How Far Along: 28 weeks, in the THIRD TRIMESTER HOLLAAAAAAAAA and it’s officially going fast now. Less than 90 days and this little dude is going to rock our world.
Feeling: very tired. very over it. very anti-social. patience non-existent. I feel like I haven’t had a chance to slow down and really think about how a third kid is going to change our family dynamic until very recently. I’m anxious because I know I won’t be able to give Jackson and Cameron the same amount of attention they get now but it’s not J I’m necessarily worried about. He’ll be back in school, loves his little routine and entertains himself so well with his cars and airplanes. It’s Cam. It’s always gonna be Cam #middlechild. I know the comparison game with your children is a bad one but I’ve been reminscing back to when Jackson visited me in the hospital right after I had Cam. He was a walking, talking, self-sufficient little machine. It took him about 7 days to adjust to his new brother and was just SO good and dare I say it: EASY. Cam is nowhere near where Jackson was when Parker will arrive.. unless he makes a dramatic leap in the next 3 months. Cammy is slowly being introduced to a daycare/preschool type setting and is making progress but he’s still very much my baby. My crawling baby who wants to be held, coddled, rocked and snuggled. Which is NO problem right now.. but what’s going to happen when P gets here? HAAAAAALP! I know I’ll survive. I have such good friends who are all more than willing to help. And family will be around too. But I’m still worried about how Cam is going to adjust and I think it’s going to be a rough go. And I HATE HATE HATE wishing this time away with Cam and hoping he’ll suddenly just grow up.. because I don’t want him to grow up. I just don’t want us to all be a disaster the minute we get home with Parker. What am I even saying.. it’s gonna be a dang shit show. Enter: WINE. I know these are all normal feelings and somehow, we’ll find our groove. Just anxious thinking about it all.
Maternity Clothes: So a little fairy, aka Alix’s sister, passed down a slew of maternity clothes to me that I’ve been living in. These Beyond Yoga fold down joggers aren’t maternity but perfect for a bump and like BUTTA on your skin. I’ve been pairing those with this long sleeve top when lounging around the house. And these maternity jeans (the raw hem!) are SO easy to get on and off.. lifesaver as my backside continues to grow…
Sleep: BLEHHHHHHHH. Sucks. Insomnia. Up 3-4 times a night. Just getting used to the fact that I’ll never sleep again 😉
Body Changes: Wellp.. growing at a rapid pace over here. I vowed to not look at the scale until my final, final, final appointment (IF that because what does it even matter at that point?!) but somehow, I got a glimpse at my doctor appointment last week. Granted, it was taken WITH shoes on lol.. so I’m removing like 3-5 lbs in my head BUT.. it was a little alarming. I HATE seeing numbers on a scale because it should be about how your clothes fit, not the number. However, it totally messed with me. Then I went and had Mexican food and a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on top so it clearly had an impact HA 😉 Anyways, I will absolutely gain more than 30 lbs this pregnancy.. let’s just say that and I’m working on being cool with it. I’ve noticed the most change in my legs. My thighs are just where I gain the weight so this fall, you’ll find me in oversized sweaters that go to my ankles haha.
Exercise: I’m still working out 4-5 days a week but the intensity has decreased dramatically. A Corepower C2 Yoga class makes me so winded. I have to take it very slow and I can’t lay on my back anymore so it limits what I can do in class. And even a walk uphill.. I’m huffin and puffin. Big bad wolf style. So I’m listening to my body and taking less intense classes and taking breaks when needed. So basically I’m in child’s pose for an hour 🙂 I’m thinking of really changing it up over the next few weeks and just doing very light walking but continuing with weight training. Pure Barre classes + weights/squats/lunges seem to be my sweet spot right now.
Cravings: Not much has changed in this department. I continue to want tuna sandwiches, arnold palmers and chocolate. I’d crush a donut if you put one in front of me. Won’t lie. I’m also craving sleep. Does that count for this category?
Looking Forward To: seeing his nursery come together.. I finally nailed down furniture and decor but I’m not putting anything together until after we are done having family in town in October. So for now, everything remains in boxes and closets.. which is fine since he’ll be in our room for the first few weeks anyways. I hope it turns out how I’ve pictured it in my head.. I’m going pretty modern, which is a huge left turn for me. My entire house is traditional but for some reason, I feel this urge to go a little edgy. Can’t wait to show you when it all comes to life!
Thanks for stopping by and catching up with me! xx
