6 week update

Symptoms: about the same as last week. Fatigue, tender breasts, lower abdominal pain, nausea.

Appointments: I have my first appointment on Wednesday, where I'll also get my first ultrasound.

Total weight change: up 1 pound

Purchases: I'm really trying not to buy much, but I can't help checking out the baby aisle at Walmart, Target, Penny's, Sears, etc. And darn that eBay.

I got this more masculine diaper bag for Josh for about $14:


I also got this Noah's Ark bassinet for $45 (we're doing a Noah's Ark theme):

5 week update

Symptoms: Sore breasts, exhaustion, lower abdominal pain, nausea. I've thrown up once, but I'm thinking it may have more to do with the chili cheese tots rather than pregnancy.

Weight change: gained about 1 or 2 pounds

Purchases: We bought our crib and matching changing table. I know it's a bit early, but knowing us, it will take 2 or 3 months to get around to putting them together. We spent about $250 at Target. We got the convertible crib. One of the cool things we liked about it is that it includes a mobile that will somehow vibrate the mattress and has a night light. This is what it looks like, but the color may be a little different--I think this one is honey, but ours is cognac. I had a hard time finding a pic online:
