  • Aches and pains

    Hey everyone!

    I’m 21+1 today and feeling all the kicks and punches, stretches, and rolls. My son recently got to feel the baby move and he was awe-struck lol he asked me if I could feel it. Baby hasn’t cooperated for Papa yet but I’m sure he’ll feel the movements soon enough.

    Aches and pains have blossomed in the form of round ligament pain in my pelvis. I’m in pain turning over in bed, walking, going up the stairs, basically anything. I’m hoping to buy a pillow to use between my legs to help with this pain.

    We did find out that we’re having a girl which I’m excited and nervous about, thinking about all the hair fights I’m going to have to deal with!

    Speaking of hair, I shaved my head again, not as bald as I was before but enough that I didn’t have to struggle to take care of it. I was really down about its state after my sickness and just decided a fresh start is what I needed.

    I’ve been walking to the park with my son more since he’s on vacation and I think it’s doing me some good. I’m no longer super tired and run down when I get home but I am out of breath sometimes. I try to rest when we reach the house and let my body relax.

    Things are going well in the meantime so I’ll end this on a good note.

    Until next time!

  • First ultrasound with baby O

    I recently went for my first ultrasound, no waiting for 12 weeks after all!

    I was measuring at 10 weeks 3 days which is about two days ahead of what my app Nurture calculated.

    They do things a little different here in France and have me another set of measurements which is considered theoretical 11 weeks 4 days. From what I understand they add a week or two from the last menstrual date because predicting when implantation occurred is just not possible unless you did IVF.

    So here is baby O at 10w3d.

    Naveen was present for the ultrasound so he got to see his little sibling playing in my belly, he was so excited to see it on the big screen and hear the heartbeat.

    I’m glad he was there to see if because he wasn’t really believing there was a baby, he kept asking if my belly got bigger.

    Healthwise I seem to be having some fluffy weeks with occasional nausea that ranges from not so bad to I can’t move. I notice that the worst nausea always occurs when I’m up and about too much. I tend to take a rest and feel a little better.

    I hope these weeks continue to be fluffy because I feel a little more human when I can function.
