30 weeks

Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.6

I have seriously loved this whole pregnancy! Brenden's pregnancy was more difficult with having morning sickness for so long in the heat of the St. Louis summer, only to come back to Idaho to still have it and have to worry about switching doctors, starting my third trimester, and preparing for everything during the holidays. I was just so stressed, tired, and complained about everything while I was pregnant with Brenden. With it being a first pregnancy, I'm sure it just wasn't what I was expecting and didn't know quite how to deal with everything that comes up in pregnancy.

This time around I feel so great and just so relieved. I never had morning sickness, some mild nausea here and there. I haven't really had any heartburn, only a little when I eat tomatoes or dairy. I know, weird. And I don't have to worry about switching doctors mid-pregnancy because I have a pretty great one here in Rexburg already. I don't have to worry about getting medicaid figured out in a new state which is wonderful! Although, I do need to order a new medicaid this week because Brenden went through my wallet, took out all of my cards and lost my medicaid card and my credit card. No worries, credit card was cancelled the first night and a new one is on its way. I don't even really have to worry about setting up a nursery because Brenden is still so young that most of that stuff is already done! I feel awesome.

I have a baby shower in a few weeks where I'll hopefully be collecting and stocking up on all of the girl things which is really all that I need other than a double stroller and a few small things that I wished I would have had with Brenden, but didn't.

I have less than 10 weeks to go and I think I have entered into that phase of pregnancy where I'm getting really excited to meet this little girl. Sure, I still have those thoughts in the back of my mind telling me that I am not ready! I know that I still have a ton to get done that I want to have done in the next 6 weeks or so in case this little one decided to come early, but I know that I can do it and I know that everything will be great!

I just have to take it easy and spread everything out that needs to be done. I was cleaning up a little yesterday afternoon before Chris and I had people over for dinner. He was at work, so he wasn't home to lend that helping hand. I just wanted to clean the kitchen, de-clutter, the living room, fold some laundry, and vacuum. Wishful thinking. I felt like every time I stood up to get something done the contractions would set in, not the braxton hicks contractions I've already been having, but this baby wants to come out kind of contractions. It was a little scary, so I would sit down for a few minutes and they would subside, and I would get up and try to get something done again and they would set in again. A little unnerving, but I know that they aren't labor contractions, because if they were they wouldn't stop just because I sat down. I do know that I have to take it easy and not push my body these last weeks of pregnancy. I don't want her coming any sooner than she should.

Less than 10 weeks left, and I am pumped!
