They aren't the best pictures, I kept forgetting to take them and it would have helped to be in the same shirt as I was with Owen but this will have to do.
This has not been a very easy pregnancy for me. I'm a big wimp! I was sick again the first trimester and the only thing that would help was to eat, eat, and eat some more. Just like with Owen (hence why I blow up like a balloon). Second trimester is always the best. When I hit third trimester, OH BOY! Everything started earlier with this one. I never had it to bad with Owen until 7-8 months. I didn't even feel contractions with Owen until I was at a four. This little lady is giving me a run for my money though. She has been kicking me since 4 months, and now at this point with only three weeks to go she is about to kick herself right out of my tummy. She is SO strong and it can hurt at times. I started getting heartburn at 5 months, my back and legs began to hurt at 7 months, I started to swell at 7 1/2 months, I am WAY to big already (weighing the same weight now as I did when I delivered Owen and I was HUGE!, am HUGE!). Charley Horses have started this week, I jump out of bed in the mornings to walk around. The sleeping has become uncomfortable at 7 months and on and on. I started showing right away with this one and everything seemed to hit me a few months earlier this time. I am at the point where I can no longer fit in any of the maternity clothes I bought for this journey and I am not about to buy more so I am waiting it out. I am SO uncomfortable in my clothes, I can't breath, I can't walk, if I bend over it cuts off my airway and I have to hurry. Last night my feet were SO sore from going grocery shopping and my skin feels like it has stretched to it's capacity! I am DONE! I have until Easter but this little lady better come in a few weeks or I might be in a wheelchair, ha! No kidding!
It's has been amazing to say the least, now it's time to begin the next phase of bringing her home. I CAN'T WAIT!
I know it will be hard and take some adjusting but I also realize in time I will have my body back, can play and run with my kids, can breath, can fit in my clothes, and Lia will be growing and on her own schedule and life will feel some what normal again. awwwwwwwww! Can't come soon enough!
