Hello 3rd trimester
Well we made it to the 3rd trimester!! It honestly seems like time is flying by while taking its sweet time.
I am excited to officially be 2/3 of the way done but with everything going on, also feel like it’s a lifetime to go. This trimester has brought constant backaches, sciatica issues from my lower back down my leg, and numbness when trying to sleep. It’s also brought on real fear with these covid rates spiking 😬. And certainly last but not least the increased anxiety. I feel like I’m anxious all the time wondering what this pain or that pain means, counting fetal movement, making sure im doing the right thing, and stressing over getting the nursery/my house in order.
It’s honestly not all bad because I find myself excited about feeling my baby girl move more, nesting, seeing my sunflower nursery visions starting to form, receiving some early gifts from ppl, and even starting to plan my baby shower. I do mourn the fact that it has to be virtual and I can’t celebrate with family/friends in person but more interested in keeping everyone safe.
It balances out I guess. One thing is for sure, while I am very grateful for the opportunity to experience pregnancy and bring life into this world, baby girl might be an only child if yall waiting for me to get pregnant again LOL. So I need yall to help me in my search for finding some great cousin friends that she’ll be able to grow up with 🤣.
