Today I am 5 weeks and few days along.  I could have a baby with a beating heart by now-- if it's not an empty sac.  Exciting!  I actually keep looking up miscarriage info.  It's my latest hobby-- I figure that at 42 it's a likely possibility for me. However, much of the time I feel very positive.  I think I'm just bloated, but I feel like someone has taken root.  Time will tell.  It's a scary time but nice too.  No morning sickness or anything yet.  No real signs that progesterone or hcg is rising-- except my skin is very glowy.
