Baby Schlyper: Week 5

1/25/13

At 5 weeks Baby Schlyper is the size of a sesame seed.

Sleep Schedule: I can't seem to get enough sleep lately.

Clothes: Everything still fits just fine.

Movement:  Too early for any movement. But I'm really looking forward to this in the future.

What I Miss:  Wine! No, seriously. I loved to unwind after work with a glass of red. Now I unwind with a glass of H2O.

Cravings: Almonds and soup. I had the most delicious chicken noodle soup from Whole Foods last week and it's all I can think about. I've already asked Rian to re-create his mom's chicken and dumpling soup for me next week.

Food Aversions:  Nothing yet.

Symptoms: The people at my work must think there's something wrong with me because I'm in the bathroom about once an hour. Thankfully, not barfing (yet?) but just lots of pee breaks. I'm also so exhausted at the end of the day.

Best Moment of the Week:  Getting a call from our doctor telling us that our pregnancy is coming along very well. I mean that and the fact that last week we found out that our baby even existed. That was absolutely (for lack of a better word) incredible.

Looking Forward To: Telling Rian's parents when they come in town this weekend. I think pretty much everyone we tell is going to be genuinely surprised- which makes telling people so much fun. Rian is the oldest of two kids and this will be their first grandchild. How exciting.
