Welcome To The 3rd Trimester

03/26/2013

This Friday I will be 34 weeks along in my pregnancy. Let me tell you I’ve been full blown feeling the effects of the 3rd trimester lately. This morning I cried for 10 minutes after showering because I was so winded and exhausted just from having a shower. Yep, that happened. The hormonal outrages have no been nearly as sever as they were when pregnant with my daughter, but I do remember in the last trimester them being nearly out of control. Pray you do not cross my path in the next 6weeks, especially if its 7 weeks from now.  When I was overdue with M, I cried every day, at least 3 times a day because I just didn’t want to be pregnant anymore. My poor husband. Such a good man.

Back to the winded part too. Baby has now found my lungs and is using them as practice karate kicking bags. Carrying a 30 lbs toddler up stairs means I am out of breathe for 5 minutes. Heck carrying my self up a flight of stairs means I’m winded for 5 minutes.

Painting my toenails is a chore. Putting on shoes is a chore. Standing longer then 10 minutes to cook dinner is a chore. *sigh*

I wake up at 6 every morning. As my toddler continues to dream away in a deep slumber I am wiping the sleep from my eyes and I sit on the floor stretching my sore hips. Hips so sore that they wake you from slumber every hour to turn over to your other side.

Someone must share with me who these people are that adore being pregnant? Are they mythical creatures like mermaids and unicorns? I actually hope so. Have you seen the moviie “What To Expect When You’re Expecting“?  Please watch the clip below to finish describing my feelings.

Luckily this pregnancy I know at the end of it all it the amazing screaming tiny bundle of joy and its utterly life changing. In the good way. Anyone else in the same emotional, exhausted and uncomfortable boat as me, just remember it is sooooo worth it.  Good luck! Vent over. Goodnight. 😉
