The Pregnancy Story: 3rd Trimester

Well it finally arrived!! The home stretch. Let the exhaustion begin!
The third tri is sooo hard imo. Towards the very end you are so big, uncomfortable, & most if not all the wicked preggo woes are back with vengeance. That's right if you had morning sickness or headaches etc. be prepared for them to rear their ugly heads. again.
So not fun!
I was fairly lucky on the sickness side. I didn't have it in the beginning for either of my pregnancies and I didn't experience MS towards their ends either. I know, I know. Go ahead a hate. ;)
Obviously I am not your poster child pregnant lady. I had the minimal problems and did my best not to focus on them. What I found the hardest was this is the part of your pregnancy that time feels like it stands still. I mean you just FLEW through 28 weeks and now HALT! Your whole world seems to go in slow motion that last 12 weeks, and when you are getting bigger by the second and are getting less and less sleep, it's easy to wonder what the heck did I get myself into? Focusing on the reward at the end helped me get to D Day. My little precious would be in my arms. At in that moment hemorrhoids and vomiting are a distant memory. The true power of LOVE! <3

Trips to the park at this point we somewhat bearable. It was only March and the weather was just starting to get hot. So it wasn't that bad.

The Pregnancy Story: 1st Trimester

So its been forever since I posted. I don't want to be one of those moms who use pregnancy as an excuse for everything but I WAS PREGNANT so for this I will! Running the daycare, being a full time wife and Mommy and then being pregnant had been a bit more work than I had hoped. Everything went great health wise, but by blogging time I was exhausted! First few months I was in bed everyday by 8. Then by the last few months sleep was a distant memory. I slacked. So I want to try to catch up a bit a get what I can down now about my pregnancy to share and to help me remember one day!

We were TTC..well we were Cing lol.

THE BACK STORY
Jason & I had some stuff planned and coming up but we had decided when that was done we would start trying for baby #2. Our last obligation was in August and we tried in September and well that was all the T we needed. I knew pretty much right away I was PG, and basically counted the days til a test could confirm. And well....

there you have it. Based on my LMP I was due 5/28/12. But I was barely 4 weeks pregnant so I had to wait a month for the doctor to tell me for sure.

THE FIRST DOCTOR VISIT
My doctors appointment originally was to see a midwife. A midwife delivered Jax and I had a very good experience. I saw her once the first visit which means an ultrasound! Those are the best kind of visit. & nothing compares to the very first visit when you see the baby for the first time and hear that heartbeat. What an amazing moment.

our little gummie bear :)

From that appointment we learned the due date was 5/29/12. It was a great visit and everything looked good!

SO IT BEGINS 

I immediately saw changes to my body. I decided to try to take pics in same position to document what was happening. I also thought it wouldn't hurt to have some inspiration pics to know the body Ill be working hard to get back!!
Even now looking at this while 7 weeks PP I am devastated to the fact that I would do anything to even have that 10 week body back. :/ I just had surgery {story for another day|} so as soon as I heal its back
to working out!!

8 Weeks in :)

It wasn't just my belly growing. But my hair and nails took on a life of thier own! I was super excited because I never had my own nails before. If I had a manicured french I definitely was wearing tip nails. Now these were MINE all MINE!!
