4 weeks!

I will be updating each entry with a photo of me and my bump (non-existent right now) soon. I'm trying to get my husband to paint a chalkboard wall in what will be the nursery so I can take my picture in front of it. Hopefully it will be good to go in a couple of weeks but until then I will just update without my photo. Each week (Sunday) I will update on my progress.

How far along: 4 weeks
Size of baby: a poppy seed
Total weight gain: - 4 lbs
Symptoms: Aches in my back, hips and top of my thighs. Lazy/tired (I can't tell if this is real or I'm just using pregnancy as an excuse to laze around. ;)  And the most annoying thing is my neck/back pain. Again, I'm not sure if it's a pregnancy sign or it's just my pillow sucks, but it kept me up last night.
Food aversions: Nothing so far really, but I have no real appetite and I get full real quickly, hence my weight loss so far.
Cravings: Today I sent my husband out to get me McDonalds breakfast, caesar salad and Smart Food popcorn. Cravings or just me? You decide ;) But I have been really, really wanting a caesar salad for the past couple of days.
Maternity clothes: Not yet, thankfully haha.
Next appt: I have no freakin' clue. My doctor hasn't even got back to me with my blood test result to confirm the pregnancy. I am annoyed with this actually, but it was over a weekend and holiday, so I guess I'll call tomorrow and see what my next steps are.
Boy or girl: No idea! My husband and I were trying to guess today. We're pretty 50/50...shocker?!
What do you miss: My friends honestly. I feel like I'm trying to avoid them. I know they'll want to go for sushi and catch on immediately if I DON'T want to go for sushi or if I order non-raw fish items...makes me sad. But I can't tell them yet, it's just too early.
What are you looking forward to: Telling people!!!! x 1000! Other than that, I cannot wait to see a heartbeat on an ultrasound. The miscarriage risk goes down quite a bit after that, and it will make things so much more real.
Emotions: Feeling so happy and still in disbelief! My husband and I have nicknamed this baby "Speck" because it's the size of a speck right now lol. All we do is talk about little Speck.
Plans for the week: Wait to get my blood results from the doctor to confirm my pregnancy and figure out my plan for work from there. Friday I'll be seeing my mom!
