Week 5 Pregnancy Update

firstcomesfamily/ Pregnancy

Been carrying my little babe around for five weeks!! This was my first full week knowing that I was pregnant. We’ve processed the initial shock although it still feels surreal that we are finally pregnant. Something that we had planned many months for showed up within a month of being off of birth control.

They don’t warn you of the emotional roller coaster that you go through the first few days that you know you’re pregnant. I was completely overjoyed when I saw those lines cross on the test. My heart was beating out of my chest. We have felt absolutely over the moon this past week. I’ve felt so happy and complete. Also, the fact that you’re growing a human….freaking awesome.

 

Health

I am rather healthy, no history of diseases which could be seen as a complications. I do have poor circulation in the legs which something we will definitely monitor. Walking and exercises will help me keep the fluids flushed and my body limber to carry. I’m planning to exercise 3-4x week. I also have started taking my prenatals as well! I was on. Hormone balancing supplement for the past 4 months which contained enough folic acid for my new little babe.

 

Body

No size changes yet! Just feeling and looking a little bloated. Oh and super sore nipples and boobs! It’s crazy and actually the first symptom that made me think I was pregnant. I’ve had light and intermitent cramps everyday mostly at night. These are normal as it is the egg attaching to the uterine wall and growing. If these are to get stronger and more often then I would be worried.

 

Cravings

No cravings! I naturally have such a sweet tooth so I obviously had a few sweet treats. I actually find myself not hungry, probably because there is so much on my mind.

 

TIP: Take your prenatals! Folic Acid is extremely important to your little appleseed.

It helps the baby’s neural tube develop into their brain.

 

 

I am so excited to share how I’m feeling week by week with you all!

What symptoms did you have at 5 weeks?!

    To celebrate my birthday & Mother’s Day, we stay To celebrate my birthday & Mother’s Day, we stayed at @hammockbeach and it was the best! The resort is GORGEOUS and perfect for families! Let me give you a run down of what we loved:

🏠We stayed in the vacation rentals offered on the Hammock Beach property! It’s about 5 minutes down the road from the actual property but so worth it. We stayed in a 3bed/2bath with a full size kitchen, dining and living room. Every one comes with views on the beach, ours happened to have some of the golf course view as well. This part does also have a family pool, restaurant, adult pool, and little splash pad. Very family friendly!

🏊🏻‍♀️Pools at the main resort are awesome! We reserved chairs at the Family pool and Sand pool. (Recommend reserving chairs online bc they get PACKED) Family pool was our favorite. It also has a water slide and lazy River. Each pool does have poolside servers for bar/food which was helpful. 

🧖‍♀️The spa was great! They have eucalyptus steam rooms which is HEAVENLY. I had a pedicure, Swedish massage, and facial which I loved. 

🍝Restaurants were all delicious! We had Atlantic Grill for breakfast and Delfinos for my birthday dinner. Again, I recommend reserving ahead of time. Delfinos was delicious and extremely accommodating with the kids! 

We absolutely cannot wait to go back! 

✈️What vacations do you have planned this summer?!

    Seven months has been the most active age yet for Seven months has been the most active age yet for Baby Lee! He army crawls like no other, loves his mama like no other as well (I can attest to this bc he wants me to hold him 24/7😅), he’s working on getting on his knees to crawl and he can sit up now! 

I keep getting sad that we only have 4.5 months until he turns one 😩🥺

    Just a few outfits I’ve worn in the last month! Just a few outfits I’ve worn in the last month! Recently, I signed up for @nuuly which is a subscription where you rent 6 pieces of clothing a month! I decided to give it a try after feeling blah when it comes to style this time post baby. I figured this would be a good way to maybe find a new style or fashion without commuting to pieces before knowing if I like them! So far I love it and plan to do it for the next few days months! 

Note: The first outfit it from good ole @target ! Legit tank, shorts, shoes , and even bra 🤪 

⭐️Which outfit is your fave?! ⭐️
