I can’t wait till the 12th week to feel more confident in the baby “sticking” around and in telling people. Mind Feeling: Still adjusting to the idea. The belly is pretty much the same, but my breasts have already grown at least a size. The baby bump seems to be mostly gas! haha Britton has helped a lot when I just need to lay in bed because I am so tired. Photo Location: Trampa Rocks, Rincon Puerto Ricoīody Feeling: Still nauseous and very tired/exhausted. Most foods don’t sound good either, so I am having a hard time eating. 40 weeks sounds like a long time from now, but they give you 2 weeks straight away on the day you conceive so it’s really not that long!Ĭravings/Aversions: Alcohol thankfully does not sound good at all since because of the nauseousness I feel like I am hungover all the time.

My body doesn’t look that different and since we have tried so long to get pregnant, I am still trying to wrap my mind around it. Mind Feeling: It still doesn’t seem real to me. Photo Location: Steps Beach, Rincon Puerto Ricoīody Feeling: Starting to feel nauseous and knock-me down tired as if I was drugged with Benedryl The doctor is very excited as are we! We have been going to him trying to conceive for about 2 years, so this was great news! He ordered the first blood tests and everything so far looks good! I am forever grateful to our doctor -Edgardo Gonzalez Romero- who has helped us through each step of this pregnancy! We’ve gone to our first doctor appointment right around 6 weeks after we found out from our home test.

The baby is still considered an embryo and is only the size of a kidney bean. I feel like I am already showing at 8 weeks, but it’s probably just bloat. Growing a baby is slow and steady and before you know it, the tiny “apple seed” baby of a 6 week pregnancy is a 40-week watermelon! Having a baby is always a life-changing event, and having it in a land that is much different from your homeland is even more so! I thought it would be fun to document the process, Rincon/Puerto Rico style! Every 2 weeks we go out and take Beach Baby Belly Bump pictures to see the progress of the pregnancy. In February 2018 we found out we were going to have a baby! Kid Kauffman will be born sometime in late September, early October 2018 (just in time for hurricane season again!).
