Week 13 Pregnancy VLOG, baby 4 by Teresa Palmer

WHAT WEEK?
13

HOW BIG IS BABY?
3 inches or about the size of a lemon.

WHAT’S SOMETHING NEW THIS WEEK?
It was Bodhi’s 7th birthday this week I cannot believe my first baby is already 7, it just blows my mind, where has the time gone? It’s funny to think I’m 6 months I’m going to have FOUR children seven and under. Many people have much closer age gals but for me 4 kids in 7 years is a lot and also my absolute dream come true!

MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT?
Mark and I have been a bit snitchy with each other. Just tired and not having enough time for each other, so easy to happen when you have 4 children with a fifth on the way (I’m including my stepson here). We need to take some more time out of our day to check in with each other, sometimes it feels like time just passes by in each day and we get to the end of the day and just collapse in bed!

MOST EXCITING MOMENT?
Getting out of the house, going on walks and going to the play area. It’s been so good walking around our neighbourhood again. Kids are getting used to wearing masks now and we just try and get outside every day.

REFLECTIONS?
I listened to bubbas heartbeat again today, it again took me awhile to find it and with every passing minute I can feel my heart beat faster from anxiety but eventually I find it. I know once I feel her moving more regularly I won’t need to listen each week, right now as a mama who has experienced loss it has been bringing me some comfort and peace of mind.
