Today (okay yesterday, by the time I actually finish up this post). So Tuesday. I had my 16 week OB appointment. Which I’ve been VERY excited about. Not as much for the appointment itself (though that too). But also because I knew I was supposed to schedule my big ultrasound today. But more on that later. Here’s how the appointment went: Continue reading

16 Weeks
Week 16. Feeling a lot better. Sleeping a lot better. Sometimes staying up too late, which says something in itself that that’s even possible. Still the occasional headache, and it’s still really hard to get rid of if I get one. But they are less frequent also. In general, pregnancy is getting a fair bit easier. Some aches and the occasional sciatic nerve pain, but that’s a lot easier to deal with at this point than insomnia. I’ll have to be careful though to do what I can to not let that get out of hand.

Reflecting on Miscarriage
I alluded to having a lot on my mind in my 11 week post. I’m starting to write this on 4/26, and who knows how long it’ll take me to click “publish” on this one. And I’m not going to rush it. I have so many thoughts on this topic, but I feel like I can never adequately put it into writing. But I thought I’d take a crack at it even though I don’t think I can do it justice. Even though it’s not truly related to this pregnancy, there are always a lot of thoughts swirling in my head on this topic. Especially being pregnant again. And especially as a sweet woman from work is going through it now. Continue reading
Quick update (belly pic)
Just a quick update. Yesterday morning, I woke up with a bump. It had been there a little bit for a while, but not as much. A lot of this happened literally overnight. I felt better in a way because I keep feeling like I should be bigger! I know I shouldn’t complain because I have many more weeks to grow! I think it looks bigger when I’m just standing there looking in the mirror, too. As opposed to trying to take a picture of it. And when I’m sitting it kinda pooches out, lol. I can feel it more when I’m sitting, too. Continue reading
15 Weeks
Today, like every new week, feels like another new victory. Things are finally getting easier too, I think. For the most part, I have been sleeping better (last night being an exception), and I think maybe the headaches are getting less frequent and less difficult to get rid of. So that’s happy news too. I was feeling a bit disappointed this week because I hadn’t really noticed any tummy changes in a while (realistically, I know–from experience–that this can go in spurts). But then a coworker commented on a little belly, so I felt better about it. 🙂 Continue reading
Weeks 13-14
I sat on this post so long on week 13, I finally decided I’d just save it and post for weeks 13-14 together. It was a little confusing anyway because it depends on who you talk to whether the second trimester starts with week 13 or 14. But this way, I can without a doubt celebrate the beginning of the
