I’m now 14 weeks, so here’s my survey questions and answers:
What’s new with the pregnancy? I’m already in maternity clothes. I can’t fit in about half of my normal pants, and shirts are starting to get a little short / tight. Plus stretchy maternity pants are way more comfortable.
Milestones: We survived the first trimester!
How is eating going? It’s ok. I don’t have much of an appetite in the evenings, and I’m kind of picky on the food I eat. I’ve been eating a lot of pretzels with cheese and potatoes. Those, and donuts are currently some of my favorites. I know…healthy, right? J I’m trying to drink a lot of water, but it’s tough. I don’t have much of a taste for water.
How is sleep and energy? This is pretty rough. I’m waking up every 1-2 hours at night. I wake up really thirsty, but having to go to the bathroom. I go to the bathroom, then drink a lot of water, then do it all again an hour or 2 later. Energy isn’t very high either. I am tired, especially in the evenings. Thankfully, Nick has been great in helping with dinner, dishes, and kids in the evening. Maybe the 2nd trimester will be a little easier?
How much weight have you gained? Maybe a pound. Not much yet, but my appetite has not been very good. I do have a small bump, but no weight gain.
What are you unsure about?
- Will we find out the sex of the baby?
- How am I going to handle 3 kids while Nick’s at work?
- How are we going to rearrange the house, so the office is now on the main level or in the basement?
What are you most excited about? There are lots, but here are a few: little baby snuggles, seeing the personality of baby #3, seeing how Bryson and Mya do with another baby, time off from work, baby wearing, getting some energy back (maybe someday), new baby smells, summer walks with the 2 kiddos.
