A few things I’ve learned so far

14 weeks! and the baby is the size of an orange

  1. At first, when your bump is growing, it feels more like you are harboring a muffin top instead of a bebe.
  2. EXHAUSTION usually wins. Sleep is my best friend.
  3. The first check-up at 8 weeks is a long one. For all check-ups, be ready to feel vulnerable.
  4. The list of foods-to-avoid gets ever so long.
  5. It is good to do research and get recommendations on OBYNs and hospitals. It’s okay feel lost at first.
  6. Tears come more readily.
  7. I can’t eat green spinach anymore.
  8. Pre-natal vitamins are gross.
  9. Worrying about what’s going to happen to my body is totally normal.
  10. It IS possible for me to go to the bathroom more than I usually do!
  11. It is fun going through this with husband.
  12. This is kind of an adventure.

  1. can you write down EVERYTHING you're learning and put it in an easily read list for me later in life?
    please and thank you :)
    thank goodness there's progression to a baby being born, right now you're imagining an orange size baby seems "manageable" doesnt it?
    lots of sleep and rest c!
