Slow and steady.

So here we are at 10 weeks 2 days. The end of the first trimester is fast becoming reality - not fast enough really, if you ask me.

Weeks 6-9 Sx:

1) F.A.T.I.G.U.E

Once I get home from work, I have a nanna nap, wake up for dinner and flop infront of the couch - feeling too tired to do anything. It's been a point of ahem, discussion..with the hubs as he ends up picking up the slack around the house ie - dishes, laundry, general upkeep. But try as I may, I just cannot muster enough energy to do more than the needful.

His response - stop work. Like..right.

2) Bloating.

In my mind, I know I am still too early to be showing - but on most days, I feel huge. It feels like Im carrying around all this extra weight in my mid-section and it is most uncomfortable. I have yet to put on any weight, so am pleased about that  - but the extra roll around my waist is there!

3) Spotting.

We had a repeat of this episode - only for a day, thank goodness - at the end of week 8. Funnily enough, it was on the same day that we had the dating scan. Freaked me out enough to make me take a sickie the next day to just rest.

And somewhere, in the midst of it all, we got to see bubs again. (we had an early scan when I was spotting earlier). Heartbeat - tick. Correct spot - tick. Growth - tick. 

Funny how it takes sight to confirm what I already know in my heart.
