Week 5

This week I have been able to smell everything. I have had to consciously bite my tongue so that I wouldn't give away my pregnancy by claiming a smell that was too far away for anyone else to smell. I have been so surprised on how many things I can smell before seeing. Early this morning while I was getting ready I kept on smelling something sweet when I walked by my dresser but I couldn't pin point the smell. I discovered later that there was a candle for decoration I had forgotten about and originally thought was odorless but was overwhelmed by the immense scent that it was putting off. It has been an amazing discovery to have a powerful smelling nose and to be smelling the world differently.

This may be too much information but because I am writing for the purpose of creating a memory I am going to say it anyway. My breasts have been extremely sore. It sometimes hurts to have water from the shower hitting them. They already feel like they are huge and I am barely even pregnant!!

I still have all of the same symptoms from last week with the sleeplessness increased. I toss and turned all week and never once was able to sleep past 6:30am. I cannot even nap throughout the day for more than a few minutes. I don't know if it is a good or bad thing. I have been able to work out and have time for homework before my 9am class but I really miss uninterrupted 8 hour nights. Now is the time to live up the sleep before our baby (ies) come and yet I can't. It is frustrating and really nice all at the same time. This week has flown by and I am amazed at how quickly things change. I'm onto week 6 with the hope that I am one of those girls that doesn't get sick when pregnant :)

... I almost forgot that I have also had extremely dry eyes and abdominal cramping.
