Pregnancy Month 2: Definitely Pregnant!

Hi friends! I'm back again with a pregnancy update! I can't believe I'm already into the third month. It's going by so fast, and I haven't even been to the doctor yet! Because of Covid-19, I won't actually see my doctor (or my baby) until June. I have a tele-appointment at the end of this month, and hopefully after that they will be in person. While I know that it's best to be safe rather than sorry, I wish we could just see the doctor. It would put Josh and I at a little bit of ease, at least knowing the doctor doesn't see anything potentially dangerous. However, since we can't control this situation, we are pushed to trust Jesus more and have faith that Itty Bitty Beedy is growing healthy and strong.

(Maybe next update I'll have a bump?!)

Of course, I worry. Especially since I haven't kept this to myself, since we've bought clothes, and started our registry. I worry that in the end, it's just going to hurt, and that we won't get to hold our precious baby. I then just have to give it over to Jesus, and trust that whatever happens is His will. Whew. Being a mom is hard already.

Symptoms Weeks 4-8

Weeks 4 through 7, there was no doubt I am pregnant. Around week 5, symptoms kind of subsided and I was just a little more tired than usual. Week 6 to now, oh boy. Nauseous all day long. Thankfully, I haven't thrown up (yet) because I absolutely hate throwing up, but I am nauseous from after breakfast until bed time. The only time it gets better is when I eat (I have to coax myself into it). Food has remained tasting good, so I'm happy about that. But about 30-45 minutes after I eat, I'm sick to my stomach again! That's been fun. I'm super tired all the time, even when I get going and do stuff, it takes everything in me. Which I don't think my husband fully believes, haha.

Another thing that's been new is the sore breasts (I told you that I wasn't going to hold back). I have had this before because of PMS, but this is a whole new level of soreness. They hurt more than they've ever hurt in my life. It's crazy that my body is already preparing to provide nutrition for our baby!

The other night, I was getting ready for bed around 9:30 p.m., and I noticed a tiny night time bump! I know it's mostly food from the day, but even when I sucked in, it stayed there and was super hard. I got very excited, even though I knew it was going to disappear in the morning. It's made it's appearance a few times since then, but no bump yet. It almost scared me because I was like "What if it's here because I'm having twins?!"

I've continued to be an emotional mess, crying over every. thing. It's also been tough dealing with frustration, as all my emotions are just a lot bigger. My skin has been terrible. Which is a huge bummer, but it's okay. I think it's a mixture of stopping my regular skincare (due to unsafe ingredients for baby) and the surge of hormones my body is experiencing. My acne before has always been hormonal, and in the last 8 months my skin has finally really cleared up, until now. My breakouts are really bad, and I haven't found anything yet to help. Hopefully my doctor will have some suggestions.

I think that's all for month 2, I should keep better notes for the next month so I remember everything through the fog, haha.

32 weeks until our little love bug makes an appearance, I can't wait.
