeks, though mine may find out a week or two earlier if we see them because I can't hide this degree of bloat.
  • I'm freaking out thinking about the logistics of 3 kids and all the stuff I'll need to buy. I saved all my old baby stuff, but I need/want to get new clothes, a rock 'n play and maybe a new bassinet or at least a new bassinet pad. We'll also need a new crib mattress, etc. etc.
So that's the update... more to come in the future. :-/ Maybe I'll be excited next week??
