Hey guys, it's Sam here. So if you haven't heard already... we're pregnant!
This is crazy to me right now.
So, currently, I'm three weeks and -- well according to my estimation, I'm about three weeks and six days pregnant
So I know it's kind of super early to find out. We actually found out about three or four days ago when we were back in Croatia
and
Yeah, it's just crazy I can't believe I'm filming this video right now. We're just over the moon. We're so excited. We're so thrilled
But at the same time it is pretty nerve-wracking because you just never know what could happen
So I just wanted to kind of touch on sort of how I've been feeling this week, what my symptoms were, how this pregnancy is going
So the first symptom -- the first indication that I had as to, that I might be pregnant
Was I had really sore boobs.
So I know a lot of women around PMS, that's a symptom that they always get, but I don't normally get that
So for me that kind of almost immediately indicated that I'm probably pregnant
So I started having those symptoms really early on about two to three days DPO (days past ovulation)
so just anything that would push against me like it would really hurt
Another symptom that I was having around the same time, I would say four, five or six DPO
was I would wake up in the morning and I would be extremely hungry
It felt as if I hadn't eating for like a month and I just had to eat
I've never felt that extreme hunger before
And it was really weird because even when I would prepare a huge breakfast, I wouldn't necessarily eat a big portion
It was just -- I just had this immediate extreme craving for food.
and along with that I was also a lot more thirsty. So my water intake almost doubled or tripled as well
and of course that also led to having to go to the bathroom more often
So I'm not sure if that was -- if going to bathroom more often was a pregnancy symptom I was having per se
but it definitely could have been just because of my water intake was much higher than normal
Some other symptoms, I know there was a few more
You guys I'm having pregnancy brain. It's a real thing.
I usually don't forget stuff
Oh yeah, another symptom I had was I would have really weird dreams.
So I usually don't dream
but for some reason last week, I've just been having these really vivid dreams
and they're really weird like kind of like a fantasy (sci-fi) like --
It just -- it's really really weird. I don't even know how to explain it
But yeah, I normally don't wake up remembering dreams or knowing that I dreamt
but this time I was having these weird dreams and I would wake up remembering what they were.
Yeah, so far I think those are kind of the biggest symptoms that I've been having even before the big fat positive
Those are some symptoms that I felt
So yeah
I'm over the moon. We're so excited
We recorded when we found out, so I'll have that linked below.
So check it out if you want to know the moment, we found out that we were pregnant
So if you guys have been following it for a while, you'll know that my husband and I we took about six months off
to travel around the world
So we actually found out we were pregnant in Croatia
And it's really nerve-wracking because we're currently in Spain now and just finding a doctor and communicating with people. It's really challenging here
We find that not a lot of people speak English, so
It's just -- it's kind of -- it's really nerve-wracking how this whole process is going to go
Our initial plan was to stay in Europe until September, kind of staying in Spain as a homebase
Because my parents do have a place here , so it's really easy for us to stay here
So that was our plan.
But of course we want to go to the doctor, make sure everything is okay with this pregnancy
And everything is kind of up in the air as to whether we go back to Canada early or what we're doing
But for now, we're staying put here in Spain
We've just decided we're gonna go to a hospital to see a doctor because we don't know how else to get a doctor
and yeah, just make sure everything is okay with the baby
So if you guys are trying to get pregnant or if you're already pregnant or we're kind of on the similar sort of pregnancy timeline
I'm gonna be posting updates
Just letting you guys know how I'm doing, what symptoms I'm having how my doctor appointments are going
The whole experience of being pregnant in a foreign country and how that all is going
Yeah, other than that we're trying to stay really positive
I know for those of you who are trying to get pregnant. Sometimes it does take quite a while. It can be challenging
and definitely our experience has been a bit of a difficult one
I don't really want to get into all the details right now because I do want to stay positive
I just want to push all the negative stuff aside until I'm ready to talk about it
But yeah, just stay positive
It's all in God's hands
eventually it'll happen for you. I mean it happened for us and we just feel so blessed and so lucky and
we're just hoping for the best. We're praying that everything is okay with this pregnancy
and just leave it in God's hand at this point.
So yeah, so I guess our task for this week is to go to the hospital
and maybe see if it's even possible to get an early scan
and check that everything's okay with the baby
and then we'll check in and give you guys a update on how things are going
