Third Trimester?!?!

What?! Is this real life?! Haha I still can't quite believe that I am pregnant. Let alone 10 short weeks away from meeting my baby girl! It just seems so insane after such a long and involved process. My biggest regret has been not documenting it well at all! So instead of just feeling guilty I'm going to do what I can to sort of kind of make up for it.

The second trimester was great! I had plenty of energy and was rarely uncomfortable.  I still didn't gain hardly any weight but did start to show a little more. Enough for some maternity clothes even! That was sure a fun turning point :) Even then I felt pretty normal. Things were so normal in fact I almost got worried I wasn't getting big enough or gaining enough weight! Weird problem to have I know but I started to wonder if maybe she wasn't growing how she should or something. Especially since I didn't feel her much either due to the stinkin' placenta being in front of her. A friend of mine is about 3 weeks further along and just seemed a lot bigger than me and feeling a lot more movement. I'm not going to lie I was getting a bit jealous! Even though I knew it was all coming in due time it just seemed weird to be so much further behind her than just 3 weeks. BUT every appointment went great and the good news just kept coming!

As the second trimester ended and the third trimester has started I am definitely getting somewhat more uncomfortable but more is relative. I am definitely feeling pretty stinking good for practically 30 weeks. My weight gain is still steady and belly is growing slowly but surely. Just this last week I felt significantly more tired but I'm not positive that wasn't due to lack of sleep. Also, the peeing all the time thing has definitely been kicked up a notch. I haven't noticed any difference in my regular bladder habits until recently but man if I thought I went a lot before (and believe me I did) then I don't even know what to call it now! haha but its really all good! I just love experiencing this! Pregnancy brain is also making a noticeable comeback. I had been doing good on that for quite a while and have started spacing things again lately. Still no cravings though! Although, the sweet teeth is back to normal thats pretty much the only change in appetite.   The best part is she's kicking harder so I feel her more and more often which is just more incredible than I can say. I have even seen it from the outside which is totally insane. It definitely continues to be sporadic and inconsistent which makes the idea of kick counts a bit stressful for me, not gunna lie. Like I said, I do tend to worry a little about things not being "normal" even when there is no "normal" haha but I'd say I'm doing pretty well with keeping that under control.

I know I probably sound like a broken record but I'm still just so grateful and full of joy! This has just been so far beyond amazing! I can't wait for all the other steps along the way to meeting this little princess! And boy will it come quick. We've got 9 more days of school. 3 baby showers to enjoy. 2 classes to take and 1 move to make.  So between all that the 2 1/2 months left will fly by! Let's hope I get better at documenting it!
