5 weeks today.  Much less cramping.  A little nausea, though it was mostly just feeling a bit queesy in the morning after oatmeal- better after toast.  No 'about to throw up" nausea- just a little queesy about two hours after eating anything- so I just kept eating toast today.Feeling very tired- like, I had to sit down a few times- afraid I might faint kinda tired.  All in all, a good day =)

34 days pregnant.  I have had NO nausea the last two days but have been cramping on and off.  Cramping seems to be related to physical activity, though it does not always abate when stationary.  Spent a day reading a book and a day taking it easy so the cramping would subside.  I think it is weird that this is coupled with NO nausea for me.  Hoping this is not a sign that things are going poorly with the pregnancy.  Not much i can do but to rest.  We had a nice long weekend but it will be back to work tomorrow, so I hope the cramping does not get worse.

32 days pregnant.  Only slightly nauseous at about 11:30 am.  Had some toast then lunch.  Felt fine, although tired by the end of the day.
31 days pregnant yesterday.  It was Thanksgiving, so their was alot of food around all day.  Only felt mildly nauseated twice today.  Once at about 10:30 in the morning- remedied by eating some crackers and dip- felt immediately better.  once at about 8-10 at night.  Ate chips and lots of water and did not feel better.  Maybe crackers just work better?  Told my Mom and my sister Mareena I was pregnant because they both specifically asked.

I am starting this blog essentially as a way to keep a good medical record of my pregnancy.  I often have a hard time with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy and my goal is to blog daily and touch on how I felt that day, how much i puked, what i was able to keep down and all those lovely details. 

So, my last period was Oct. 22nd, making me 30 days pregnant today.  That's the easiest month of pregnancy =).  Yesterday, I spent about 8 hours feeling nauseated which caused only mild distress.
Today, I only spent 1 hour feeling nauseated-causing no distress. 

I'm not sure why I felt nauseated less often today.  Maybe because I KNOW I am pregnant now, I know to eat small frequent meals.  I have also been drinking lots of Kangen water.  I have had 32 ounces of water today and probably 6 cups of juice and soda- hoping to keep myself hydrated =).

Emotionally, I feel great.  This has been my first planned pregnancy in six years. I am really excited for this little baby to come sometime around August 30th. . . I need to finish this blog so I can pay bills and research what kind of chores I can reasonably ask my kids to take on and bribe them with an allowance (for the first time ever) and then make some sort of allowance/chore chart.  I've never had a pregnancy where my kids were old enough to be able to do some things for themselves.  Noah was 3 and Daniel was 1 when the twins were born . . .
