Today I'm 29 weeks pregnant. Holy Cow. And I use "cow" in a very literal sense, considering that's just about how I feel now-a-days. :) This means that not only am I in my 7th month but also my last trimester. WOWZERS!!!! All "fat" jokes aside though, I'm actually feeling a little bit better, self -esteem wise. I think the shock of "popping out" has subsided a little bit and I've bought some clothes that actually fit instead of me trying to make something fit. That all helps, I guess. I do find myself looking at photos of my other pregnancies and noticing that I'm just as big now as I was about 8 1/2 and 9 months with them. Sigh. Oh well though. This is my third child. I guess I can use that as an excuse, right? :)
For those that have asked how I'm feeling sick-wise....much better I think. I still "get sick" in the morning, but it recently has dropped down to 4-5 days a week now and honestly, it's not that bad. Maybe I'm just use to it, but it really doesn't bother me too much. And I'm VERY VERY happy that it's not every single day any more, a couple times a day. My hips are still bothering me but not as much as before. Praise the LORD! Instead of excruciating pain whenever I walk, it's more just like discomfort. I think not really holding the kids have helped too. I still hold Jake for a little bit if needed, but it's just too difficult these days. I think my hips are happy for that!
I have to say - this pregnancy sure has taken its toll on me! whew! The hardest one yet. But I also am running after 2 little kiddos and I think that plays A LOT into it. They just run me ragged. Most days, I'm pretty exhausted doing not too much. :) I've been gettin some strong braxton hicks lately. A couple times I wondered if I would know what it would feels like if I would go into labor naturally. Would I remember what contractions felt like from Rylee's birth? But some of these strong Braxton Hicks tell me that it wasn't that long ago and I'll remember just fine! :)
But all in all - everything is really good. I'm so thankful that although this has been rough on me, that it's not as bad as it could be! And I'm finally starting to feel those fun happy-prego feelings!! :) HOORAY! With both Rylee and Jake, after I got over the "hump" of not feeling good, I really enjoyed being pregnant. By 5 or 6 months, I was a happy prego mama!! But with this one, I have wondered if I'll ever get there. Happy to report that finally, I am! :) It might have taken me 2 trimesters, but I'm feeling good and loving this time right now. Glory to God!!
