17 Weeks and Counting


   As of today, we are 17 weeks pregnant. Hard to believe that there is only 23 weeks left before our little peanut will arrive. I love being able to document the goings on of our lives and this pregnancy. The first trimester of this pregnancy was unbearable with the morning sickness that lasted 24 hours a day and would even wake me up in the middle of the night. Then there was feeling extremely tired and feeling like I had the flu for weeks on end. It wasn’t until a few, maybe 2 weeks ago, that I started to feel better. Now I am just dealing with migraine, IBS, anxiety and SI Joint pain. But I had all that before getting pregnant.

   This is my third pregnancy, so I have a “been there, done that” kind of attitude. But little did I realize that, this would be the worst of all of them. And all that knowledge that I obtained three years ago wasn’t really as fresh as I had hoped. I went through the migraines and night nausea with my first pregnancy, then the SI joint and depression with my second. The constant worry of it all was over before I knew it, but during it all, it felt like it would never end. I am mostly excited this time around because aside from the usual problems I have a very positive attitude this time around. Mostly because it is the last pregnancy and the last time I will to experience this, so why not make the best of it all.

   Upcoming in a few weeks, our first official sonogram that lets us see our new addition and hopefully find out if we are having a boy or girl. Yay!! We are soooo excited, I just can’t wait!!
