Week 5 Pregnancy VLOG, baby 4 by Teresa Palmer

WHAT WEEK?
5 weeks

HOW BIG IS BABY?
0.13 inches (the size of a poppyseed!)

WHAT’S SOMETHING NEW THIS WEEK?
Being pregnant! Oh boy this was a wonderful surprise. We found out on our 7th wedding anniversary and we were both in shock for a couple of days.

MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT?
I was nervous about how Mark would react actually! We had discussed having a fourth and even a fifth and sixth but we were thinking more towards the end of 2021, but instead, we were blessed with this divine timing. Getting pregnant in December gives us the age gap that we love 2 years 4 months, we always aim for around 2.5 years so this feels so beautiful.

MOST EXCITING MOMENT?
Seeing those two lines on the pregnancy test!! I tested at the local Tesco supermarket! This picture is straight after the moment I tested.

STARTING WEIGHT?
116.5lbs I started this pregnancy right about where I was when I got pregnant with Poet and when I was pregnant with Forest. I think this is my ideal “resting” weight. Where I don’t have to exercise much and I don’t diet, eat what I like plus breastfeeding!

CRAVINGS?
None yet!

REFLECTIONS?
Excited. Nervous. Hopeful. Anxious. Shocked. And feeling tremendously BLESSED above all else. We had a wonderful Christmas celebrating this new divine baby, Santa even bought the babe an octopus!
