Pregnancy: Week 6
Hi Everyone! Happy Thursday!
I'm 7 weeks pregnant today...yay!
I don't really remember feeling quite this way with my other pregnancies, and maybe it's because I've had some scary things happen, but I already feel so incredibly attached to this baby. Before this week, I was kind of wanting all the medications I'm on to end and already looking forward to not being pregnant anymore, but now...I don't know...I feel like every day I get to be pregnant with this baby is such a gift and all the meds that I hate and all the restrictions are good because it means I'm pregnant. I just really really really don't want anything bad to happen...
In other news:
- If you haven't seen it already, check out my notes from my first OB visit
- Having some tiredness but not too bad
- Having nausea for sure but again not too bad. Keeping food in my stomach seems to help. And it's not totally debilitating like all I can do is lay on the couch like it has been in the past
- My new OB asked me to start following the diabetes diet now, since I had gestational diabetes last pregnancy. My husband and I plan our menus a week in advance so I'm not doing the diet 100% yet, but I will. It's kind of hard to do just from a meal planning/organizational perspective, but I know it's the healthiest thing for me and the baby, and also I lost all the weight from my last pregnancy and I think part of what made that possible/not too terribly difficult was eating that good diet/not being able to indulge in sweets while pregnant, you know? So it's a good thing all around
Think good thoughts for me and Freezy! :)
XOXO
