I am 7 weeks 2 days pregnant today and weighed 157.8 this morning
I’m so exhausted. I haven’t been sleeping well lately. I wake up a few times during the night to use the bathroom and then I wake early and am not able to get back to sleep even though I’m absolutly dead tired. I have been falling asleep while playing with my boys. It really sucks because they get into EVERYTHING. Arg. Its very frustrating. I try to catch a nap during the day when my boys are asleep but even though I’m exhausted sometimes I just cant sleep, and I cant justify laying there when there is a ton of house work I need to catch up on. I remember in my other pregnancies near the end I slept horribly. I would wake up and have to go to the bathroom a few times a night and then it would be impossible to get comfortable again because of the size and weight of my big tummy. Pregnant women are encouraged to sleep on their left side, that for me was always a problem because my hip would actually fall asleep with all that pressure on it.

Ug! The morning sickness is getting old. Its really hitting me hard today. My whole insides feel like they are about to come through my mouth. Every time I talk I gag. Its hard dealing with the boys while gagging. I ran to the grocery store to buy a couple of items. I was looking for Altoids sour hard candies but the isle I checked out at didn’t have any and it was too late to go to another isle so I grabbed some ice breakers sours. They are okay, they did seem to settle my stomach a little bit but they aren’t really super sour. I’m trying to eat several small meals during the day because that’s supposed to help but it just isn’t helping a ton. I had some oatmeal today as an afternoon snack and that seemed to actually settle my stomach, but only for like an hour! I should be thankful I’m not throwing up, but I cant help but feel a bit miserable. This morning sickness is definitely keeping me from running. I did catch 20 minutes on the elliptical this morning- right after a snack with my son. I generally don’t like to exercise right after eating but its looking like that’s my only option at the moment

My morning sickness is hanging around, this is very different than the sickness I had with my boys pregnancies. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage and I never experienced any morning sickness of any kind at all. With my oldest son I threw up constantly and it really messed up my gag reflex for a while. With my youngest son I threw up a couple of times and rarely gagged. It was very mild. This time its just different. While I feel queezy its also a pain. Its very odd and very difficult to accurately explain. My stomach almost feels over full, like I just binged on huge amounts of food, even though Ive eaten almost nothing. So eating MORE is really hard to do, but that is what helps ease the queezy feeling. I’m having a really hard time dealing with it.

I am 6 weeks 6 days pregnant and weighed 158.0lbs this morning
My weight is up this morning but I’m not overly concerned. My weight always goes up for a day or two after a long run. I expect it to drop back to normal in a couple of days. I’m very very sore today, my lower back is a little sore but my lower abdomen is extremely sore. It doesn’t hurt to press on it but standing, walking or raising my voice makes it hurt more. It almost feels like I am being poked from the inside. I definitely am feeling a pulling on either side of my lower abdomen. I’m assuming its just round ligament pain. I thought for a little while perhaps I was getting a urinary tract infection, Ive never had one though so I really couldn’t say from experience so after googling symptoms it doesn’t seem to be my problem. My tummy is starting to stick out pretty good already. Ive felt a marked change in the size of uterus even over just the past couple of days.
I was able to catch a short nap today, I really needed it.

I am 6 weeks 5 days pregnant and weighed 155.5lbs this morning
Today my morning sickness was very mild and I had a good amount of energy! My husband took the boys to go play at the burger king playplace (he isn’t a ‘park’ type of guy) so I could run without interruption. It was very nice! I ran 5 miles while watching one of my favorite movies. My run felt good, no aches or pains. Afterwards I caught a quick lunch- a bagel with a couple pieces of sliced turkey breast and sliced cucumber, along with a big glass of milk and then I made three batches of soap, which went pretty smoothly as well. This evening my back started to hurt a lot, I have been lugging the boys around a lot. We drove 45 miles to go see some fireworks for Memorial Day and I ended up lifting the boys just too much. They are used to me helping them in and out of the car, up on the bathroom counter to brush teeth and lots of in and out of shopping carts. I don’t think Ill be able to do that much longer. My boys are 30 and 35 pounds each. When I was pregnant last time my oldest was only around 25 pounds and that was much more bearable
