Hello Baby

We’ve recorded an episode every week of our pregnancy, and will be sharing a new episode weekly. This way you can come along on this journey and learn right along with us.

We’re going through so many changes in our bodies and seeing how different our lives are going to look in just less than a year. Again, in my opinion, these feelings and thoughts are totally normal, especially for us first timers.

While we’re talking about this episode, do any of you have this crazy fear of vomiting like I do? It’s a very real fear that gives me serious anxiety when I start to feel nauseous. Let me know in the comments section below! Also, let me know if your husband had pregnancy symptoms along with you.

Exploring body image and my own sex drive during pregnancy.

Chatting about all the different methods for guessing the gender. I want to know… Have any of you had luck or found one theory over the other to be more effective? I’ve seen a lot of believers in the Ramzi Theory, the heart rate count and the forehead slope. Wondering what y’all think about these!

Hearing that I have another cyst is probably not surprising.

It’s a follow up to the cyst debacle and life at 12 weeks pregnant.

We’re covering week 13 of pregnancy.

So we are officially official with the second trimester claims! I rate my first trimester as a F, but Matt thinks it’s not as bad I do. Easy for him to say!

If you’re following along on Hello Bump Podcast, then you are already very filled in on my first 15 weeks of pregnancy.

The wait is OVER! We’re finally revealing Baby Lanter’s gender today!

Also in this episode, Matt expresses his disdain (yet again) for my beloved pregnancy pillow. My snoogle has helped so much with my hip and lower back pain, and he gets that part of it. It’s just that the pillow literally is the great divide in our bed, lol. I also chatted about the compression socks I wore for flying.
