I don't like being pregnant.
I'm happy I'm pregnant.
Nina is growing, I can feel her so strong and active. Yesterday, she was moving less and I worried. But today I feel the kicks much higher on my belly and not in the lower part of my uterus, she probably changed position, that's why maybe.
I always knew that being pregnant was going to be hard for me. It's hard to see my body change, it's hard to not feel energetic, to reduce the intensity of my training, hard to take less risks and change my lifestyle. Things are going pretty well for the moment, I'm lucky to have a healthy pregnancy so far, and to be able to train as much as I want/can. I can still bike, run, climb, ski, weightlift and practice yoga. I also did a flight at 4 months pregnant. No big complaints.
1st month
Is this true? Is this really going to happen? Are we going to be a family of 3?
We just did a test and it seems very positive. One try and we already conceived? What?
How do we confirm the home test?
Are you OK? Are you going to stay with us?
2nd month
What is going on with my body? I can't eat, move or stay awake.
Am I still myself? Is this going to last forever?
You seem to be OK, we heard your hearbeat. You are there.
Are you going to stay with us?
3rd month
Your chromosomes look healthy. I am not healthy, I'm sick every day.
I'm hating the pregnancy. I can barely get out of bed.
Where is my energy gone? Am I going to survive?
Thanks god Jérémie is with me.
4th month
I don't throw up anymore. I start to feel a human being again.
There is an extra volume on my belly that I can't hide.
We are going to have a baby. What?
Is this really happening? This is happening.
5th month
Your body formed correctly. We saw your face.
You are here Nina, you are going to stay with us.
We will take care of you, no matter what.
We dream together.

6th month
You grow, you communicate, you are impatient.
We are impatient. You start to have your own space, in our hearts, in our families, in our home.
My body is our body. Your movements are our joy.
We want to meet you.
We don't know exactly what nationality you will have, what language you will speak, where we will live, how you will connect with relatives here and there or how many worlds you will have. But we do know we will be a family of 3, solid, strong and bonded, a family that nothing and no one can break, a normal family that will live an extraordinary life on this planet.
I don't like the pregnancy.
I'm happy that I'm pregnant with you.
