Pregnancy Update

I am now 30 weeks pregnant and firmly in the third trimester. This pregnancy has flown by, hence the lack of pregnancy related posts (or any posts for that matter). I had grand plans of posting updates every month but between morning sickness and first trimester exhaustion, taking care of a three-year-old and five-year-old, and updating our new home, the blog has fallen through the cracks. I have managed to take a bump picture every week, and I’m calling that a win!

The first trimester was my toughest yet. I don’t know if it is because I am over 30 now, or because this is my third pregnancy, or keeping up with two other kids, but I was so glad to finally get to the second trimester. Morning sickness was way worse this time around and I was beyond exhausted. Like lay on the couch all day while the kids watched way too much TV exhausted. Once I got to the twelve week mark I started feeling so much better!

After all the growth issues that we had with Colette, I was a little nervous about the anatomy scan. But everything was just fine. We found out we are having another GIRL! And she was absolutely perfect.  She was growing right on track, even measuring a couple of days ahead.

The second trimester was so much better (and easier) than the first! Other than my growing belly, I didn’t really feel pregnant. And with two littles keeping my busy and plenty of house updates to steal my attention, I quite often “forgot” that I was even pregnant. So far, the third trimester has proven to be quite different, but I’ll share more on that later.
