I've finally/already made it to the third trimester! Pregnancy is a weird thing. It goes so slow yet so fast at the same time. With Emma's pregnancy, the third trimester was definitely the hardest. She was so low and her head was fixed for a long time... and everything was HEAVY. I couldn't walk, and understood very quickly why pregnant women waddle! ;)
This pregnancy every trimester has had its hard points, whereas with Emma's it was only "hard" the last few months (thank goodness! it was such a good pregnancy!). This time 'round I did have a lot of morning sickness the first trimester and in the second trimester I had pelvic pain, which was new to me. Luckily the pelvic pain has gone away for the most part! I can actually get off the couch without being in pain! What a great feeling :) I'm enjoying this time where I feel great before things start to get heavy again. I try to not complain too much, because I try to have a good perspective that I have a good pregnancy and it could be a LOT harder. That's why I have a husband to remind me during those hard times I guess! He does a really good job at it too!
I would say the hardest part with this pregnancy has been the hormones. The misunderstanding and miscommunication between Joel and I has been hard for us. I feel like I've become such a typical girl where I expect him to read my mind and know what I want and need at all times ;) Luckily for me, Joel has the talent to see instantly how I feel and what I need. He can tell when I get "hangry", so he knows to get me food! Or if I'm tired, he tells me to go to sleep!
Baby boy must be growing a lot, because I have been getting tons of comments about how much I've grown lately. For the most part I've received good comments, haha. There's a lot of things people say to pregnant women and shouldn't... I found a great list HERE when I was pregnant with Emma, and you'd be surprised how many of these things are actually said. Sometimes I just want to shake my head and say, "Did you really just say that to me??" Oh geez ;)
I've already washed most of the baby boy clothes that we have... I might be a bit excited ;) I've got them all nicely folded in a drawer above Emma's, just waiting to be used! Sometimes when I'm getting clothes out for Emma I accidentally open that drawer first and get SO excited every time! This little boy has already stolen my heart and I don't even know what he looks like yet. Don't even get me started on looking at Joel's baby pictures! I can't even look at them because he is too cute! I feel more excited for him to come because I feel like I understand more than I did with Emma's pregnancy that he's an actual baby and he is all ours! I'm getting more and more excited to meet him with every day that passes. Especially if his bum is as cute as Emma's in this next picture ;)
