Here's a few things I thought I should note about the 3rd pregnancy.
*It's never happening again. I had said that with Lily, but I had doubt lingering. There is no doubt this time. Unless, of course, the Lord plans otherwise.
*I'm not going to be within the recommended weight gain. I've gained 45 lbs with both girls and I have a feeling this one will be the same, maybe more if I can't stop making cinnamon bread.
*My body is done giving up itself to grow another human being. Especially when it's chasing the other two around the house.
*My thighs are starting to grow, that's never a good sign.
*I'm getting varicose veins behind my left knee and it's not pretty. I'm not a huge fan of shorts, but this just added one more reason not wear them.
*I'm savoring the kicks knowing that this will be my last time feeling them.
*I'm almost 27 weeks and sleeping is difficult. 13 more weeks + 9 months of a newborn. Looks like I'm not sleeping for the next year.
*I love having a belly. It hides what is really underneath. So I'm enjoying all the tighter shirts I get to wear.
*I am thankful and blessed to be having a 3rd baby. I know it's going to be great fun.
