Initially I was supposed to do those cute chalkboard updates for my bump pics, but that lasted two whole weeks. Instagram updates were faster and easier – my style during pregnancy. I love having this and want to get it developed as a picture collage – so cute for Baby Girl’s scrapbook! (yeah like that’s ever happening, if I don’t have one for my first child I can’t expect myself to do it for my second). #ohwell
I can’t believe it. I’m finally to the end!
I always thought those woman that said I miss being pregnant were CRAZY… but in a sense I think I get it a little now. I had a rough start to this pregnancy. I was so sick up until 24 weeks and NEEDED Zofran every 8 hours religiously. I had every “pregnant with a girl symptom” in the book. I was emotional, I got acne, I was super sick, I got heart burn, I craved tons of sweets and chocolate.
I also got dozens of leg cramps every night, had the vivid weird dreams, and hourly pee breaks all night.
(Me – just about every night)
It was 100% opposite from my first pregnancy. And I think that’s what I’m going to miss. I think it’s hysterical (now that I’m to the end) that a little baby girl growing inside me could COMPLETELY change me as a person.
This little sweetheart has made me eat more Caramel Milky Ways than I could count, she had me eating dark chocolate dipped in vanilla frosting straight from the can. (I had to throw it away in order to stop eating it… and even that barely stopped me). She even got me to eat spicier food than I normally can. I see it as a big forecast to the future… I believe she’ll be changing me in more ways than I can count as she continues to grow.
Jackson has been the love of my life for the last four years, and it almost scares me to think of someone else coming into our lives to share that love. Except I know my love will continue to grow more than I even thought possible. I cannot wait to see Jackson as a big brother. I cannot wait to see my husband be the father to his daughter. I cannot wait to see what this beautiful little girl will look like.
I keep trying to imagine where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing when I first realize I’m actually in early labor. I woke up with contractions at about 5am three days before J’s due date and wasn’t really sure if I was in labor, or just hopeful. I eased into the labor fairly easy as I was able to get a full nights rest before the big day and slowly just let the contractions get closer as I walked, napped and took baths all day.
This time I keep picturing things like me being at Lowe’s and having my water break. Or headed to the store to pick out my final can of frosting and keeling over from contraction pain (the braxton hicks have been PAINFUL this time around).
Who knows how it’ll happen, I just hope it happens sooner than later! And on that note I thought it’d be fun to do a little PB&J reader poll of when Baby Girl will grace us with her presence!
When do you think???
Also, I hope to be sharing Baby Girl’s nursery soon so stay tuned for that too!!
