How far along: 5 weeks and 4 days
Total weight gain: nothing (currently 132 lbs)
Maternity clothes: None. Although I bought some for Black Friday from Old Navy. My husband laughed at me...I guess I knew I would need summer Maternity clothes :)
Stretch marks: Not from pregnancy, I've had them as long as I can remember. When I was 13 my best guy friend was sure to tease me about them. 
Sleep: Last week, I didn't get much of any sleep but now I've been sleeping pretty good. I sleep with two pillows under my head (before preg, I had to sleep on a flat pillow and now my pillows must be fluffy), one under my back (or stomach), one on each side of me, and one in between my legs. I use the pillows because I had sever lower back pain last week and I could not get any sleep. Now I'm sleeping like a baby. 
Best moment of this week: On Sunday, our Pastor mentioned that he's been hearing good news all week and there's just somethings I just cant speak on. (My husband and I smiled and looked at each other knowing that he was talking about us, but also knowing that the congregation didn't know that he was talking about us)
Miss anything: Um...not really
Movement: Yea right...I wish
Food cravings: None. But hubby craved some "cottage cheese". Weird right!?!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Yesterday at church was the first time I felt queasy. I stood outside to get some fresh air. Luckily, I didn't vomit. My first lady made me some pancakes and a breakfast sausage and she told me to make sure I keep food in my stomach at all times. 
Have you started to show yet: Nope, just my usual pouch. 
Gender: We are debating...or maybe I should say I'm debating on whether or not I want to find out what we are having.
Labor signs: Oh no!
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: "You've been acting yourself...which is very moody...you've been mean to me...hecka mean to me"- says my hubby
Looking forward to: 18 more days until our first doctor's appointment. And we will get to see the baby on the ultrasound...I'm looking forward because then I will know baby is doing ok. And once we receive that confirmation, then we will share the news with our parents.
