The Belly Project Week 2

So here we are. It's already week 2 of the project and week 5 of my pregnancy. I have decided to take weekly pictures because I saw a really great slide show of someone's pregnancy week by week and it was fun to watch her transformation. I also got a pregnancy journal that is all about the belly. I thought it was a perfect compliment for The Belly Project. There are pictures for your belly each week.

So far I have been still feeling pretty good. I definitely noticed more fatigue all week. If I didn't know that I was pregnant it would have been easy to dismiss it as a busy week, however it's definitely more than usual. That and I've had a few minor, short waves of nausea. However, today I have had a low level of nausea all day. The other new development - cravings!! :) I have been craving a nice salad all week: iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, croutons, cheese and ranch dressing. I was able to satisfy that tonight for dinner. It was so great! Then after dinner Eric made the first cravings run to the grocery store for me. Tonight it was cookies and cream ice cream with chocolate sauce and a peeled orange (the ice cream and chocolate went together, but the orange was on it's own on the side). It was perfect. I was so happy!

Ok, here is picture #2. I am really bloated so it looks like I have a belly already! I'm hoping that it will shrink soon! All of these fun pregnancy symptoms! Oh yeah - and definitely peeing all the time! I have been trying to drink lots of water and have all but stopped drinking soda. I still have about 1 per day but that's about it and I don't even usually finish it.
