Week 4

How far along? 4 weeks 

Baby Size: Poppy Seed

Baby Gender: Too early to tell

Total weight gain: .5 lbs

Maternity clothes? None

Stretch marks? None

Sleep: I've been sleeping normally, but trying to start getting into the habit of sleeping on my side instead of my stomach and back

Best moment this week: There were several best moments! 

1. On Saturday (February 22), I woke up before Bryan got home from work and took the test just for fun. Five minutes later, and very much to my surprise, there were two lines instead of one! I immediately called Bryan to see how far he was from being home and eagerly waited 20 minutes (and texted my best friend, HH) to share the news. Once he got home, he gave me a kiss and I told him to check out my newly painted toes and as he looked down, I busted out the positive pregnancy test. His face turned bright red, tears definitely were in his eyes (he will never admit it), and he said, "Are you for real?!?" 

2. We were originally not planning to tell our moms until spring break since my mom will be visiting. After only about 2 days, Bry couldn't help but want to tell his mom (Mama's boy!). Since Bry had previously promised to buy me a new car once I got pregnant (bye bye Mini-Cooper), not anicipating getting pregnant so soon, I thought it would be a good idea to go "look" at the new Mazda CX-5. Once we were looking, I tested out the idea of buying my new car, going over to his mom's house to show her, and casually say, "Yeah, Bryan promised me a new car once we were pregnant…" Luckily, Bry loved the idea as much as I did so I got my new car and we got to share our fantastic news with two of the most important people in our lives!
