Everyday Adventuring
It's been around four weeks since I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes (GD) so I thought I'd give an update as to how it's going! I got a referral from my midwife to go along to the GD Clinic at BC Women's Hospital for a total of six appointments over two days. The first day… Continue reading Gestational Diabetes Update
Health officials launched the Restart BC plans on Tuesday which have given us the steps out of the lockdowns and circuit breaker that we've been in since November (ish)! Vaccination bookings are now open to all aged 12+ across BC too, and I got my first shot this week. It's been a funny old ride… Continue reading Vaccinations and Lockdown Lifting!
I'm not usually one for opting in to a photo shoot, but I decided to book one with a friend for some maternity shots! I generally find being in front of a camera really awkward. When Tom and I got married, hiring a great photographer to capture the highlights of our day was really important… Continue reading Maternity Photoshoot
I've taken a few weeks detour of the "story" of my being pregnant so thought I'd jump back in. Going back to the day after finding out I was pregnant, when I had taken the digital dating test that put me at about five weeks pregnant... Here's the thing though, I now had these three… Continue reading So, you have a positive pregnancy test, now what?!
Back in June last year I shared that I would be starting an MA in Theological Studies in September, and my goodness time has flown since then! The entirety of the Masters is 60 credits, and I opted to take nine credits in each of my first semesters - this is the minimum requirement for… Continue reading End of Semester Two!
I'm writing this post at 25 weeks, so am actually looking back and reviewing all the symptoms I've had to date rather than gradually updating as each new symptom arises... which I will do if I get any more! I'm writing a separate post for food aversions/cravings, so check that out too! Symptoms I've experienced:… Continue reading Pregnancy Symptoms!
In the last blog, I took you through my pregnancy guilt, and my personal background of period chaos - this time it won't be as period-based. If you didn't read the last one, either check it out here, or here's the TL;DR story so far - I always had super irregular periods, was diagnosed with… Continue reading 22 months, 21 negatives, and a positive!
I spent about an hour recently on our balcony (I always want to say garden because it’s just ingrained in me, the same way I refer to our apartment as our house) sorting out all of our potted plants. It wasn’t a big job, we have plants lining the edges of the balcony predominantly because… Continue reading Lessons from a Balcony Garden
Pregnancy really is a rollercoaster of happenings. Each week seems to bring with it a wealth of new symptoms and food cravings/aversions are a common new occurance every few days. If I have any to add to the list in later weeks, I'll update it! Aversions Chocolate. Early on, I went completely off chocolate. Which… Continue reading Food Aversions & Cravings
I decided to dedicate a section on my blog to the story of our pregnancy - it's something I'd like to be able to look back on, and I figured maybe some other people might find it interesting too...
