17 Weeks

17 WEEKS


Craving: pho, miss, warm salty soups
Aversions: chicken still. sometimes I can handle dark meat. 
Moods: panic and tears
Energy: sleep is either non-existant or completely k.o'd
+ Symptoms: nesting, insanely protective, & "mothering"
- Symptoms: cramps, nausea and vomiting, moody, dizzy
Notes: living situation decided. We'll see how it goes in execution. Lots of packing to do - & back to work this week. Dizziness is probably due to dehydration - which I'm showing through low blood pressure so lots of salt and water prescribed for me! ;D bring on the chips. 

Intro & 16 weeks

Hey there!

If you're reading this you either:
a.) accidentally stumbled upon it
b.) are intentionally lurking
c.) were sent in this direction to see updates on my pregnancy and life thereafter

     Either way, you've stumbled upon my weekly updates & any other photos & things I plan on sharing here about the bump & the baby afterwards, and the goings-on surrounding it.

     The reason I'm doing this on a blog is because I feel more comfortable knowing that if you are reading this it's because you want to, not because you were forced to when it came up on whichever social media platform I felt like posting to. I hate being bombarded with other people's lives (even though that's what social media is) so if you feel like knowing what I'm craving - here's the place to look. Additionally, this will help all the people I do not have the time to call or see because they are too far away for the summer (and possibly thereafter) keep up with what's going on without disrupting my much needed beauty sleep. (; As well, despite the idea of loving to write in one of the many beautiful notebooks I have and keep a journal of everything, doing it online and being accountable will help me to actually chronicle this all.

SO:

16 WEEKS [4 months]

Craving: sausages & starches - sometimes steak and stone fruit / fish & chips
Aversions: chicken, like the plague, and all dairy
Moods: anxiety & worry - but lots of friend dates are helping
Energy: is finally coming back! Almost. I actually stay awake when woken up now though :/
+ Symptoms: energy, breasts, nesting/cleaning instincts like crazy
- Symptoms: cramps, swollen gums, waking up constantly, skin sensitivity & acne still
Notes: my "tummy" is getting bigger by the day, I can feel it, and look forward to being able to feel the baby anytime now ♥ I'm also still on medical leave - but I think I'll definitely be back by the 29th! Now to just get all my dr.s appt.s out of the way before then.
