A blast from the past
In contemplating a second pregnancy, I made the mistake of hunting down the handwritten journal I made during weeks 4-8 of my pregnancy with Maya while I was doing field work in Australia. I had no access to books or internet while I was gone, so I literally wrote everything in the back of a field notebook. I have transcripted the entries here for your *enjoyment*: 3 April 2013 - 4w0d Officially 14 dpo (minus half a day for the time change)! Two positive tests, no sign of period. No sore breasts, and no awesome pregnancy boobs :( Biggest complaint: BUSH FLIES. Earlier: was dizzy days 5-10 dpo, but much better now. Overall, I have felt great, although it’s not super easy acclimating to the temperature change. I am a swollen balloon and can’t get my wedding ring off. 4 April 2013 - 4w1d Third positive test! No longer ambiguous, line is much darker. Slight nausea all day, but overall, all is well! P.S. It is hot. 5 April 2013 - 4w2d Uber
