This has been THE longest pregnancy! I’m sure we all feel like that with each pregnancy. It feels like I’ll never feel normal again, but at the same time seems crazy that we’re 6 weeks away from our live changing forever (again!). The first 15/16 weeks were rough!! The morning sickness was more intense than the others but also short lived, which I’m grateful. The emotional and hormonal aspect in the beginning was horrible, which i haven’t experienced during pregnancy before. It made my first trimester seem super long. I was grateful to have the gym to go to every morning for some therapy! It helped me get out of bed and get some endorphins going, and then I’d come home and feel good for a few hours but if i didn’t stay busy, I felt super sad and depressed. If I for some reason couldn’t make it to the gym, I’d have a hard time getting out of bed and would stay in it and cry! I felt like i had the baby blues that lasted for 16 weeks, and it was hard feeling so sad and depressed because it’s unlike me!!! I thought...how could I go from being in such a good place in May to absolutely feeling so down in the dumps the whole summer? It’s my favorite time of year!!! After my hormones balanced out a bit and i wasn’t so tired in my second trimester, I really felt great, even physically. The second trimester flew by and i enjoyed it all! We found out at 23 weeks pregnant that we were having a girl. Archer was the only one who thought it was a girl!!! Austin secretly wanted another girl and I’m so happy with either way! 10 weeks later at 33 weeks, and i still feel great. It’s been the best I’ve felt in my third trimester with any of my pregnancies. I contribute it all to staying active and keeping up with my workout routine. I’ve only missed a few days my whole pregnancy of working out and i think it’s kept my body loose and healthy. I just gave up going to high fitness last week. Even though i was still getting a good workout modifying, it was starting to hurt my belly so I’m mostly sticking to weights, yoga, and ballet bar. It’s crazy that I’ve had almost zero symptoms...no cyatic nerve pain, no back aches (except while sleeping or a really active day), no charley horses while sleeping - like literally no pain that I’ve felt with my other ones. I’m still uncomfortable, have a hard time sleeping, and don’t love getting ginormous but I feel good and hardly have anything to complain about! Hopefully it stays that way for the next 6 weeks! Baby girl is very active, especially at nights!! I looooove that part of pregnancy (the only good part of pregnancy). The kids were so excited in the beginning and then i think got over it a bit because it’s been so long!!! I don’t think they quite understand what’s coming for them! I worry about archer since it’s only me and him all day everyday and he’s going to get pushed out of his baby spot! That makes me sad, but it will be so good for him!!! Allegra loves feeling the baby move and always knows how many weeks i have left! I can’t wait to see her with a baby!
