"Morning" sickness is said to arrive around the 6th week, so next week could be interesting (locating the barf-bag will no doubt be my first priority on next week's flight).
So far I'm really enjoying "feeling" pregnant, although so far I haven't had prominent symptoms, only mild and surprisingly numerous. Half-way through week 5, I'm feeling pretty tired, fidgety, forgetful, and what else? I get the occasional hint of nausea (mostly that feeling when your mouth suddenly fills with saliva and you need to just be still for a second), mega-bloating (I'm already employing the hair-elastic trick), and mood-swings with an added bonus of anxiety. I swear my skin is glowing, even if the extra oil that's causing it is also causing mild breakouts.
I'm "showing" already, even though all I'm showing are signs of major bloating. But it's just a reminder that something, someone is in there. Silly as it may sound, I'm pleased by the appearance of new (normal) symptoms and eagerly await more. I feel like my body was well-made for this stuff, so I don't anticipate a complicated or unpleasant experience with pregnancy. I think once I've gotten over the initial anxiety, I'll do great.

Hope and Laughter
I'm going through a tough time right now and it's something I've chosen not to expose here because of how painful and personal it is. But as a means of hoping and laughing through this tough time, I looked back on some posts from an old blog about my last pregnancy. There are few non-pregnancy-related topics sprinkled in and I thought they were fun, so I wanted to share them here over the next several days. I hope they put a smile on your face the way they do on mine.
