WELCOME

Thanks for stopping by! Here I wrote openly about my life as a mommy to our miracle daughter Lilly, the struggles we went through on this journey to parenthood, the loss of our precious son and pretty much anything else that comes up. Feel free to look around, leave a comment or two, put your feet up and get comfortable :)

xo, Anne.

4 weeks




I'm writing this at four weeks six days and our sweet little baby is the size of a poppy seed. While I know baby is still so small I'm having a lot of bloating and have found myself trading my regular jeans for my yoga pants more often. I'm still having a lot of cramping, although it has slowed down over the week, I know cramping is normal during early pregnancy as my body stretches and prepares for the coming weeks but it still makes me worry. The exhaustion is unbelievable, normally I can stay up late and wake up early with no problem, lately I sleep almost a full 8 hours and still find myself having a nap at some point of the day. I've also been so moody, it seems like anything will set me off - I kind of cried over a game earlier this week haha. Oh, bathroom breaks are rediculous already, I can't even think of how bad it's going to be when baby is bigger. My chest is still so sore and my nausea while not horrible yet, does make its appearance at least a few times a day; seafood and peppermint seem to have been my worst this week. While my symptoms are annoying and I know they will likely get much worse as the weeks pass I am happy to feel each one and be reminded that our little baby is doing well. Milk seems to be a big favorite right now, almost everytime I go near the fridge I want milk or chocolate milk and even writting that made me want a glass. 

We told our families this week, I also told one of my closest friends, they were all so excited to hear our good news and I will post soon about how we announced to our families (and how I told hubby). I'm looking forward to so much at this point, I love seeing the days change on my phones app and watching the time between now and when we're holding our baby tick away - thirty five more weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing my obstetrician in two weeks, having bloodwork and the ultrasound done, getting that reassurance that everything is going smoothly for baby.
