Calling all mummies!

Did you have morning sickness? If so, when did it start?

At the minute my HUGE boobs and tiredness are my biggest signs that the little guy is in there, absolutely no m/s what-so-ever. I know ok only 5w1d, but I need to worry about something, right??

Obviously no m/s = no baby. Duh

Settle my crazy mind you lovely people

5 weeks

...the bloat is real

We did it!!

5w-1d

Today is 4w6d pregnant, but I'm so excited to reach a number that isn't 4 that I'm cheating and classing it as 5weeks - 1 day. Makes perfect sense right?!

As far as I'm aware I'm still pregnant :) cramping had continued on and off but no spotting or bleeding. Boobs are now the size of a small house and very painful. No sickness yet, but I know it's still so early. Having said that, as I'm laid in bed typing this I don't feel too great.

Today is the day that this littles ones cardiac contractions should start...that's both reassuring and terrifying.

It feels like a lifetime until our first ultrasound 8 days away and I'm starting to panic that we'll get there and they'll find it's all been a huge mix-up and there's nothing in there.

One more day

We've made it one more day.

Keep growing. Be healthy.

Goodnight.

Goodnight Ritual

For the past 5 nights when we've crawled into bed (at an unreasonably early hour as I'm exhausted by 9am and napping during the day) we've taken to looking at each other and saying "we've made it another day". Then Martin kisses my belly (or sometimes my pubic bone but I don't have the heart to tell him) and say "keep growing, be healthy". Only then will be go to sleep.

I have a long weekend this coming weekend as we're going to a music festival - yeah you read that right. In my defence the tickets were booked in November. I'm excited to go and it'll take my mind off of it for the weekend, I have an irrational fear that the music will somehow vibrate baby out, but apart from that I'm not too worried. We're there for 3 days but have a lovely hotel booked for each night, plan on going back when tired, getting a good nights sleep and breakfast before heading back to the festival site, we're going to drive in every day, stay at the back of the big crowds and sit in the sun and relax where possible.

Let's hope at 5w2d pregnant nausea doesn't decide to make an appearance! I don't really relish the thought of spending longer than needed in a festival toilet...

4w2d

With every single day that passes I feel a little calmer - athough I'm certainly not under the impressions we're even half way out of the woods.

Cramps are still here but fading some what, they're particularly bad on the evenings or when my bladder is full. Apart from that not much, boobs are any more painful than they were 5 days ago and no other glaring symptoms.

I feel good :)
