PREGNANCY UPDATE WEEKS 6-8

-
YAY!!!! I am so excited to finally share our secret! It has been the longest month of my life! We are so excited to share this journey with our friends and family! We found out Friday November 3rd, and time has gone so slow when keeping such a big secret! We have been married for 2.5 years, and I told myself and Joseph that I wanted 2 years for us and then after that we could start trying! From the first day of my last period to today I am 10 weeks, but at my Dr appointment he told me that the baby looked pretty small, so he moved me back and said it is most likely from having 3-4 day menstrual cycles. Which of course I wasn't to happy because that is an extra week I get to feel like crap! But it is okay! I will get over it!

I really didn't feel any symptoms until the 6th week. I started getting really tired, and I was very very very emotional. I am pretty sure I cried every single day that week! Lets just say my eyes were very red! I was really lightheaded and dizzy, even though I really was drinking tons of water. I did get a couple headaches, but not to many. I did miss lots of school just because I was tired, and it was getting close to the end of the semester so I didn't really care anymore. I also was loosing my appetite for food!

The 7th week, I definitely started feeling more sick. I could honestly couldn't eat anything. So I was throwing up water most of the time. I was so hungry, but I couldn't really look at food, or even keep food down. I did weigh myself a while back on a scale my parents had, and when I weighed in at the doctors I had lost 7 lbs. But also you can't really trust what at home scales say. But nothing sounded good, talking about food made me sick, looking at it, and even smelling it. So honestly I just starved that entire week, and I am not even kidding.

For week 8, I have just been so tired! This week I have honestly been in bed or on the couch constantly. I started feeling the worst I have felt Sunday night (it is now Thursday) and it continued until Tuesday night. I didn't go to work, I didn't go to school, I honestly just stayed home and watched movies. Which I am not complaining about! I have mostly eaten soup this week, as well as cold cereal. I find it hard to eat solid foods, so that sucks because I honestly just love food. I still am not eating a ton, but I do what I can! I sent Joseph to get me B6 Vitamins on Tuesday night which have made me feel a ton better! My sickness hasn't been as bad, and I just overall feel better! I even cleaned the kitchen today, so if that doesn't tell you that I am feeling better then I don't know what will!

But yes! That is basically it! Next round I am going to keep track of how I am actually feeling, but for now t
his is my first pregnancy update on my blog and I am so excited to document my life and share it with everyone!

DITL OF A NEW MOM

Hello! I haven't done any postpartum updates or anything like that since having Weston, but I thought it would be so fun to share with everyone what a typical day in the life of a new mom is like! Weston is almost 3 months old which is crazy! He sure does keep me busy and I am loving every second of it! 1:28 AM This is what time our morning started today! We do co-sleep, which there is lots of controversy about, but it has worked so well for us and I am so glad we have done it! I am getting a full nights sleep, and I love it! 3:39 AM I woke up  Westons next feeding. He doesn't eat a ton, so he does wake up more frequently during the night, but honestly I don't mind because I feed him laying down. Which, I guess he doesn't really wake up. He just starts moving around so I feed him before he actually opens his eyes and cries. He did feed again, but I forgot to see what time it was! I think it was 6 something 8:49 AM Good morning! Or so I thought! We...

BABY MUST HAVES

Hello lovely people of the internet! Back when Weston was a newborn, I posted a blog post of all my favorite newborn products that I loved using and more importantly what were helpful in those first couple of months home. You can read that post  here!  Now that Weston is almost 7 months old, which is still so hard to believe, I wanted to share products that we have been loving! These are all products that we have used since he was around 2-3 months old and up. I will make sure to link the exact products that we use!  These are products that I would recommend to anyone! PUMA SOCKS Okay. Listen carefully. This is probably my #1 recommendation for all you moms out there! I received some Puma socks at my baby shower, and they are THE BEST SOCKS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. They have not once slipped off his feet, nor has he been able to kick them off. I am sure it is just the style of sock really, and the brand doesn't matter as much. But I will never buy any other socks. I s...

LIFE UPDATE

Long time no talk friends. It has honestly been like 6 months since my last post on here. A lot happened this year. And I mean a lot. So lets break it down as short as possible or else this is going to be a novel. ' At the beginning of the year, we took Weston to get tested for allergies, specifically for milk and eggs. Which both came back positive. His milk allergy is very severe, so we have epi pens for him! So far we have discovered that he can't have plain eggs. But if they are baked into something, he can have them. Joseph graduated from USUE with a bachelors is English! Which I am so proud of him because he literally hated school! But he did it! Weston was also diagnosed with Asthma. We had 3 hospital trips in one month, two of which we were emitted to the ICU. This really could be a different post all by itself, but long story short when Weston gets sick, it causes his lungs to basically collapse. Every time we went to the hospital, he came back positiv...
