Baby Three Is On the Way

Yesterday we confirmed with ultrasound that I am three weeks along with number three.  I had a positive pregnancy test last Friday after I experienced cramping I have only experienced while pregnant.  Who knew you could get a faint positive (okay, I took 4 internet cheapies with all positive) at only two weeks along?  That is just CRAZY!!!! So, yesterday, at approximately three weeks, the ultrasound showed a corpus luteum and thickening endometrium.  We go back in three weeks to check on things.

How far along? 3 weeks
 
Total weight gain: Lost 2 lbs.  Currently 134.8
   
Maternity clothes? Don't expect to need these for several weeks. Already out of my skinny jeans due to discomfort.  I have so much pressure with this uterus thickening!
 
Stretch marks?  Don't expect them.
    
Sleep: I've always loved my sleep and it is no different now.  Ha!  Yesterday around 4 I could cave easily taken a nap but then I was up by 4 this morning.  Go figure!  

Best moment this week: Confirming that I wasn't going crazy and am indeed pregnant.  Earlier than we planned, but just as exciting.
       
Miss Anything? Not getting in trouble for picking Micah up.  Doctor said nothing heavier than 20 lbs and Scott is already strict on that.
                   
Movement:  Won't be any for some time, unless you count gas bubbles. ;)
     
Food cravings: None.
         
Symptoms:  Achy pressure and discomfort in uterus, nausea, lightheadedness, increased appetite and thirst, heightened senses of smell, tingling.
  
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nothing in particular but I do randomly feel nauseous. 
 
Labor Signs: Way too early.
 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Extremely happy.  Even in the face of a mass on my thyroid.
  
Looking forward to: Telling the news to everyone, seeing the kids' reactions, the day I don't have cramping and paranoia that my cycle is going to start any day.
