I had a very lovely day today, we went up to Connecticut with the family for a cookout. I have a really nice night, I have realized that sleeping on my stomach has caused my cramps during the night. I have tried very hard to force myself during the night not to lay on my stomach. I can still lay on my back without getting cramps but the stomach forget it. So I didnt wake up once with cramps.

I have very minimal cramps today maybe just a handful and I think I got them more because I was feeling hungry. I took naps in the car and we came home super late. I love it when I told my MIL that I didnt want anyone to know other than the immediate family that we have already told and she was the first to blurt out yesterday that I was pregnant.

I had no energy to do anything this morning, I woke up around 10:30 which is something that hasnt happened since I found out I was pregnant. My appetite has diminished, really dont care about eating as much. I feel extra bloated. The cramps were very mild today....

So the trick at night is I cant sleep on my stomach thats when I get the cramps during the night. So for the past couple of nights I have had a great night sleep. I was more emotional today than I have been.

This morning I feel like pure ***. I woke up this morning to get ready for work, had my bowl of cereal and I start to feel very gassy. So im like great, I have to go to work and be gassy. but then I feel my stomach start to feel like I might just be having the runs. Which Im like what the hell I have been nothing but constipated at home and now on my way to work want to have the runs, knowing I wont use the bathroom. So one of the ladies told me to go downstairs at a more private bathroom where only like 2 people use. Of course because Im constipated I only had about a handful, I feel a little bit better, but my stomach still feels a little sour. I think It will be the day I vomit for the first time, Im trying to eat a nutrigrain bar and a glass of orange juice but its just not sitting well. I honestly cant wait to go home and be in the comfort of my own home.

Today I stayed home from work, I still wasnt feeling all that great and didnt feel like being there. I went to be at 8:30 last night from just being exhausted and up all night here and there. I woke up this morning and had some breakfast. Im feeling much better. I havent experience very much cramping. But my breasts are super tender it almost feels like rocks when I lay down. I weighed myself yesterday and i swear I think I've gained like 2 more pounds. I hope it was because I felt stupid bloated. Let me check again. its down 1 pd. from yesterday. I think I weighed 130 before pregnancy and now Im 134. I think 4 pds is to much for almost 6 weeks pregnant. I have no m/s so its not causing me to lose any weight. Im hungry all the time, but I try to eat healthy

I woke up this morning not feeling all that great. I felt like I did Monday except without the runs. I ate my bowl of cereal and headed to work. my stomach was just upset for most of the day. Im wondering if the m/s is starting. if it is, its all day. So I decided to go get some sour candies to see if that helped. I bought Icebreaker drops. It was really good and now the nausea is gone. Im not to fond of the after taste it leaves in my mouth, but its better than feeling like ****. I have barely felt any cramps, probably because the m/s take it away LOL I didnt sleep well last night, kept waking up and tossing and turning. but of course DH sleeps like a rock

I was hungry so I grabbed some grapes, and those didnt sit well in my stomach. I felt like I needed to puke. I get home and i tried to puke but all I got was pure acid. I did feel better. I have to say the m/s has started

5w6d

Yep, m/s has arrived, I thought I was in the clear. I woke up this morning and I went to get a plastic bag from the cabinet and the bread smelled so nasty to me, I started to gag. This starts the nausea. I get to work and go use the bathroom, The bathroom smelled to be like a woman's crotch. Again I start to gag. I have heartburn. I took 2 tums, hopefully this helps. I was so hungry at lunch but then halfway I got super full and couldnt finish my lunch

No cramps, I dont think I have felt one yet. I guess it switched between the cramps to the nausea, Im not sure which one I would prefer.

Im going out to dinner tonight so I will see how well I do.
I went out to olive garden yum yum and I ate my soup and a breadstick and barely ate the fett alfredo. the other day my appetite was like a horse now, Im getting full really quick.

It was really weird, when I got to my friends house her dog came right up to me and started to smell my stomach my friend looked at me and asked me if I was pregnant, It so weird how these dogs sense these things.

At night Im not feeling sick I was extremely tired so I went to bed at 9:30

This morning, I tried very hard not to gag because of course this is what starts the nausea for the rest of the day. I had a hard time sleeping last night, getting up and tossing and turning, just couldnt get comfortable. No nausea today as of yet, I've ate breakfast and now a snack so I dont get super hunger and get nausea. keeping my fingers crossed.

Today I went with my mom to babies R Us to get my sister her baby shower gift. I had at a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. Halfway through shopping I was getting so hungry I felt myself start shaking. Like my sugar level was really low. So my mom asked me if I wanted to have lunch and I said yes, but it wasnt until we were almost home which was another 40 mins. I was getting so nausea from being so hungry. DH husband pissed me off. I asked him to vacuum the house 5 days ago and he didnt so today I take the vaccuum and do it myself. Now that im doing it he wanted to stop what he was doing to do it. Im allset, Im not going to nag either you do it or I'll do it myself. Hopefully it doesnt do any harm to the baby with the heavyness.

I have been feeling really good, Im mean not super but nothing bad. I woke up had breakfast and went to visit my family. I tried to go maternity shopping but it just didnt work, I couldnt find anything I like or that seemed to fit right, so I left with nothing. Super tired at night ready to go to bed at 9, I dont really take naps during the day so by 9 im ready to sleep. I kept tossing and turning. I just couldnt get comfortable. I had spagetti, which I guess didnt work well with my stomach, I was in the bathroom.

Wow I just realized im almost going to be 7 weeks soon, gee is the time flying by. I woke up this morning and had a nice bowl of cereal. I started to get hungry around 9:30 so I had a cup of orange juice and a nutrigrain bar. I almost wish I didnt drink the juice because I feel like Im getting heartburn from the acid. Here goes some tums. No nausea today

I dreamed that I was having a boy!! My first dream was me in the hospital, I dont remember pushing. all I remember was me in the hosptial and the doctor puts the baby on my chest, he was crying and I said its ok mommy's here. and he stopped crying and look up at me. Then another part of my dream. my son was maybe a couple of weeks old, I was feeding him and then I put him to sleep while we were at my grandmother's old apartment.

6w4d

I had a regular day, nothing to really elaborate on. I am anxious about going to the doctor just because I want to make sure everything is ok, I dont feel any symptoms except my tender breast in the morning, but the cramping is gone, the nausea is gone. It just worries me that something is wrong. One more week I cant wait.

6w5d
Nothing much today, except the fact I feel super tired. Its 1:00p.m. and I could just clonk, maybe its because I couldnt sleep well last night, even thought I only got up once to pee rather than 2 times.

Well today, I feel really tired, which is odd because I slept really well last night. I went to bed late since michelle was over but slept like a baby. I feel a little cramp today barely noticable and a little yesterday to. I have some back pain today. I have gain 1 inch on my stomach, I measured it yesterday I feel like Im carrying really high. My belly feel hard. no m/s thank god. unless Im hungry and then I get nausea.

Last night I had such gas pains in my stomach around 3:30 in the morning, TMI but I kept farting all night long. I end up waking this morning with diahrea. I have noticed last night that my areolas are getting darker. almost like a black color. Kind of ugly looking. I went to a wedding last night and DH's cousin was there and come to find out she apparently knows Im pregnant. so now MIL has spread the news to the whole family. gee thanks for busting my moment. I guess someone has to take away my spot light, who better than my MIL It must be very hard to keep a secret. I havent even told my parents yet and she is blabbing away. I cant stand it sometimes.
