Everyday Adventuring
Time is flying by at the moment, so I thought I'd do a general overview of the second trimester! I've shared some specifics of symptoms and food cravings/aversions in separate posts so you can read about those things there. My mum and sister bought me a My Bump & Me book to fill in as… Continue reading Second Trimester
One very exciting piece of information coming from this pregnancy, besides the obvious, is that I have been de-labelled penicillin allergic. When I was a kid I had an allergic reaction to penicillin so for the rest of my life I have had to write the allergy on forms, during school I wore a bracelet… Continue reading Penicillin Allergy No More!
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?!
I was surprised how early maternity clothing became a necessity for me! I was only about nine weeks pregnant by the time I started wearing only maternity jeans. To be fair, this did also come at month eight of the pandemic so... maybe it wasn't all pregnancy based! Ha... but for real, I got really… Continue reading Maternity Clothing
One of the regular blood tests pregnant women are offered in around week 23-28 is a gestational diabetes check. I am taking all the tests and following all the suggestions the midwives are giving so I moseyed on over to the blood clinic after my final exam of the semester. I have been using the… Continue reading Gestational Diabetes – Tests & Results!
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!
