35 years old. and 5/6 weeks knocked up.

Today I am 35. 

I am pregnant. 

And other then close friends & family, no one knows (including my kiddos). 

It's a very strange feeling to keep this secret - I just want to shout it from the rooftops! 

I am feeling good (ish), excited, terrified, happy. 

I am having a birthday dinner tomorrow night with 18 of my closest friends and family and I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate surrounded by the love of my favorite people.

•How far along?: I'm thinking between guess between 5 and 6 weeks. These are the days I miss my mama being a lab technician - I'm really looking forward to our first doc appt. 

•How big is baby?: Appleseed! 

•Weight gain: As strange as it is, I lost 1 pound this week. 

•Stretch marks?: I will order Bio Oil soon - add this to my ever growing to-do list. 

•Maternity clothes?: Still wearing normal clothes. But I will admit by the end of the day, the bloat is uncomfortable.

•Sleep?: SO TIRED. Very low energy. The insomnia is slowly getting better but between Benny having Strep Throat and Layla being sick last weekend, I'm (over)due for a solid night of sleep. 

•Food cravings?: I am getting pangs of nausea / queasiness every now & again. I'm finding I'm just not hungry. It's weird. 

•Gender?: I still think it's a girl.

•Movement?: Nope...

•Labor signs?: Nope...

•Belly button in or out?: In.

•What I miss: I mean - our whole world is about to change. I'm having constant thoughts / doubts / excitement but at the end, I can't wait to see this little new face slide into our home as though it's always been there. 

•Milestone: Is it a milestone that nausea is starting? lol - in both of other pregnancies, it started around 6 weeks so it seems we're right on time.
