I am 9 weeks plus into my pregnancy now! While I am not going to diminish the great accomplishment that it is, I find myself increasingly anxious, and a bit annoyed. I am anxious to reach the end of the first trimester so I can relax about the baby easier! I also find myself a bit annoyed because I have had this expectation all along that I was a week further along than I really am, but the ultrasound proved me wrong. I know that I just have to be patient, and that a watched pot never boils.
In terms of how I am feeling, I seem to be on the upswing of things. The nausea is slowly dissipitating where I am now able to eat meals. Food however, still has no appeal to me but at least I find myself quite hungry and eating. My energy also seems to be improving somewhat, as I was able to get back to the gym on the weekend for a little bit of a workout, just to shake the cobwebs. Jonas, my own personal trainer, was with me and was able to show me some exercises to do for my upper half to keep me somewhat toned. Exercise is such a huge part of our lives that I am hoping to do as much of it as I can, within reason, during the pregnancy.
I really need to take some 'belly' shots, but not even sure when to take them! In the morning, my tummy still looks passably flat. I am still able to conceal my pregnancy to my co workers. However, at night, my belly is completely popped out and I swear I already look 4 months along! Jonas and I marvel at it every night, when I stand in front of him with my little belly sticking straight out. So now I feel that any pictures I take would give a false impression of how I really do look.

OMG, take them at night!! I wanna see that belly :). My Mum reads our blog, and sees my HUGE belly in the photos, and then she sees me in person and says, "It looks bigger on the blog!" I take them at night, with a full belly and a full bladder. Heehee :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the weeks going soooo slowly, I totally, totally know (the first 10 weeks went the slowest by far for me, and now I find it's going much faster). I cannot even imagine how frustrating to go backwards by one week -- you have every reason to feel antsy! xoxoxo
I was thinking of your pregnancy actually, and was amazed by how quickly the time seemed to fly! It didn't even seem that long ago when you told us that you were pregnant! I do think that the second trimester is going to fly by in a blink of an eye, so I should just enjoy it now!
ReplyDeletePictures to come soon, I promise. Maybe I'll take a morning shot and then an evening shot! But I think right now, I just look like I am in that 'in-between' stage where I just look like I am getting chubby! I don't have your beautiful baby belly yet :)
