I found some cute "bump" stickers to use for little updates throughout this pregnancy. I wanted to have some of my symptoms and thoughts on the pregnancy recorded. Since my 12 week update will be up next week, I thought I should get my very first "bumpdate" up with some slightly modified pregnancy questions that I found on pinterest.
How far along? Eight weeks when these pictures were taken. Twelve tomorrow though.
Baby is the size of: A raspberry in the pictures, a plum now!
Maternity clothes: Not wearing maternity shirts yet, but mostly stretchy or early stage maternity pants. First trimester bloat is real.
Sleep: I sleep pretty well, but never feel like it is enough... something that my non-pregnant self almost never has a problem with. It was my first symptom and has stuck around. I take power naps whenever possible and go to bed much earlier.
Best moment this week: Hearing babies heartbeat, and a date night with Dan for his birthday.
Movement: No, and I can't wait to feel this!
Food cravings: Mostly fruit. I have a bagel and cream cheese with fruit every morning.
Anything making you queasy or sick? This has eased up a lot, but there is no telling what smells will set me off and make me feel super sick. Eggs have been a constant sick food for me with both pregnancies.
Gender: Don't know yet!
Labour signs: This one will apply more toward the end of my pregnancy.
Symptoms: Exhausted, sick at times (though this has eased up a lot the past couple weeks), heartburn, and those pinching/ growing pains that you probably know of if you have ever been pregnant.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy most of the time, but I have my moments. I try to fight the moodiness or take some time to myself when I can feel that I am not "myself".
Looking forward to: The second trimester!
Oh yayy! This is so exciting :) Man I hope that when I am pregnant that I crave fruit! However knowing my history I am thinking I will probably just crave junk food, haha. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I love reading bumpdates, I think they are so fun and make me look forward to the day that I am pregnant.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I am glad that it is fruit that I want this time around. Last time, it was buffalo wings which is so much worse and always gave me heartburn. Haha hopefully that doesn't change much!
DeleteAwwwwwww WOW this is such an amazing post!! I love the whole idea behind it. Exciting that you don't know the sex yet! Do you have a feeling??? Also super lucky that you're craving fruit lady!!! Knowing me I'll crave every unhealthy thing on earth and explode.... hahaha
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the next one of these posts :)

I don't have a strong feeling either way about gender. This pregnancy has been quite a bit different from my last one which makes me think girl. But I also think I could see myself with a couple boys... so I don't feel strongly about it either way yet. Yes, fruit is much better than the buffalo wings that I wanted last time!
DeleteAww yay for hearing the baby's heartbeat! That's the best! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Love it!
