#7weeks

Your first heartbeat ♥

Something about growing a little human inside feels so special. It heals my inner child. It's fills me with love. I look forward being a mother. ❤️

Our girls are old enough to start becoming egg layers! Swipe for comparison. 🐥🐔 #chicks #chickens #hens #eastereggers #7weeks #18weeks #layers #eggs #fresheggs https://www.instagram.com/p/CEfbMo4H2BT/?igshid=olalaa3ger24

Hey @traviemccoy - I miss you, boo. #fbf #7weeks

The bloat is strong. I am competent enough to know that none of this is baby but just let me post a “bump” picture ok 😭😭😭😭 I am struggling with the bloat. I am not making healthy choices. And I am terrified of gaining 70lbs like I did with Lowen. I’m starting at my lowest weight since before I had kids. With lowen I was at 155 and got up to 220lbs. With Ollie I am pretty sure I was around 175lbs and gained 35 putting me at 210lbs. I haven’t weighed myself since before Florida but I was around 163 when went in October. I’m assuming I gained at least 4-5lbs from the holidays. So I’m guessingggg I was around 167 a month ago. Right now I’m at 169.8. My goal is to follow the same trend I did while I was pregnant with Ollie. I ate healthy 70% of the time and I actually lost 4lbs the first trimester. I had only gained like 12lbs by 30weeks. It seems so stupid and trivial to focus so much on weight when you’re pregnant. But I have a tendency to overeat and use the eating for two thing a little too much. And I’ve already learned the hard way my genetics suck. I did not in anyway remotely “bounce back” after Lowen. It took almost two years to get to a good place after I had Ollie. It sucks being hungry alllllll the time. And whenever I’m pregnant water tastes off which is so annoying. Maybe I should prep out little snacks so I’ll stop reaching for convenient food when I’m “starving”. Other than that the Unisom and B6 at night has removed my nausea which is awesome. However I’m groggy almost all day. I’m thirsty and hungry all the time. This week I’ve been really into sweet foods. The extreme fatigue from weeks 3-6 has gone away. Now I’m just groggy from the Unisom. It helps me sleep a little better at night but I’m still waking up twice to pee.
