Journey to Doctor Mom

Hello everyone! So today I am actually 5w6d days pregnant and almost missed my 5 week updated, because it has been quite the eventful week. I almost didn't post anything because I didn't want to jinx myself...but here is what happened. On Thursday (5w2d pregnant), I started to have the tiniest bit of spotting...like literally one drop of light pink when I wiped...I know that some spotting is normal, so tried to calm myself down. That didn't work and I continued to be a crazy wreck that whole night. The next day, I started to have some dark brown discharge...again not a lot, but some. From everything that I have read, dark brown means  old blood, so again tried not to let myself worry. The next day, same thing but a little bit more of the dark brown. At this point, I had read about 10 hours of articles about miscarriages and read so many different women talking about how their miscarriages started with brown discharge progressing to bright red blood and then severe crampin...

I am 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant today! I thought it was too early to have symptoms, but boy was I wrong! My major symptoms this week are nausea, body aches, getting full quickly, major bloat, and my lovely new symptom of diarrhea today. My boobs are also hurting and feel way bigger, even though I don't know if they actually are. I am craving CARBS... yesterday, I made sarath go drive 10 miles to get me this specific mac and cheese from noodles & company...oops. lol I am also craving strawberry milkshakes, which I have forced myself to make at home, because at least that takes some energy to make haha. I am still cautiously excited because I know so much can go wrong still this early, but I did buy some fun things this week...like the Oh Baby Board below. I also bought this awesome pregnancy journal called "The Belly Book" which allows you to document every week...its adorable. I have also started to look up nursery ideas, but don't want to get ahead of myself u...
