I am apparently horrible at blogging - between journaling to the baby, updating Facebook, filming/editing/putting up videos, and trying to update my 3 blogs, all while caring for a crazy 19 month old and a growing belly, my days are long and busy!! I am 19 weeks 1 day today, and let me just say, it's been a great week <3 One think I've been loving this week is a new photo editing app, PicLab, where these beautiful babies were made: And waiting in anxious anticipation for our anatomy scan, which was on Wednesday, March 25th. The things I felt most while waiting for this scan have been: 1) I can't believe it's here already, I remember beginning to plan the gender reveal and putting in the requisition for the scan, and now it's here! I feel like my entire pregnancy (and even before) I have been waiting for this stage of pregnancy, 17 weeks and beyond, where I begin to feel movement, my fiance could feel movement, we see the baby (so much bigger than at o...

Hello, and Welcome to the Pregnant Doula - I can't believe I haven't updated since before 13 weeks! I'm 14 weeks 5 days today, and am getting closer to showing and feeling Baby Bug move all the time, I'm so excited! First of all, I did put up at 14 Week update on my Youtube channel, The Pregnant Doula. This has been the best week yet, I felt movement  and got a video of the heartbeat at our midwife appointment that day which is at the end of the update. I think I'm getting much more confident in front of the camera and as of today I have 22  Subscribers, 765  Views, and 1,585 Estimated Minutes Watched - Wow!

Hello, and welcome to The Pregnant Doula! I am halfway through my 12th week of pregnancy (11 weeks 4 days today), but I figured I would make a belly comparison up to this point and do a little "up until now" symptom, weight gain, and appointment catch up post! No belly yet! Which should be expected, but I was really hoping to start showing earlier with this Little Bug. I can't wait for a beautiful belly, feeling kicks, knowing their name and preparing for birth! For now, I just feel like I'm passing time and enjoying all the nights I have left to sleep on my belly.  Symptoms By Week:  Week 4 (before we knew/as we found out) ~ Overly tired, comfort eating, moodiness, mild cravings, gassy, mild heartburn, constipation, achy back, bloating, nausea when smelling our niece's formula.
