Symptoms: Dizziness, back pain (is that even possible already???), slight bloody noses, the C-word
Body changes: I definitely looked knocked-up all the time. There is no hiding it with any clothes. Boobs are still bigger, but don’t seem to be growing anymore.
Cravings: Still cereal with skim milk — I’m like Jerry Seinfeld. Oh, and the original hash-browns-with-ketchup craving has come back in full-force — only ate them once this week (yesterday), but they were like ambrosia!
Could not stomach: Made huge process and began eating chicken (and mayonaise) again. And hard-boiled eggs. Go, Team Protein!
High point: Announcing my pregnancy on my “real-life” Facebook and Twitter to … well, everyone who didn’t already know! I got some very sweet congratulations messages and well-wishes — and some people were really surprised! That was great. This is such a fun thing to tell people!
Low point: This has been a really good week, but the low point would have to be the C-word. Not fun!
Paranoid moment of the week: Whenever I felt the twinge of a cramp, I would be concerned it was Little Baby in distress — when actually, it was C-word-related. Uterus, intestines, pffft. I really must get an anatomy book so I can better identify where all of my innards are.
Weird moment of the week: Pregnancy brain has struck! I forgot how to spell “inevitable” for a solid five minutes. I never forget how to spell anything. Weird, weird, weird!

“Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.”
— Elizabeth Stone
Nope, this isn’t a post about peeing — although it could be, considering I pee nightly at 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. Like clockwork.
