Today I had to take the Glucose test that checks for gestational diabetes. I should have the results by end of day tomorrow. I’ve heard a lot of pregnant women complain about the drink. The taste didn’t really bother me. However, five minutes into drinking the the glucose drink I got a massive migraine. You aren’t […]
I’m writing this on a Sunday afternoon while enjoying a snack and taking a break from all my housework. My energy has really picked up, I can go about 2 hours and then I need to rest, but then I can do another 2 hours. Before, standing in the shower for 5 minutes completely wiped […]
Last week at my acupuncturist appointment she recommended I start a Paleo diet- cutting gluten and dairy out of my diet specifically, to see if that will help manage my headaches. In the morning, I generally wake up feeling good, it’s once i’ve had breakfast the headaches start, and then after lunch my body completely […]
If you follow me on social media than you saw our announcement last night that we are having a sweet little girl. We were already expecting this news but it’s nice to know for sure. Between the morning sickness and the way I was carrying all the old wives tales pointed to girl. Also, as […]
So my post on Monday was a little too ambitious. I actually wrote that post a few days prior and set it to upload as we had company coming into town. I was feeling pretty good throughout the weekend and started getting a little too confident. Sunday I had a McDonalds sundae and in-n-out burger […]
I’m writing this post from my bed… which is where i’ve been the last 5 days in a row. I was starting to feel better the last few weeks but seems like i’ve taken a turn for the worse. If i’m bed-ridden I won’t throw up. I also just have absolutely no energy. If I […]
I’m in that awkward stage where i’m showing but the “bump” still looks more like “budge” the “is-she or isn’t-she” stage where it’s not totally clear if it’s a food baby or a human baby. Wearing loose fitting clothing just makes you feel even more big and uncomfortable with your changing shape and i’d love to wear more […]
Today I had my 16 week check up and second trimester blood test (for any abnormalities). I didn’t get an ultrasound this time but I did get to hear the heartbeat and we could also hear some punches and kicks 🙂 This little one is super active! I’ve already been feeling the “butterflies” of baby moving […]
My sweet parents who were visiting this week surprised me and bought me a ton of maternity outfits! I had a big business meeting and wore this new jacket my dad picked out. Balancing low energy, nausea and a stressful work environment has been a struggle. I just puked my lunch of turkey bacon and […]
This week I started my Second Trimester! I’m still having all day nausea and vomiting but do feel like I have a little more energy these days. Here’s a photo shoot of me trying to pose, but mostly being distracted by my fruit- so yummy! Jacket – Ann Taylor Loft Shirt – Asos Maternity Jeans […]
