My Symptoms: I got my period (oh joy) after four months and the tampon hurts a bit.

She doesn’t cry so much anymore. Actually she cries quite seldom
She grabs her feet
She talks a lot
She laughs out loud

Expecting Baby #2!

Woot woot – baby #2 is on its way 🙂

I took a pregnancy test on August 9th 2017 which was positive.

I was 8+ weeks pregnant at my first appointment and the little peanut inside me has a heartbeat and is growing. I assumed that I am 7 weeks pregnant yet I guess my last cycle started with the first day I had one drop of blood in my panties – confusing.

How far along: 8 weeks
How much do I weigh: 49,7 kg
Belly size: The usual fat-bump

Sleep: I have too much going on in my brain. A lot is bothering me at work, things changed at the Gyn office. Q comes into our big bed every night at the moment so.. sleep? Not so good
Food (non) cravings: Not in the mood for coffee
Symptoms: Nausea every day the whole day! Sometimes stronger, sometimes not so strong. I’m very flabby, my blood pressure was 95/60 yesterday and that’s how I feel. The headache has gotten better, the first few weeks I had it very strong once a week. I’m not in the mood for a n y t h i n g, I have to force myself to go to the gym.
Maternity clothes: None yet but I wish I could wear them already 🙂
Stretch marks: None
Miss anything:
Looking forward to: … the time without nausea

Looking forward to: … the time without nausea
Best happenings this week: Telling most of the family members about the pregnancy

It’s been a while since I wrote everything on the top and I am now 15+ weeks pregnant. All good so far, the first three months are over and I am so happy, I feel a lot better now. My belly seems huge and I’m too lazy to make photos 🙁 Too busy to blog and just occupied with other things in real life I guess. I wish I’d make a weekly blog about my pregnancy just like with Baby#1. Halp!
