The Honeymoon Is Over

I'm 30 weeks today. Only 10 more weeks of baking to go. I can't believe how fast time flies. We are well into the 3rd trimester now, and boy is the honeymoon faze over. My IBS is in full bloom, the heartburn is unbearable at times, and let's not even talk about sleep. I was hoping to be able to stock up on some ZZZ's now before little D comes, but doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Oh and not to mention, my pelvic bones are separating now, and yep, it's painful. By the end of the day, I can barely walk, not to mention change out of my clothes. The pelvic pain is awful.

But even with all this, I'm still loving being pregnant. There will be a few things I will truly miss about this pregnancy, once my little bean arrives

  • I'll miss the conversations Justin has with my belly.
  • The way he looks at me and my belly, and tells me I'm the best looking pregnant woman he's ever seen.
  • The kicks and rolls in the belly, and knowing he is safely tucked away in there.
  • The belly rubs.
  • Never having to lift anything.
  • Not having to do the litter box!
  • Eating for two.
  • Not having a hangover!!
I am so looking forward to the day my little bean is here though. I am dying to meet him face to face. To hold him. To see him smile, and to have him throw his arms around me. I can't wait for that first time he will look at me and call me momma. I can't wait for the baseball games and basketball games we'll take him too (yes, he's gonna play for the LAKERS!). I'm looking forward to all the "firsts" with him.

Diego, we eagerly await your arrival. Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

awwwwwwwww...... I can't wait to HEAR about all the firsts!

Sorry you are experiencing so many discomforts now... I know how you feel :) I think it is life's way of preparing you for parenthood- just when you think you're going to get a break and get some restful sleep in, it goes the opposite way! Pregnancy-- and birth-- are a metaphor for parenthood. Painful, but worth every single nanosecond!
