We still haven't told very many people. We're holding off because we're scared something horrible might happen... bad, I know. I keep having visions of going to the doctor, them doing the sonogram and saying um, you're not pregnant... IRRATIONAL, I KNOW. My brain is one fat stack of irrational, sprinkled with stress at this point.
I haven't had morning sickness {knock knock} and I've been reading baby books and websites non-stop. I can't decide if I'm just feeling knowledgeable or downright freaked the eff out...there's a lot of scary shit that could happen. I did find one website that I particularly enjoy-Alphamom and more specifically the Pregnancy Calendar. Her lighthearted take on everything makes pregnancy much more enjoyable if I do say so myself. For example, she gave me a teensy ego boost in the week 7 entry:
Some women don’t have a ton of symptoms in early pregnancy. Or any! This doesn’t mean your body isn’t producing and doubling pregnancy hormones at the proper rate. It just means your body is TOLERATING the doubling pregnancy hormones better. Basically: you’re a pregnancy viking! You win and the rest of us miserable saps fail.
I get it from my momma?
Anyway, here's how things are shaping up. :)
How far along? 7 weeks.
Size of baby: Blueberry! My fave. ;)Total weight gain/loss: On the to do list: buy a new scale.
Stretch marks? No ho ho.
Sleep: DOWNRIGHT SHITTY. I think it's stress, Tyler thinks it's the prenatals...whatever it is, it sucks and all I want are my Z's.
Best moment this week: I told my grandpa he was going to be a great grandpa. That was pretty great.
Movement: Nope.
Food cravings: One day I really wanted mac and cheese. NOM.
Sex: Not applicable, yo.
Labor Signs: Uh, no.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss: Still coffee. And wine.
What I am looking forward to: Our first appointment. And being able to tell everyone!
Weekly Wisdom: This is more like a reminder... Goal is to go to the gym and moderately work out three times a week. Got that, Brittany? THREE TIMES A WEEK.
Milestones: Tyler bought us a crib already. The dude is excited.
Ugh my sleep was horrible during the first trimester too which I didn't understand b/c you're supposed to be tired all the time right? It's gotten better the last few weeks. You are a lucky lucky girl not to have morning sickness!!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to start these little pregnancy questions. I just copy and pasted for future use :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you're not sleeping well! I'm falling asleep really easy but waking up a million times a night. Mostly because I'm uncomfortable all the time but also to pee. A lot.
1. You were not irrational in your fear. I had two miscarriages and when we saw that there was no heartbeat the second time I was heartbroken. There is nothing like having to un-tell people. You made a good choice to wait until you had your first appointment!
ReplyDelete2. Are you still morning sickness free? I hope so! I never had it, I was just exhuasted 23 hours and 57 minutes out of each day!
He bought you a crib?! I need to come over ASAP to come see it. Oh my god, you guys are going to be such a good mommy and daddy. Hope that non-alcoholic wine is helping your cravings ;)
