Just thought I'd document for future reference some of the things I have noticed in the short week I have known myself to be 'with child':
1. I am so, so sleepy.
2. I have slight soreness and sensitivity in my breasts - but strangely only one has grown and become quite firm while the other is normal (except the montgomery glands which have materialised on both).
3. I need to pee every hour of the day. Luckily not too much at night, but maybe because that is because I am careful not to drink too much liquid after work hours.
4. I check my underwear at each bathroom visit - I am so concerned that the spotting will come back or, worse, this will all be a cruel joke and I will actually get my period late.
5. I have been trying to eat all the daily food requirements, but it is so much harder than you'd think. I am normally quite a health freak anyway, but this is ridiculous!
6. My belly is really itchy - is this a normal experience of pregnancy or something unrelated?
7. I have started to waddle - I know it is way too early for that and I haven't even put on any weight, but I am still acting as though I am full blown pregnant! Plus, I am sticking my belly out - or at least no longer holding it firm.
8. I get quite teary at strange things. Not that abnormal for me, I am not a stranger to a cry at an emotional movie or book, but this is at almost random things.
9. I caress my belly when no one is watching, I just love the though of my baby being in there so much.
10. I think the pregnancy is finally sinking in with us; my husband has started putting his face close to my belly and talking to our little 'baby love'.

"Baby Love" -- too sweet! Glad to hear we're on the same track with the symptoms - funny that one boob reacts differently to the other right? I'm thinking that within the next week or two we'll both be in full blown symptom territory... can't wait!!!
