  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Overall pretty good, I’m noticing that the closer I get to the third trimester the more tired I feel. I had to take a nap today, which is pretty rare for me. 

  
  

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: 

  Rant: I have been having the worst tailbone pain the last two weeks. I have been stretching to try to alleviate it but nothing seems to work, my next appointment with my doctor is in two weeks so I’m hoping she will have some suggestions for me. 

  
  

  Rave: I’ve almost made it to the third trimester! The countdown is on! 

  
  

  𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

  Has anyone else been experiencing tailbone pain? And if so, have you found any remedies that work for you?

  how fast it’s flown by! We found out we were pregnant at 3 weeks, I remember thinking that time was going to drag, and July was impossibly far away. Now we’re already halfway through April, and I can’t believe how fast it’s gone.

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? The second trimester energy is quickly fading! Feeling better from my horrible cold last week and I’m hoping for a long stretch of being healthy. 

  
  

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave is that my husband painted baby’s nursery, and it looks great! I love the color we picked and it’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do. We will also be replacing the carpet, so it really will feel like a whole new room!

  How different my food cravings are compared to my first pregnancy, how quickly it’s going by, and how much better I feel physically just by being more active 🙌

  𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: PINK!

  
  

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Still doing relatively well overall. Definitely tiring out easier like both of you said! And the pollen here is kicking my butt, probably adding to the tiredness because it's hard to sleep when you can't breathe right!!

  
  

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: rant - dreading the glucose tolerance I have scheduled for Friday, hoping really hard I pass on the first go.
  
  Rave - I only have 30 more work days before my summer break and maternity leave!

  
  

  𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

  
  

  𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What has been the most surprising/unexpected part of your pregnancy so far? Probably how long it took me to really "feel pregnant." I guess I had a stereotypical view of what pregnancy is supposed to look like from shows and movies, and since I didn't really experience things like morning sickness it almost felt like I was an imposter or something!!!

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Pretty good, a bit more tired lately.. not sure if it’s the heat or what. Definitely noticing significant changes in my daily yoga practice which has been emotionally challenging but I’m still practicing to my edge (my edge just seems to be changing). Trying to stay positive as I’m mostly eager to meet baby & feeling impatient at this point! Third trimester here we come! 

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: mini rant on hip pain driving me crazy from sleeping on my sides but it’s nothing necessarily new 🙈

  Maybe how uncomfortable it kinda is! I never heard anyone that was pregnant complain because I think so many people say they’re doing fine or good when asked. Meanwhile anytime someone asks me how I’m feeling I feel like saying “how much time do you have?” Hahaha

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? I am feeling good! I met with my dietitian today about the GD diagnosis and she said I am a 'pillar of health' and to not change anything that I am doing! I just need to check my sugars 4 times a day and I will meet with an MFM on the 29th for an ultrasound (I'm not mad about the extra ultrasounds!). I still have my regular energy and my body is feeling really good still! Trying to enjoy that because I know it's most likely going to change soon, haha. 

  
  

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave would be that he is super active and even with my anterior placenta we can see his kicks and punches now (so wild)! 

  
  

  𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: N/a

  
  

  𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What has been the most surprising/unexpected part of your pregnancy so far? Prob my GD diagnosis lol but really I have been surprised with how fast its all going and also for me the lack of food craving/food aversions - really the only thing thats changed for me is I have a basketball in my belly!

  𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
  how much water are we drinking a day? I was told to drink more water but it’s funny because I’m already running to the restroom frequently as it is 😅

  It has gone by so fast so far. I feel like it wasn’t too long ago that baby was the size of a poppyseed and only my husband and I knew about it.

  @watermelonsunshine I am water crazy and drink about 120 oz a day. So important to make sure you have all your minerals when you’re drinking that much though!! My dietician said to aim for at least 75 - 90 oz while pregnant!

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Tired! Trying to stay engaged at work and active every day but a neighbourhood walk last night gave me strong Braxton hicks.

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant - I feel like I’ve reached the point time is going to start to crawl. Rave - almost there and still very much feeling really good physically and emotionally.

  𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝘁/𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲/𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗸/𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻: Thinking pink, but won’t know until the big day

  
  

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Sick. I’ve had a nasty cold all week and it has totally wiped me out. I think I’ve been sick more and longer this time than I have with my previous pregnancies. It’s been hard keeping up with the boys and all the normal routines/chores. 

  
  

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Excited to be thirty weeks tomorrow! Feels like another milestone. 

  
  

  𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Any one else have insomnia? I had it with my third pregnancy and was hoping to avoid it this time, but it seems that isn’t the case. 

  
  

  𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What has been the most surprising/unexpected part of your pregnancy so far? I feel like such a Debbie Downer saying this, but I’ve been surprised how rough this pregnancy has been. I usually don’t love being pregnant, but I usually don’t have any issues so don’t feel like I can complain. This time around has just felt so hard on my body. Maybe it’s because of my advanced maternal age (37)? Side note: I saw in my chart that one of the medical staff wrote that this was an “elderly pregnancy.” 😂 I’m familiar with “geriatric pregnancy,” but the “elderly” was new.
