Pregnancy calendar starting now


I decided to start writing my own little pregnancy calendar here between other posts. I'm annoyed now I hadn't thought about this sooner, but well better late than never :) Sadly I've still been so tired during evenings, so I don't think the pics of me would look very cheerful, LOL, but here's a pic we took just when revieling the news in my dear group WGF! That was taken 17th August. Now I don't think my tummy was THAT big - it's mostly just bloatness, but of course I wanted to show off, LOL!;)

WEEKS 0 - 15 (= until 14+6) 26th May - 7th September

Our lives went up side down when I found out I was pregnant!:D Symptoms I've been having during the past months are following:

- tiredness !!!! ABSOLUTELY SO AWFUL! It was good I had 3 week summer break in July, don't know how I'd had made it without it... probably had to take sick leave! Still feeling tired, but not so badly anymore. Hangover feeling is finally starting to pass... and the last drink I had was early June :D
- bloatness feeling after eating and esp. during evenings
- dizziness
- needing to pee often, this has passed quite well by now too :)
- terrible headache attacks couple of times or just annoying headache that has come and gone...
- pinching feeling esp. in lower abdomen
- sore boobs and bigger nipples that seem to stand on their own sometimes :D
- nauseous feeling (this is over thank god and I didn't need to throw up at all, phew!)
- nauseous feeling if I don't eat on regular basis. Eating has become my new hobby :D
- terrible mood swings :( from annoyed feeling to tears and pure anger :((
- pressure feeling in lower tummy
- hunger all the time even I've just had a big lunch or dinner!
- back ache

During the past 2 weeks I've felt funny somedays in my tummy. Like a butterfly moving and suddenly someone touching the skin of my stomach, but still don't know if it's bowel movements or Little One... terrible anxious to feel the first kicks!!
And how's the baby doing?
"Fetal development in pregnancy week 15: Your nearly four-inch long gymnast is happily mobile inside your womb and if you're really lucky, you’ll notice a point when your sneezing, coughing or laughing results in a little kick here or a poke there. Still, many women don't feel anything until the 17th week or later. Although the poking and kicking isn't very charming during sleeping hours, it’s a good sign as it means your baby is actually reacting to outside events. Yay! You’ve got yourself one active healthy baby! Their little elbows and knees are bending more freely this week and their little legs are finally growing longer than their arms and getting pumped up for prenatal Richard Simmons. Many of their major organ systems are increasing in capacity—particularly that amazing tiny heart and complex circulation system, which is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood per day, and will increase to a very impressive 200 quarts per day by the end of the pregnancy. As far as hair goes, we’ve got some new scalp patterns beginning to develop on the head, although actual head hair is not yet present." (www.baby-gaga.com)
