We’ve made it into the third trimester people and in a few short weeks (like starting next week) we will officially be on baby watch! The amount of anxiety and sheer relief I have is absolutely wild and hard to contain to be honest. I still fear labor just as much as I did the first go around, probably even more now that I no longer have naivety or ignorance on my side LOL but there is also a sense of pure relief because I can’t even begin to explain how over being pregnant I am.
So without further ado, here are the little thoughts that I’ve jot down in my phone the past few months.
+ body aches and pains are at an all time high
+I’d like to control my own bladder again, hopefully soon
+out of breath always
+ I want a deli sandwich and sushi asap
+ I miss sleep and not constantly tossing and turning like a rotisserie chicken all night
+ I miss being skinny (please don’t be triggered by this, I just honestly do and cannot wait to go for a run again)
+ I miss my skincare routine
+ I miss being able to bend over to do the most minuscule tasks- like picking up trash when I inevitably miss the bathroom trash can
+ constantly wondering if my water broke
+ thinking baby boy might literally break one of my ribs pretty soon (he is definitely not as gentle as my darling baby girl was when she was in the womb)
+ is that another braxton hicks contraction or the real thing?
+ have not scheduled a maternity photo session and am actually kinda not wanting too? (which I also feel a little guilty about, poor little dude)
+ first birthday party theme is already locked and loaded (yes, I’m aware I am some special sort of crazy 😉 )
+ weekly OB appointments are the worst and the best at the same time? It’s like a countdown each week that I enjoy but also, getting out of the house is a mission
+ shit, we really need to finish the nursery
+ officially working remote until due date and I am loving it!
