Third Trimester

Wow, I can't believe it! The third trimester is finally here. I feel so relieved to be at the point where the chances of delivering a healthy baby are so high. Looking back at the pregnancy thus far, I thought I would do a post of my pros & cons of pregnancy!

CONS

1. MORNING SICKNESS! I , along with a lot of pregnant women, was sick all day long in my first trimester. I threw up at least 1 time a day, if not 3 or 4. That was by far the worst part of the pregnancy so far.
2. Zits! I broke out like crazy in my first trimester.
3. Fatigue! I would sleep every chance I got. I went to bed at 8:30pm most nights and would take naps on my lunch break.
4. Weird pains! All over, random times!
5. No Mountain Dew :(
6. Anxiety! Constant worrying if the baby is ok, if you are ok, not knowing what to expect, wondering how you will be a good parent.

PROS

1. Losing weight because of the morning sickness!
2. Full Hair & Long fingernails
3. Maternity Clothes-they are so comfortable!
4. Feeling the baby move, especially the first few times!
5. The first ultrasound! There is nothing like that. I was overwhelmed that there was actually a human being inside of me and I could see her jumping around and moving. I was in awe!
6. The deeper connection that Nic and I have now that we have actually created this child
7. How Nic treats me, even better then before if that is possible! He takes care of me and always wants to to make sure me and the baby are taken care of.
8. Just being pregnant. I really enjoy it. I love how older women love to talk to you about the baby, how excited everyone is, having something in common with so many women, and just the neat spiritual feeling that you have knowing that you are going to be this child's mother.
   

Less than 3 months left! I can't believe it!
