So here we are at 12 weeks. “Normal” people would probably be all excited about being safe* to tell people about their impending pregnancy, but of course I’ve told everyone on earth so that’s already handled. Tell everyone: check. *Safe = lower chances of miscarriage, which is a Thing People Don’t Like to Talk About,… Read More 12 Weeks – Feeling Like An Impostor
So this weekend has been busy. I’ve gotten it into my insane head that I need to get EVERYTHING done in the yard that I can while the weather is decent and I’ve got the energy. So today after a workout I went home and put out mulch and started to pick up acorns that… Read More Coming up on week 12
Monday was my birthday – 10/10. I turned 35, which now puts me into the Advanced Maternal Age category with this baby, but whatever. Normally birthdays aren’t a big deal for me, but this year I was impressed with how many people were excited for me. I am lucky to have so many people in… Read More 35 Years Old
Now that I’m at 10 weeks, apparently this tiny person is the size of a lego minifigure, or at least, that’s what my app says. Big Doctor’s appointment today. I got there SUPER early, not only because I am nervous about getting places late, but also because I assumed I’d have lots of paperwork… Read More 10 Weeks – Lego Minifig
I’ve finally been released into the wilds of regular OB appointments, of which I’ll have my first this coming Thursday on 10/06. They’ll do another ultrasound and take some blood and give me some information, I’m sure. There’s a blood test they can run between week 10 and 13 that looks for Big Bad Genetic… Read More Week 9ish – Pecan
8 week scan today showed quite a difference from the 6 week blob. All measurements were good and I’ll be headed to see my regular OB soon. Here’s the photo of what I can only describe as the Tiniest Turtle. (Upgraded from Parasite)
I recall thinking to myself, and maybe even saying to others, that I’d be glad when I started to “feel” pregnant. Well. Coming into my 8th week (theoretically), I’m starting to “feel” something. Mostly now it’s kinda pukey. And my friend who suggested that the tough part of pregnancy felt a lot like being kind… Read More Who Needs Mornings When You’ve Got Evenings
So yesterday morning, I decided not to go torture myself at the gym. Instead, I took my time before a busy day started and spent some quality time in the garden. I have about 8 rose bushes out in front of my house that I’m really proud of. I’ve paid them just enough attention that… Read More Perfect
Nothing super exciting going on this week, but I figured I could post a little update. I’ve finally found a good analogy to explain how I feel about “Being Excited About Being Pregnant!!!” Since not much has actually changed in my world (aside from an unmedicatable case of snot-attack this week, some mild “meh” nausea,… Read More 7 Weeks
Today was my big scan – so far it would appear I’m six weeks along. I’ve spent the past two weeks thinking about what it would be like if just *poof* it was all over and it would be time to try again. When Dr Scotchie came in to the room today, she said “wow,… Read More “That’s weird.”
