Week 3 Update

Hello all! I am officially done with week 3! According to pregnology.com I am now 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant! Until I go to my OB on the 25th of this month I am going by what several websites have said my due date is which is October 15, 2011. Some say later, but if you also add in your average cycle length (31 days for me) it's a little more accurate. We still can't believe we're pregnant. This last week has been a whirlwind of a week. There's so much that has happened and so much more to think about. I'm trying really hard not to stress out too much about anything, I know that's not good for the baby. My husband has been amazing. He's really taken over the worrying and constantly makes sure that I'm doing ok. He's been so sweet and I can't wait to see what kind of dad he will be!
I'm not sure if all women go through this in early stages of pregnancy but we are very nervous about everything! We have not told any family yet (only 2 very close friends) because we are waiting on our first appointment. We are pretty apprehensive about talking too much about the future or getting too excited... like we don't want to jinx anything. I guess that's normal, I'm just anxious to go to my doctor and get some feedback. So we are living day by day, excited for each new symptom I experience. I think today we are going to go to the mall and look at baby clothes and just all things baby! It should be a fun day!


SYMPTOMS THIS PAST WEEK: 
-Nausea
-Increased heart rate 
-PMS-like cramping
-Exhaustion

-Nausea- comes and goes and it's at random times during the day. It hasn't been too bad so far. Fingers crossed!
-Increased Heart Rate- I get out of breath doing the littlest things. I read that my heart is pumping extra blood to my uterus. :)
-PMS-like cramping- My uterus is all ready expanding and preparing itself for the growing baby.
-Exhaustion- It has been a little better in the last few days, but I'm still more tired than I have ever been.
