5 weeks

I am five weeks along now and I am feeling pretty good. Just when I think to myself "I don't feel pregnant" I start to get a cramp of some queasy feeling. I think the doctor is going to say we are a week farther along then I estimate because they are going to measure from my last period. Although, I know I ovulated later... Oh well! Maybe I will get and ultrasound ealier!
