Oh We Pregnant, Pregnant….

Oh We Pregnant, Pregnant….

It’s been a week since I officially found out and wow this has been a world wind of emotions, excitement, discomfort, and reading.

First let me just say, I’ve stopped trying to figure out how far along I am or when the due date might be. It’s absolutely so confusing because they go by the first date of you last period. Since the initial beta blood work which HCG was 160, I’ve had 2 other beta blood work which HCG was 470 and 3943. Next up is the first OB ultrasound

Early pregnancy symptoms are real. I have experienced exhaustion, cravings for pizza, and way too much nausea for one person. Nausea often first thing in the morning and late at night. I have also had extremely tender breasts, which became a major problem because I am a stomach sleeper 🤦🏾‍♀️. I broke down to purchase a pregnancy pillow to hopefully make side sleeping easier. I 100% recommend this pillow and while it is the best purchase ever, I now have to figure out how to side sleep without my arm going numb.

I initially tried to not let myself get excited and allow those around me to hold all the excitement. But someone told me, just because you don’t allow yourself to get excited doesn’t mean it will hurt any less if something happens. And that is so true, so moving forward I am going to enjoy every moment of it. I’ve waited a lifetime for this and we are just getting started!
