5 weeks pregnancy update! / ssw 5

Today I want to share BIG NEWS: I am pregnant! We are so happy and thankful for this wonderful blessing!<3 I always wanted to record everything in a pregnancy diary and as we already know, I have the big luck to write down everything right from scratch! 

However, before making it public I wanted to wait for my first doctor´s appointment and see if everything is ok so far. So, today as I am writing this post is actually Sunday, November 10th!

I have followed Anna Saccone through her pregnancy blogs and vlogs and I really like the way she has pointed out everything. So, thanks Anna for inspiring me! :) I will be doing my updates in almost the exact same a similar way now.

Just want to point out again, that I am not a native English speaker and I wanted to post the pregnancy updates in German SO badly! But I convinced myself that I can do it - I will get that managed with all its kind of medicinal wordings etc. which will be difficult and really is an effort, but the whole sense of this blog is to maintain and extend my English. Especially thinking of when the baby will be here next year and I won´t be working anymore this will be a good practice to keep in touch! :)

So here is my test result:

I know the line is barely visible which is probably because I made the test on the first possible day and the hormonal hcg concentration was not too high at that point. But the test description put a picture of the exact same pale line and said: pregnant! As we couldn´t believe our luck and just to be safe I repeated the test 2 days after! ;)
And this is my bump for 4 weeks! (pls. don´t mind my stupid face expression, haha!)

How far along? Today I am at my first day of the 5th week as far as I know. This might change after I´ve had my first doctors appointment, we´ll see.

Total weight gain: I came to know that I am pregnant right after my little holiday weekend trip with lots of food and fancy restaurants, so my start weight will be 68,3kg, by the end of this week I lost 0,4kg.

Bump measure: 75cm

Maternity clothes? Not yet

Stretch marks? No

Fitness: A walk at the beach - don´t know exactly how long. 1x 30mins. swimming (40 lanes). A 15 minutes morning walk to the bakery.

Sleep: I woke up almost each night, sometimes I could´t find back to sleep and lay awake for an hour or so.

Best moment this week: When I saw that the test result was positive and I realized I am finally pregnant! :) And the radiant happy expression/laugh of my husband when I told him right after. Also the happiness of my brother and my sister in law, when we told them on Saturday. All these moments were really precious to me!

Miss anything? Not really, although I noticed that I cannot drink a glass of wine from time to time anymore. I´ve always enjoyed these evenings and now I know that it´s not happening for a long time again.

Movement: No

Food/cravings: Salami! I already bought salami and then I found out that it´s bad to eat during pregnancy :( how mean is that?! Apart from that I totally prepared and liked all healthy food this week. :)

Anything making you quesy or sick? No

Gender: I don´t know.

Labor signs: No

Symptoms: At first there are these breakouts around my chin area, I feel a little pulling in my stomach sometimes and my boobs are really sensitive!! I also felt a little bit dizzy in the morning when I went to work.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or of? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy! :)

Looking forward to: My first doctors appointment.

I am so excited and I will be happy to exchange thoughts and experiences with you! Please leave me your comments below in English or German, as you prefer!
