6 Weeks + 3 Days✨🖤
Not a huge milestone, but still a meaningful one: today I’m 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant. It’s still so early, but every single day feels like its own little chapter in this wild, amazing, and sometimes overwhelming story.
The biggest change lately? The symptoms have started creeping in, and honestly, I now understand what people mean when they say the first trimester is a ride 😅. Fatigue has fully entered the chat—some days, it feels like I’ve run a marathon just by getting through the morning. And the nausea? It’s been coming in waves. Not full-on morning sickness all day (yet), but definitely queasy moments, random food aversions, and some super weird cravings.
Emotionally, it’s a mix. I’m so thankful to be here, but it’s not without its worries. Early pregnancy feels like living between excitement and uncertainty. You want to fully embrace the joy, but at the same time, you’re trying to stay grounded, protect your peace, and take it one day at a time.
What’s been helping the most is slowing down and listening to my body. I’m learning how to be okay with rest, even if it means saying no to things I’d normally push through. Also: water, crackers, naps, and stretchy clothes are now my love language 💛
No big updates yet in terms of appointments or ultrasounds—I’m still in that early limbo phase where it’s mostly about waiting, taking care of myself, and hoping for the best. But even without major milestones yet, this stage deserves to be honored too. These early weeks are hard and beautiful in their own quiet way.
So for now, I’m just trying to stay present. To trust the process. And to appreciate the small signs of growth, even when they come with bloating and mood swings 😅
If you’ve been here before—early pregnancy, first trimester—you know how layered this part is. And if you’re walking through it now too, just know you’re not alone. 💛
Thanks for all the continued love, prayers, and check-ins. It really does mean more than I can say.
