Since this little blog documents the highlights of our daily life I figured it was only suitable to document our pregnancy here too. I’ve been keeping my own little diary daily throughout pregnancy but here are is a little summary. I have been SO thankful for a really great pregnancy so far! Truly. I did have some bouts of nausea a couple times but nothing that wasn’t bearable and it didn’t ever last for long. There were also some moments where food would just not sound good to me.
I certainly struggled with fatigue & exhaustion early on though! I quickly learned that just spending a day at a friends house conversing would take me several days to recover. And even once or twice I somehow found myself falling asleep in the bathroom at work – this one completely shocked me, like how the heck do you just fall asleep while going to the bathroom!?
The hardest thing for me was just adjusting to eating. At first I felt like I was constantly hungry and just eating all the time. I wanted to cry because I just didn’t want to eat anymore, I was tired of eating. Then I started shifting to being hungry but not being able to eat as much as previously – at dinner one night I couldn’t even finish my burrito and I LOVE burritos! I’ve settled and found a pretty good routine of eating 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day, that’s been working well for me.
Overall I just felt a little different throughout the 1st trimester, not quite the regular me. But I’ve not felt horrible either thank goodness! I am grateful to be healthy & happy 🙂
Hi Rechelle… thanks for sharing your pregnancy journey on the blog. Thankful that you didnt have much of the classic morning (sometimes all day) nausea. Very interesting about finding your balance in eating and activity. Wow on the falling asleep in the bathroom… well, you are growing a human and sustaining life for 2… and that takes WORK. Please take care of yourself. Woof to the dogs… 😉
