Hello all!!!
Well as my title says I am 7 weeks and 2 days along! I am now starting to get nauseas in the mornings and feel like someone has drained all of the energy out of me.... But I know it is all worth it. This little peanut inside me consumes my every thought... From I wonder the sex... to how much iron do I need to consume?? Is my prenatal good enough? Is this child going to range from my throat to my buttcrack because of how big my hubby is? Will my boobs every stop hurting?! haha All I want to do is eat, eat and eat some more. If I don't stop now will I be 250 lbs??? I just want this child to be healthy and happy in all aspects of life. Mark and I meet with my OB to talk about genetics this next week and see what extended panels we can do because he has some genetic anomalies his family as do I. It is pretty stressful because we were planning on doing all of this before we even started trying to conceive. I know that God will keep me and this child safe and make sure everything comes out normal... whatever that is. I am glad that I am writing this blog because I have SO many friends that are mommies out there and you all give such great advice. This is just another way for me to connect.
On another note,
My sister and nephew are leaving us on Thursday to go back to Hawaii. I wish their little family all of the best and happiness and I will be praying for them daily. It cannot be easy to be that far away from your family. Hell.. I bought the house RIGHT across the street from my parents!! My sister is one my best friends and my nephew is one of my first loves. I have learned SO much from him these past 5 months. Liv, I love you so much and I thank God every day for giving me a sister as funny and protective as you. You are a great mother and chunk loves you SO much. I cannot wait to give you your niece/nephew as a special gift for giving me Anthony. He is my angel and I love spoiling him.
Peace and fetuses all,
xoxo

I had the same worries and questions too Randi! Just don't stress yourself over them. I noticed once I got really stressed or emotional I started getting acid reflux & heartburn really bad.
ReplyDeleteI think my boobs stopped hurting a bit after the 2 month. It was not pleasant and I seriously went up two sizes! ah!
I still question if i'm getting enough of my prenatals or maybe too much, I wonder if sex is still ok (and where did my sex drive go!), I haven't had any crazy bursts of energy (I can seriously sleep for 20 hours and still feel tired).. and of course everyone is different. I hope you don't have the morning sickness I've had. I really have been on Zofran everyday and keep preggie pops handy at all times.
It's great you started this blog though, there are so many people who you can just vent to or just get your feelings out. Can't wait to read more!
Randi i think all of your questions and concerns seem to be what every mom wonders...even with 2nd and 3rd pregnancies you wonder those things. As far as your boobs I do agree with Sam...it was about 2 months or so that mine stopped...but they did continue to grown the whole dang time! 2 sizes huh Sam...that's pretty crazy! I went through 2 sizes through pregnancy and nursing but not in just pregnancy! As far as the genetics go Randi I think putting your faith in God is the best way to go :) I look forward to watching the progress of your pregnancy just like everyone else's. I can't have any more babies and I miss being pregnant so watching other peoples stories makes my heart happy :)
