Sleep? No problems, just really tired all the time.
Symptoms? Exhaustion
Food cravings? None
Food aversions? Leftovers
Labor signs? --
Belly button in or out? In
What I miss? Not feeing exhausted all the time
What I'm looking forward to? Telling immediate family soon
Milestones? We found out at 10dpo. I took the test before hopping in the shower right before bed. When I got out, there was an obvious line. I couldn't believe it!
High? Finding out
Low? Such a long wait until our first appointment at 12 weeks
Bump? Just some bloating, no bump yet
We are overjoyed to be pregnant again after a difficult year. Knowing the reality of pregnancy loss does make this one a little more difficult and, at the same time, more wonderful. We realize that this child is with us right now, and it is easier to appreciate, knowing that we cannot take one day for granted.
It was a challenge for me to truly give myself over to the pregnancy. I was, on some level, trying to protecting myself from the possibility of loss. But I know that it isn't possible to keep myself from the pain of something happening during this pregnancy. Now that I've been able to open myself up completely, I am feeling excited and hopeful, and mostly grateful that I get to be with our child for the moment. What a beautiful time pregnancy is meant to be.
