I needed this 😓I used to work at Sephora and do my hair and makeup all the time. I got promoted to a new position a few weeks before finding out I was pregnant and I feel like I’m letting myself go! I’ve worn the same shirt for 5 days straight because I don’t have the energy to do laundry and my kitchen is a mess because I’ll gag if I try and do the dishes. My husband is probably sad because I’m literally not myself anymore and probably won’t be for a while but I know it’s so worth it and it’ll all be okay 💕
Literally growing a human.
I’m 10 weeks 2 days. My head hurts so bad. I’m terribly nauseous all day long. I never have an appetite whatsoever & some days, I can’t explain it but I just don’t feel good. Don’t feel normal. Don’t feel like me. I don’t put effort into my hair or nails anymore. Grab the 1st clean thing from the pile of unfolded laundry.
The other day while driving I was beating myself up kind of bad. Telling myself I must need to eat better. I must need to rest more. I shouldn’t just feel this crappy all the time.
Then some little voice whispered in my head, “You’re literally growing a human. An entire person. A brand new human being. A new life.”
After I had half a second to panic 🤣 I realized it’s true in ways I just never thought of. My body is working so very hard to grow this baby, and give it what it needs. Plus this is something my body has never done before.
Thankfully I’m officially on summer break from teaching & can get all the rest I need. But if there’s anyone else out there like me feeling like they’re slacking or not doing enough while being pregnant, YOU ARE. Grow that baby, girl. That’s more than enough.

When I was pregnant with my first I would always look at what's growing this week and tell myself:"Just growing a central nervous system this week, take it easy on yourself!""Bones in the hands and feet are hardening this week, take it easy on yourself!"Doing it again with this pregnancy 😊
