WHAT WEEK?

9

HOW BIG IS THE BABY?

Size of a large cherry 🍒 (about 3.1 / 4g)

WHATS NEW THIS WEEK?

Vomiting.

And my skin has really broken out on my face with loads of little pimples (and high is so new to me).

I also bought a few baby clothes yay!😬😬😬 it was so surreal.

And I bought some wool to start crocheting a blanket

MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT

I’ve had a lot of IBS and the cravings have really made my stomach sore as I haven’t been eating much dairy throughout and it was a bit of an overload. Also, the mood swings have been quite frustrating.

MOST EXCITING MOMENT

I’m so excited about everything I just can’t wait to meet and hold my baby.

STARTING WEIGHT?

59kg

CURRENT WEIGHT?

56.3

EXERCISE?

Not much. Just walks at the park with the dogs and Trav.

MEALS?

My appetite has really come back and I’m starting to taste things more now.

I had a lot of bread (not too into salad at the moment) I’ve had anchovie toast (pic below) which was great with looooads of pickled onions

I also had a lot of ice cream (got a pistachio ice cream cone 🍦 which was amazing)

Also had an entire pizza one evening.

But for someone who hasn’t been eating any dairy, to go to all the pizza and ice cream, it’s reallly upset my stomach.

I really feel like chicken noodle soup.

Chocolate croissants.

FOOD AVERSIONS?

Still red meat, dairy, any rich foods...

CRAVINGS?

Salmon cream cheese bagels 🥯 lots of bagels!😍

ALL THE SWEET TGINGS... which is new.

Ice lollies! Lots🤣 especially chocolate ice creams.

My body doesn’t really like the sugar though because I can’t sleep well afterwards. But Ahh, cravings 🙈

Mac n cheese

Ooh and also Doughnuts 🙈 craving so many sweet stuff.... OH how the tables have turned haha!

Ooh and pickled onions!!!

I really have gotten a lot of my taste back🙈🤣

Mac n cheese

Chicken noodle soup

Sooo many cravings now but I can’t physically eat as much as I used to without feeling full of bloated 🙈

REFLECTIONS?

My baby has already taught me so much and healed me from within.

I used to have a bit of disordered eating, and I’d binge and restrict, and now with my baby in mind, I eat when I’m hungry, I stop when I’m full, I eat what I’m craving and I feel so free. I am obviously trying to be healthy but it’s no longer for me, it’s for this babe that I already love more than myself, more than anything. I eat and sleep, and live more intuitively.

If I just listen.... I can’t almost hear what the baby is saying, communicating, just through being. I can feel it. I can feel the presence and it has already forever changed me.

I always thought I understood pregnancy, but I don’t think you can ever comprehend what it’s like until you have a soul growing inside of you. I feel so lucky.

This baby feels so a part of me already. I am so protective, and so excited. I am just trying to soak up every moment and really stay present through it all.
