This is something I have been wanting to share FOREVER, it has felt like the longest 3 months ever. Even though this has been something we have wanted for the last 2 years, it came as a total surprise! December I got offered an amazing job and for this first time in a long time I was content and happy. I wanted to get settled with my job and make sure I really did well. January 1 came around and my cycle didn't start, which for me is not unusual, so I figured it would be late as it has many months prior. After 7 days of my period being late I decided to take a test and bam, there it was, a faint second line. The next day I rushed to get blood work done and get put on progesterone suppositories to hopefully give this little bean the best chance at survival.
February 9 was our first appointment, I had no idea how far along I was because I wasn't tracking anything in December. I was scared and nervous, I didn't think anything was even there, but low and behold we saw a little gummy bear and the ultra sound tech said I was 8 weeks 3 days. Everything fell into place and it finally felt like things were meant to be, after all the hardship and tears.
How far along? almost 12 weeks!
Total weight gain? nothing, I have actually lost 10 pounds since finding out :/ not because of morning sickness either (I haven't had any, just felt nauseas). I believe it is because I have had the WORST food aversions to everything, so my eating hasn't been the best.
Maternity clothes? Nope
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep? I have not seen anything past 8pm since finding out I was pregnant - sleep has been the only thing working in my favour.
Best moment this week? We finally found the heartbeat on our doppler, it was such an amazing moment, we tried forever!
Miss anything? My appetite :(
Movement? Nope
Food cravings? About a week ago I was craving Jolly Ranchers but that has been the only food I have gone out of my way to eat. I have also been craving orange juice and chocolate milk.
Anything making you feel sick or queasy? Everything :( the food aversions are strong with this one.
Showing? Not yet.
Gender? Not sure!
Labor signs? None.
Symptoms? Tired all the time, nauseas, no appetite - those seem to be the main ones
Belly button in or out? In.
Wedding ring on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time? Moody, sorry KyleLooking forward to: Our ultra sound this coming Wednesday! We get to see the baby again :)
