I think I am hitting the extreme fatigue stage now. I've taken a nap every day for the past four days. However, the last two nights I had trouble falling asleep at night so I'm trying to not take a nap today and see if that works out better for me. I'm feeling totally wiped out now though!
I am having a hard time not telling people we're pregnant yet. People ask about a second baby a lot more now that we have one kid than they asked about a first before we had Anna. I am having to lie directly to people's faces and I don't like that. However, another part of me thinks I am only five weeks along and I just don't need the whole world to know at this point. I might have to tell a few of my girlfriends that I see a lot though because after consistently turning down wine for a few weeks in a row, people definitely start getting suspicious and I don't want anyone to come straight out and ask me if we're "trying" or if I'm pregnant because I feel like I'm the worst liar and I also feel really guilty about it. I'm going to a mom's night out tonight and I believe there will be wine available. Tonight, if questioned, I will say I'm going for a run in the morning (which I really should do anyway!), which I think is a totally valid excuse.
According to Your Pregnancy Week by Week, Baby is .05 inches (1.25mm) in length. This book says that the central nervous system and muscle and bone formation are beginning to take shape, and that the skeleton is starting to form. Several other sources indicate that Baby's heart starts beating this week, which is pretty incredible!
