Week by Week

34 weeks pregnant
33 weeks pregnant I didn’t take an actual “33 week” piccie, but I thought I’d include these piccies I took for Alexander, with the bottom image (in the grey top) being what I wore for my last combat class that night. I felt great that class and thought I probably had the energy to keep going, but that energy turned out to be short lived!

13 weeks pregnant I’m trying hard not to, but it’s getting really hard to come to terms with my change in body shape. I keep telling myself it’s for all the right reasons, but I still can’t help but feel a bit of dismay. My weight is something I’ve had to work hard for I guess (ever since the day I injured my back and put on weight), so it feels horrible to suddenly feel like I’m getting it all back again. But I know to do the right thing and there’s a baby growing. In 6 months time I know I can work hard at getting it all back again.
12 weeks pregnant ok something is definately happening now. Things are growing!
11 weeks pregnant Spot the difference?
10 weeks pregnant Feeling my first little of flutter of movement now. Feels very similar to wind, except in a different spot, directly where my uterus is. Other ladies tell me that it’s pretty early, but it sounds like it’s definately movement? Looking forward to my first ultrasound this week.
9 weeks pregnant I dunno if there’s any changes in this piccie, maybe belly looks slightly larger, but I definitely feel huge. But then, of course I’m feeling it more.
8 weeks pregnant Although this is the first photo I’ve taken for the purposes of this pregnancy, I feel like my stomach is already quite a lot larger than it was. I guess it’s probably not much baby yet, but there’s plenty of fluid and I’ve probably put on weight from the terrible crap food cravings I’ve had. I’ve decided I’m no longer putting bad food on the shopping list, since I’m used to be so healthy and losing control of my appetite is driving me crazy! My friends are all being quite nice and saying they can’t notice the difference, but see that little bit poking out? That wasn’t there before! Well, back to healthy food now, and Jo……….I don’t even want to hear about the next time you have icecream!
