5 weeks today!!!

I know there are many weeks to go, but I am celebrating that we have made it this far! I am thankful for the nausea as otherwise I'd likely keeping taking hpts for proof I am still pg. Yet the nausea is manageable unlike the stomach flu last Sun/Mon. :-) I weighed myself so I can start tracking my weight. I had gained about 5 pounds over the last 3 months as I haven't exercised that much since I stopped during the ivf in August. Since I'm a little overweight (BMI is 26 and it's supposed to be 24.9 or lower if you don't want to be labeled "overweight"), my goal (after doing some reading) is not to gain more than 20 pounds during the pregnancy. Additionally, I am hoping not to gain any during the first trimester so I want to keep weighing myself to make sure I'm neither gaining nor losing weight. Sharon (a colleague at work) is treating me to lunch today at LaFontana (Italian restaurant). I am hoping it sits well and doesn't lead to heartburn. :-) I am looking forward to celebrating our happy news with her! Paul is having a harder and harder time finding a place to stab me that isn't already bruised. I must say I am back to being aware of my backside all day long and it wakes me up at night sometimes when I get in a position that puts more pressure on the bruises. But if our baby needs these shots then it's worth a black & blue butt!
