I have approximately 52 days until "d-day" (delivery day) and thought it would be a good time to reflect on how the first two tri-mesters have gone. My mom said the other day and I agree, it feels like just yesterday I announced that I was pregnant and at the same time it seems like I've been pregnant forever. Thank god I am not an elephant, those poor animals are pregnant for two years!!
First Tri-mester
-Excitement
-Nervous
-Sore boobs
-Headaches
-Exhaustion, I don't take naps and I napped often (Zaras favorite time of the pregnancy!)
-Heigtened sense of smell, unfortunately for Tim I didn't cook much if at all during the first few months...didn't want to go near Asain food!
-CARBS! Bagels, pasta, toast, PB, Mac and cheese!
-The first ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat for the first time, so exciting!!
-The family reveal
-Discussions about finding out the sex ahead of time or not and starting to think of names
-Forgetfulness, which is why I can't remember what else happened in first tri-mester
Second Tri-mester
-Revealing pregnancy to friends
-APPENDICITIS:(
-Started buying maternity clothes
-Belly started to show
-Boobs seemed larger
-Veins more pronounced in chest and stomach area, as I referred to it a road map across my chest
-Flutters and tiny kicks in the belly
-Gender reveal on Thanksgiving, so special!!!
-Energy back to normal (post appendicitis)
-Started registering which lead to super nesting phase
-Painted nursery and put crib together over Christmas weekend
-Belly got even bigger
-Name reveal at Christmas
-NY visit/shower
-Babymoon
-More nesting
-Went from high risk pregnancy to low risk!! Yay!
Start of Third Tri-mester
-Have gained 26 pounds already, yikes!!
-Bought more maternity clothes
-Nursery is 90% done
-Lots of movement in the belly, I may be give birth to a jr. Cirque du Soliel performer ;)
-Nasal congestion
-Belly growing more and stomach feels tight
-Parenting classes start
-Appetite has returned but stomach has shrunk :(
-Dizzy spells = no fun!
-Exhaustion and headaches return
-Nervousness returns thinking about how life is going to change in two short months!!
I am excited for the adventures of the next two months and should take advantage of just Tim and me time while we still have it!!
So great to hear about how you're doing and it is quite the journey. You're going to have a really super baby book! I like the jr. Circ du Soleil one haha! Amazing blogging:) xo
