Week 5
So far, so good! The only real symptom of pregnancy I've noticed so far (aside from my missed period, which is always nice) is being extremely emotional. I don't know if this didn't happen to me last time, or if I just didn't realize it was happening, but I don't remember it at all. Here are a few things that have made me cry in the last week:
The movie Trolls
Nick telling me I'm the best mom/incubator ever
Desdemona kissing Nick
Fortunately I don't seem to be crying over sad things. Instead I'm completely FURIOUS about my frustrations instead. I've sent a couple of emails that were definitely more hot-headed than normal, and lain awake fuming at night over various disappointments. To my credit, some of those disappointments would justify us literally suing some unethical contractors, so that fury might not be pregnancy related.
I've told my parents and older sister, still have to tell my younger sister when she gets back to town. I've made my first prenatal appointment for May 8th, at 1pm. I'll be between 8 and 9 weeks by then; hopefully we'll hear a nice strong heartbeat.
I remember last time feeling so sick before my first appt that I hated the policy that they wouldn't schedule until 8+ weeks. I later learned that I should have called, but how's a first time mom to know? I hope hope HOPE that this time, I have no need to call before my appt.
