My Body Week 12

Hey everyone, so sorry my weekly update is so late. My cousin Karsten and his wife went in to induce labor on Thursday and Chris and I have been trying to stay with them through the entire process. Their baby was finally due early this morning, a little after 1 am. Chris has some pictures and I know he is going to want to do a special post about the whole process so I want say much more. But I am finally getting some rest and have time to catch up.

This week we passed a huge milestone in our baby journey. We finally reached 12 weeks and the risk of anything happening has been reduced. Now it is all up to our genetics and stuff to be in line. Here is what babycenter.com has to say about week 12.

As for me:

I am getting a lot better now, just like all the books and shows promised (unless it is all just mental and I am only willing it to happen). I haven't been nauseous in some time and I have a little more energy. I could use a lot more energy but anything more is good for me now.

Most of the other annoying symptoms have disappeared but now I am left with a daily case of gas and heartburn. It gets progressively worse through out the day and after each meal. So if you want to catch me at my happiest, call me around 9am before I eat anything.

I also feel so RELIEVED! We finally shared our news with the world so no more secrets. And it is awesome to receive all the love and prayers from our friends and family. THANKS GUYS!!!

Peace Out,
Philippa Channer

My Body Week #11

Hey Folks! We have made it past another successful week and have only 1 more week before we can share our news with the world. Can't wait. I am excited at how things are progressing and I am so thankful that the first trimester is almost over.

Here is what babycenter.com has to say about week 11 of our pregnancy.

As for me I am starting to feel a lot better.

I am still sleepy but it isn't as bad. Most days I am still taking naps but it helps and I don't feel as tired throughout the day. I do get super exhausted really fast when I try to do stuff around the house though. But I know that the more I push myself the more I can take ... just like working out and exercising.

Haven't been nauseous in a while now which I just love. No vomit. Still light headed occasionally but nothing bad.

I am super duper gassy though, from both ends. Some days more then others (today is bad). It can be irritating at times.

Heartburn is starting to be a common thing also. Especially later on in the day close to when I want to relax and sleep.

Other then that, still enjoying the ride and can't wait to see what else is in store. Next doc appointment in 4 weeks, seems forever but I guess it isn't too bad.

Peace Out,
Philippa Channer
