I'm fine. I have the occasional nausea, acid reflux, cramping, sore boobs and I'm pretty tired all the time. And a side effect I never knew existed, the increased production of bodily fluids, has kicked in BIG TIME. The amount of crap that comes out of my nose when I blow it is INSANE...lol. And no, I don't have allergies or a cold. I have no idea where it's all coming from.
Because of said increased mucous, Frank has been putting up with my "adorable snoring". Let's see how adorable it is after a few months :)
No morning sickness though...not sure if that's a good or bad thing...from what I hear, it usually doesn't kick in until around 7 weeks anyway...if at all.
Today I am 5w3d (that's 5 weeks, 3 days). And I am SURE these next 4 days will move at a snail's pace...since we're both SUPER anxious about our ultrasound on Monday.
We talk to our baby all the time...he has to know by now how loved he is. We're confident he'll be sticking around for the long haul. WE HOPE.
Keep those prayers coming...

Yay! Not about the ill effects, but about the fact that you are both CONFIDENT about this little one! I am so happy for you, I get happier every time I read an update. I'll be thinking of you on Monday, good luck!
Stick baby stick!!!
Thanks for the update M! I'm so happy that you are feeling so bad! LOL! I didn't start feeling true morning sickness or in my case all day sickness until about 10 weeks and then watch out! I will continue to keep you three in my prayers!!!
I am so happy to hear that you are doing well Melissa!!! The extra bodily fulids hasn't gone away for me. I am still stuffy and hacking up a lung. You'll get used to it. Just make sure you get your rest and take care of yourself and the baby!! I check in daily to see how you're doing. Hang in there!!!

I'm glad to hear you're doing well!! I didn't start feeling m/s until I was 7.5 weeks but when it hits you'll know! You all continue to be in our prayers and I can't wait to hear the good news from the u/s!
Woohoo!! Gotta love tha mucous production working overtime, no? Isn't that the SICKEST side effect, but hey.. it's ALL good, right?
Can't wait to get your report on Monday.. stick little guy/gal!! Continued thoughts and vibes to you, Frank and the bean!
I never had morning sickness. Not once. ;)
STICK BABY STICK!!!!!

Woohoo, it sounds like everything is falling right into place! Snoring is a good sign (according to my superstitious MIL) and the fluid production isn't going to be limited to just your nose! Sounds like everything is going swimmingly so far. Good luck Monday! (melaniekt)
sticky sticky baby vibes. I'll pray for you that this baby sticks, you deserve all the best!!!!

Hi Mel! I haven't been on the boards much since I started my new position. I came across your blog today and saw the news! I'm praying for you both. I can't think of any other couple who deserves this more than you two!
The mucus was my only 'real' side effect. Oh, and according to Matt, that cute little snoring isn't so cute later on...esp. since it's stayed past the babies coming!!!
Good luck Monday
Rachel
Good Luck to you for the "long haul". This blog is great. You'll be able to show your little one what you went through for him/her. :-)

Good luck tomorrow at your U/S!!! VIBES!!
Goods Luck Mel with your Dr. appt. tomorrow and hearing your angel's heartbeat! How exciting for you guys! xo J.
Hi Melissa! Liz's friend Kim here. I am sooo happy for you!!! You know my morning sickness never kicked in until around week 8. You are my hero for surviving it without carbs. And I was a MAD SNORER too during my first pregnancy, although I haven't been with baby #2. My theory is that it was all the extra progestorone from IVF with the first one. Hang in there. You are doing so well and I am so happy for you. Reading your blog just makes me tingle from head to toe!
