Buntis Chronicles: Week 5

May 23: On a random urine test after a whim, I found out I was pregnant. Suffice to say, that was all that I needed to quickly erase any thought of joining the sulking Jessica Sanchez fans.

May 24: Our 28th month as husband and wife. Woke up at 2:57 am. Restless and anxious. Excited too. Good thing there was an OB available to see me this day with just a moment's notice. I bled a few days back and dismissed it thinking it was just my period. It also doesn't help that I've been experiencing cramps here and there. Crossing my fingers that I don't have a molar or a tubal pregnancy.

May 24, 10 am: Nope. That ultrasound picture's definitely not a tubal pregnancy, thank God! But my OB warned me to be conservative about it as the transvaginal ultrasound only showed a bean-like amniotic sac that looked empty. I am only 5 weeks along, after all.

May 24, 5:30 pm: The cramps I've been experiencing on and off returned, this time more magnified than ever now that I'm aware of my condition. I was just told to not do any exercise involving jumping. Do squats count as a no-no? I'm asking because what I do at work involves a lot of squatting to grab my stuff each time what is needed is at the bottom of my workstation.

Ugh. Can't wait for my next pre-natal visit. Until then, I'll just have to pray.
