12/13 week pregnancy update

I was supposed to write this update on monday but life happened so I'm now writting a 12/13 week update instead. We are a few days away from Christmas and after a very good 12 week scan, I'm so ready to celebrate with family and friends. We have a lot of holiday parties coming up in the next week and a half so it will be very busy but very fun.

How far along: 12 weeks and 5 days

Total weight gain: after being sick a lot I'm now starting to gain some weight back and I'm a little over 1 kilo less than I was before I got pregnant.

Maternity clothes: Not really but my jeans are starting to get uncomfortable when I'm sitting all day. I'm at the point where maternity jeans are too loose and normal jeans are uncomfortable. So I bought a really nice Boob design nursing and maternity dress to wear during the holidays. They have a great sale on if you need some beautiful, good quality nursing or maternity clothes.

Stretch marks: None so far

Sleep: I have been sleeping well but I'm still tired a lot.

Best moment of this week: The 12 week scan. Everything is going really well.

Miss anything: Not really

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: Nothing new this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Inhave to eat lots of little things all day because I feel sick as soon as I'm hungry.

Have you started to show yet: Yes, A lot more than with Luke at 12 weeks but they say that's normal with a second pregnancy.

Gender: Don't know

Labor sign: Nope

Belly button in or out: In

Happy or moody most of the time: Very happy

Looking forward to: The holidays

9 week pregnancy update

This week hasn't been the greatest week... I have been very sick. I have had a cold for about 2 weeks now and the last week I have been in so much pain. I first thought I had an infected tooth but I'm now thinking it's probably a really bad inflamation of my sinus. The complete right half of my face is in so much pain it's difficult to concentrate on anything else. I hate having to take medication while pregnant even if the doctor says it's ok but right now I have to take some pain medication and antibiotics to get this under control.

How far along: 9 weeks and 2 days

Total weight gain: Because I'm still sick and now in so much pain I'm still 2 kilo's less then when I got pregnant

Maternity clothes: Not yet but I am starting to show already

Stretch marks: None so far

Sleep: Luke has been sleeping a lot better this week and we hace a new amazing bed. The pain makes it a little harder to fall asleep but I'm so tired I do fall asleep eventually.

Best moment of this week: my friends babyshower, she is due in about 8 weeks.

Miss anything: I miss feeling good and being able to run the house properly

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: I only kind of enjoy food that's bad for me like fries, pizza and chips...

Anything making you queasy or sick: being hungry makes me sick

Have you started to show yet: A little bit

Gender: Don't know

Labor sign: Nope

Belly button in or out: In

Happy or moody most of the time: I haven't been in a good mood this week.

Looking forward to: Luke's first birthday next week!

As I'm posting this I'm already 12 weeks along but I will do a bigger update next week after my scan

Here we go again - 8 week pregnancy update

It looks like our life is about to get very interesting... I'm pregnant again 😄! After we had Luke we knew that we wanted our children to be close in age. About a year and a half apart seems perfect for our family. It will be a busy few year but we are excited for our children to play together and hopefully become best friends.

I have just had my first scan at 8 weeks and my due date will be 01/07/2016. Luke will be about 19 months when his brother or sister arrives. I really want to document this pregnancy here so I'm going to start now with my 8 week update. This probably won't go up for a few weeks though (we still have to tell some people first).

How far along: 8 weeks and 1 day

Total weight gain: I have actually lost about 2 kilo's because I had a stomach flu and some "morning" sickness

Maternity clothes: Not yet but I feel like I will need them sooner this time around

Stretch marks: None so far

Sleep: Luke is quite a bad sleeper so I'm not getting nearly as much as I need

Best moment of this week: my first scan, seeing the heartbeat

Miss anything: I miss enjoying food and wanting to cook. Right now my stomach feels really small and I don't feel like eating much let along cook a nice meal.

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: I only kind of enjoy food that's bad for me like fries, pizza and chips...

Anything making you queasy or sick: this week has been better. Last week everything made me sick.

Have you started to show yet: A little bit

Gender: Don't know

Labor sign: Nope

Belly button in or out: In

Happy or moody most of the time: That changes a lot 😊

Looking forward to: Luke's first birthday!
