Whew!

Dear baby bean,

I can't believe you are actually growing inside me right now. For the past three days, I've been running on pure adrenaline. Knowing that you are growing inside me makes me feel a lot better about some of the symptoms I've been having. I have been so so so so tired. Not just normal tired but exhausted. I haven't had any nausea yet and I'll keep crossing my fingers on that one.

I am now 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. According to my "Baby Bump" app (that I bought on my phone immediately after I found out), you are the size of an appleseed. Your little brain and spinal cord are beginning to develop and you are very fragile.

It's hard to believe that something as tiny as an appleseed can make me feel this tired! I made my first doctor's appointment for December 7th. I can't wait!! I hope we get to see you!

I was in a good mood today and had a good appetite. I hope that the mood swings don't hit me. I had the worst headache at 2:30 this morning. Usually I would take some Aleve and go back to bed. I knew that I shouldn't take anything until I see the doctor so I toughed it out.

I am so very excited to meet you but I want you to keep cooking as long as you can!

Love,
Mommy
