Pregnancy update!!!

It’s been a hot minute since I popped on here to talk about my pregnancy journey!!

Lately I’ve been struck down with horrible morning sickness-ALL DAY sickness. But no matter how down bad I am, I haven’t thrown up. Honestly there were times where that’s all I wanted to do, because it may have let me feel better!! But I could only suffer through it. It made me completely lose my appetite, and I wasn’t eating as much as I should.

Then, Sunday I was struck with a horrible cold, which I’m pretty sure was the 24 hour flu. I didn’t eat all day besides a few crackers and 2 pieces of toast around 6pm. I can’t even begin to describe the pain that I had throughout my body but mainly down my spine. I was screaming and sobbing!! But luckily my boyfriend was home and took very good care of me🥰

The next day I woke up ready to rock and roll!!! I feel like a whole new person! I ate a Big Mac with medium fries last night for dinner and AGAIN today for lunch😅 I’m easing back into eating so I’ve only had one meal today-I know everyone I should be eating a lot more but I don’t want to go back to being THAT sick again.. and I feel full all the time. Is that normal???

I had my first ultrasound last Wednesday, and got the official answer on how far along I am! Tomorrow I will be 9 weeks!!💝 experiencing the first ultrasound with my boyfriend was so magical and definitely something I will never forget. Seeing him looking in aw at the life we created was such a pure moment. I wish I could have bottled it up and kept it forever.

I have a 10 week ultrasound next Wednesday just as a little check up to see how baby is progressing. So far baby is looking beautiful and has such a strong heartbeat!! 165bpm to be exact!!! (We’re hoping it’s a good sign for a boy)🩵

Has anyone used these prenatals that I got?? I switched because my other ones were making me feel sick to my stomach. They said to take on an empty stomach and I noticed if I ate them AFTER I ate I felt fine but if I took the BEFORE I ate I felt horrible, even after I ate. So I’m switching to see if maybe my body just didn’t agree with the kind I got!!
