Cousin????

Guess what? Aunt Tabatha is Pregos!!! She just told us the news (9-16-11). We are all SO excited!!! She came by to help me and your mom decorate your new pad and Uncle Ryan and her had just got home from their annual vacation. She said she had something for us which we thought was a gift from the trip BUT NO...she hands me this picture of their feet with little brown booties and the caption says "Oh Baby". At first I didn't get it but then I looked at her and back to the picture and said YOU??? and she said YES ME! Here's the picture they gave Ryan's parents the next day.

Five weeks is a common time when moms-to-be find out they’re pregnant (though some won’t discover it for a couple more weeks still). That’s because by now you probably realized you’ve missed your period. Plus, heightened pregnancy hormone levels may be giving you some symptoms that are tough to ignore, like sore breasts, nausea and fatigue. (Those same hormones are the ones your pregnancy test picked up to give you a positive result.) These are just the beginning of the slew of changes your body is about to go through. No need to worry though: many moms-to-be say the first trimester was the toughest part of pregnancy, so you’re probably getting the rough stuff out of the way early. In the meantime, be sure to take care of yourself and get plenty of rest, eat right and test out some ways to deal with the queasies (eating small, more frequent meals is one good one). Maybe even ask your partner for a massage. After all, you might not have a big bump, but at five weeks pregnant, your body is working fast and furiously to grow baby, so you deserve a little TLC, right?

your baby's the size of an appleseed!

Your embryo is now measurable -- though at week five, it's a wee .13 inches -- and she's gearing up for much more growth. In fact, in the next week, she'll almost double in size. Grow baby grow!
