Anyone in there?

Well the doctor appointment was pretty pointless. She did an internal ultrasound but she said it was just too early to see anything. I did get blood drawn so they can test my levels and I have to get more blood drawn on Friday. I go back next week and hopefully they can find something in there this time. I'm not too concerned yet. I may just be even earlier than I thought. I'm still feeling the same, nothing new to report although my early maternal instincts say we're having a boy. No particular reason why I feel that way I just do so we'll see.

How far along? around 4 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: none yet
How big is the baby? the size of a poppy seed
Maternity clothes? nope
Sleep: I want to sleep all the time! Sooo tired!
Best moment this week: Letting the pregnancy sink in. :)
Movement: The only thing moving is my bladder.
Food cravings: None really yet
Gender: Feeling like it's a boy
Labor Signs: Hopefully not for a very long time
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss the most: My energy
What I am looking forward to: Finally seeing the little baby.
Symptoms: Complete exhaustion, have to pee a lot, everything smells
Milestones: First ever positive pregnancy test.

Weekly Update: In week 3, sperm meets egg, and voila: conception! Your little zygote sets off on a six-day trek through your fallopian tubes, dividing and redividing into identical cells as it travels to your uterus. In week 4, now safe in your womb, the ball of cells (blastocyst) splits in two, becoming the embryo and the placenta. The amniotic sac and fluid are forming around baby, and will act as a cushion for the next eight months..
