Okay, I really was hoping for the nausea to be gone by now! But here we are again. With Fitz’s pregnancy, I had nausea the entire.nine.months. With my second pregnancy (lost at 11-12 weeks) I had HG and it put me in the hospital twice. This pregnancy is going like Fitz’s so far, with nausea most of the time. The vomiting/dry heaving ended at 15 weeks, so that’s a plus. I do take some meds for it (talk to your doctor if you’re struggling!), so that gives me a few hours a day where I can be productive.
FEELING: Unsure about how I can last another 21 weeks! For me, pregnancy just seems to take so loooong! I have a friend who said to me once, “The worst pregnancy symptom I get is being a little tired for a few days”. What?!? Along with the nausea, I’ve got headaches, fatigue, insomnia, and anxiety. Lord help me.
EATING: Grapes Nuts Flakes and juice every morning, then a lot of fruit. I still crave Chick-Fil-A often. We were so excited when one opened just down the street, but then it recently closed due to a Covid outbreak. So now I have to drive ten minutes to get it…..oh, pregnancy woes!
WEARING: Still obsessed with Aerie loungewear. There sport bras, joggers, and this cardigan are the best! I also went to Aerie for some larger underwear (I went from a small to a medium immediately!) and saw these casual and comfy mid-length dresses. I bought three! I haven’t worn jeans in weeks, but when I wear these clothes I can still feel good I’m not in maternity clothes yet, ha!
THINKING: SO excited to find out the gender in F O U R days! I can’t wait to get more final on a name and get some boy or girl touches for the nursery. Fitz is positive it’s a boy and I’m trying to prepare him either way. We plan to announce to my family at my sister’s annual fourth of July party. We will come armed with a blue and a pink firework of some sort to make the big reveal!
PREPARING: We worked on clearing out our third room for the nursery! Because we are in an apartment, we have to really be creative when we move things around, but I’m happy about how things are looking. Next month we plan on buying the crib!
Almost halfway to meeting baby! I can’t wait to give the gender reveal soon.
