Oh, the hormones!  I had a complete meltdown today.  I just started saying something to DH and then started to cry a little and then I was just crying and crying and DH didn’t quite know what to do.  But then we went for a walk, and now I’m feeling better.

I’m retaining water like nobody’s business.  It’s actually kind of scary, as my mother had preeclampsia.  I need to seriously lay off the salt and drink more water to keep this under control.  I’m heavy as it is, so I need to keep my pregnancy weight gain to a minimum.  I gained “5lbs” in one day – I’m pretty sure it was from all the salt I had the day before.  EEK….I’ll need to talk to my doc about this at my appointment.

Another week has passed.  I’m now at 5 weeks, 35 left.  My cramping has gotten a lot better- I only get a few cramps every now and then.  My boobs are terribly sore and I’m really tired, but that’s it.  I’m very grateful not to have any morning sickness at this point, but sometimes I wonder if I did if it would seem more real.  I’m still not sure it’s completely sunk in yet – even after 7 bfps.

We told my in-laws over the weekend – they were here visiting and seeing our house for the first time.  And they were so excited.  We told them that it’s still early and that we’re cautious at this point, but they were still thrilled – and it’ll be important if something does happen (God forbid) that we have family there to support us.

I got my hair cut today and it’s awesome.  And they washed it with “lavender mint” shampoo, which was fantastic.

And I had a dream that we were having twins.
