New Year, New Nielson

 Today I'm kicking off my Pregnancy Journal for Baby Number 2!
I am referencing the format from my pregnancy posts with EB...if you're interested, here is my first post from then.
TTC (Trying to Conceive):
I actually used an app to track my cycles this go around.  We feel lucky and blessed that this was another "easy" conception. 

Finding Out: 
I could literally copy and paste the same exact paragraph from my first pregnancy here.   Yet again, I tested early and got mixed results.  A faint line that made me cross-eyed and crazy.   See for yourself.
Do the arrows help?? ;)  Yet again, I waited a week and got a true positive.

Symptoms:
This go around, the symptoms kicked in right around 6 weeks, aka the beginning of November.  Having the first trimester overlap with the holiday season is not something I would recommend...

Severe nausea 
Sleep Trouble  It's hard for me to get comfortable and I'm up to pee often
Food Aversions  
Exhaustion  
Headaches I have had 2 TERRIBLE headaches this pregnancy so far, I do not remember anything this intense the first time.
Smell Sensitivity  I can smell a febreeze scented trashbag from a mile away, and it makes me want to gag. 


Sharing the News:
We told family right away, and waited until the first ultrasound at 8 weeks to tell friends!
Here's a snap from the 12 week scan.
We can't wait to find out the sex (soon! we just have to go and pick up the envelope from my OB) and to get rolling on the nursery and EB's big girl room.
I am 16 weeks and ready for that second trimester energy boost...any day now right?!
That's all for now, gotta go chase my 2 year old.
xoxo,
Laura

  1. “So I’m someone’s mom!” Welcoming our first child, Cecily Philips Donnell, at 12:24 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14. We are absolutely head over heels in love with Cecily, and parenthood is already the most insane and beautiful thing in existence, It's made me excited to have a little spitfire of a daughter of my own.

But at eight weeks, i had a miscarriage. i was so unhappy, until i seek help spiritually from a Dr Iya the herbal practitioner, who helps and guide me to get pregnant again, even at the trying times few weeks in April when i battled symptoms of the coronavirus including "a cough that makes it feel like my head is splitting open from the inside out, but luckily, the baby was okay with the doctors help. i am happy to finally be a mother, couples out there that needs help, trying to conceive a baby, contact my doctor on nativeiyabasira@yahoo.com , you will definitely have a baby to make you a parent.
