Everyday Adventuring
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
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 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!
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 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...
