Missed Weeks Recap

Week 4
Did an early pregnancy (6 days early) and we are expecting our second baby!

So excited to share the news but Vic & I both agreed to at the very least wait until the first doctor's appointment. I dislike keeping secrets especially when it's such exciting news!!! :)

Pregnancy symptoms in full force: constant queasiness / nausea through out the entire day, constantly exhausted, frequent peeing trips, ravenous appetite, craving all sorts of bad stuff that I don't normally eat.

Baby is the size of a poppy seed!

Week 5

Pregnancy symptoms: Day 2 of week 5 and no nausea / queasiness at all. I can't believe it. However sheer and utter exhaustion is in full force.

My uncontrollable hunger has subsided significantly and I'm eating normal now. Phew! Currently I am eating smaller but more frequent meals.

Names have already been been picked out. I took forever to agree on names with Ava and this time around it's settled at week 5! Sorry folks you will have to wait until the baby arrives in May to find out his/her name is. People are quick to voice their judgements/opinions of what they think of the name and we simply don't need to hear it.

Week 6

Nausea / queasiness has returned! Ugh, not fun. I find myself constantly snacking to get rid of this feeling.

Sheer and utter exhaustion 24/7. Having a soon to be 3 year and being pregnant is not easy. Naturally she constantly wants my attention especially at my lowest points. Gone are the days when I took a nap during the day while expecting Ava. However every now and then I get lucky and nap while Ava is napping.

Had my first doctor's appointment for the baby today. Got all the blood work done - 6 viles to be exact! The lady asked me if I was going to be okay as I looked away. I thought I was going to pass out with so much blood be taken out. Our sweet pea's first ultrasound in scheduled next week. Curious to see how the baby is developing.

Week 7

Have I mentioned I'm nauseous / queasy?? Oh boy, this lasts from when I wake up to around early evening. I discovered last week my prenatal vitamins weren't helping so I have switch to children's gummy bear vitamins. It's better then nothing and has less side affects.

I'm moody and short tempered a LOT! God bless all those who interact with me on a daily basis. Sometimes I can't even stand myself.

Had our first ultrasound! The technician said the baby's heart was at 132 beats which is normal. It really sinks in seeing our sweet pea on the monitor. A miracle indeed!

Baby is the size of a blueberry!

Week 8

Nauseous / queasy mostly mid afternoon right after lunch until 3p.m. Super exhausted during this time too like I got smacked with an 18 ton MAC truck :( There have been days where I left work an hour early to take a nap before picking Ava up just so I can get through the night.

EMOTIONAL : any story, show, song that touches my heart usually moves me to tears. My husband thinks this is hilarious! LOL

Found GNC prenatal vitamins that do NOT make feel bad, phew!

Our parents & families mostly know the good news. We are slowly telling close friends too when the opportunity arises. It's so good to actually talk about it with other people. When I was expecting Ava it seemed everyone close to us where expecting too which made it fun. This time around it's just me and the cleaning lady at work, LOL.

Baby is the size of a kidney bean!














Week 9

High and low points of energy. The other night after making and eating dinner, I had to lay down and rest. Afterwards I was fine.

I have noticed that my evening meals need to become much smaller otherwise I have an upset stomach for the rest of the night. Pants are becoming very uncomfortable around my waist. I live in sweats and yoga pants when at home.

Baby is the size of a grape!
