So, finally got my ultrasound done two days ago, and they adjusted my dates a bit. Looks like baby is 5 days behind the date estimated by my LMP (last menstrual period), so I’m back into week 6. The technician I was seeing was an hour behind schedule, and since I wasn’t warned, I had …

Hubby and I spent a night at a bed & breakfast in Stillwater this weekend, away from puppies and family, just the two of us. We had a great time, walked down to main street and ate at the Green Room. We got a nice spot on the roof, with a nice view, but then …

Well, weighed myself again this morning, the couple pounds I gained already went away, so I guess bloating is finally dying down. I don’t need to really gain anything this trimester, so I’m not worried as long as I don’t gain (or lose) too much. Anyways, a friend of mine just posted her early ultrasound, which …

And now that bloating has gone down a bit, I’m also closer to my pre-luteal phase weight, which means I can start documenting my ‘bump’. …

5:20am: Wake up. Still have sore breasts, but not as bad as Sunday. Temp is 98.50, slight increase from the past few days, so that’s a good sign for the little embryo. Still some mild cramps, but nothing major yet, and no spotting. Stopped at a Target before lunch to ogle some baby clothes, but …
