So I guess I'm on the fence of 2nd and 3rd tri right now at 27 weeks today. Ahhhhh! I can't believe it. The first 20 weeks of this pregnancy went by at a snail's pace. These past few weeks have flown by. And being my second and most likelly last pregnancy, that makes me a little sad. I really did not start enjoying this pregnancy till 20 weeks. Before that I was throwing up at least once a day and feeling so tired, it was hard to do anything. I've felt great these past few weeks. Baby is moving and I love feeling him. My energy is back. And I have a cute baby belly.
Just in the past week, I've developed really bad heartburn. Only had that once or twice with my first. And I've already gained almost as much as I did my entire pregnancy with my first, even though I am eating better this time around. And a few of his kicks the past day or two have been pretty painful. Throw some leg cramps in there and well, I can't say I'm looking forward to the 3rd tri! I think those 6 weeks between 20-26 were going to be my blissful period this pregnancy!
I can't wait to meet this little guy. I am getting excited about seeing my two boys together as brothers (my son asked to hold my friend's baby today!) and nesting has kicked in for sure! Just ask my poor guest room bed which is covered in stuff to sell after I cleaned out all our closets. My son has potty trained great this past month and is moving to a big boy bed next month. I'm starting to realize he's not my baby anymore! Good timing, I guess! But even though all of this is positive, I am trying to cherish my belly, my kicks, the general feeling of pregnancy these last few weeks! Ah, pregnancy hormones be damned! Makes me want to cry!
Re: Can't believe I'm moving up to 3rd tri soon!
I know what you mean! I've actually had an amazing pregnancy! I had nausea the first 15 weeks and Acid reflux this whole time but over all no complaints! And baby is moving like crazy!!!
However this past week the acid is keeping me up at night and I don't sleep more then 2 hrs at a time! Yes, I know my body is preparing for when baby comes but I ould just LOVE to sleep one whole night!
I'm not ready!!! Suddenly I realize that we are having a baby...and soon! I am not overwhelmed or anything but I just keep thinking about how quickly time has gone by and how baby showers, maternity pictures and our birthing classes are just around the corner (next month!!). Slow it down, someone please slow it down!!!
