2 weeks out.
While things are a *little* crazy right now, I thought I’d take the time to reflect on my 2 pregnancies.
I always get asked about the differences between the pregnancies so let’s talk about it before I forget!
Symptoms: Thankfully, have been pretty mild again. My sleep is worse this time though. I have random spots on my arms and legs that itch like crazy. AND OMG. The congestion this time. Who the fuck gets two ear infections during pregnancy?? Me.
Size: Even though I showed a lot quicker this time, I am smaller in weight, belly and baby size which I did not think was gonna be the case!
Mentally: I feel less anxious. Having a planned date definitely helps ease the anxiety.. but then again, knowing what I’m in for after the surgery is scary. Although, Michael reminded me, last time was a surprise/shock and I recovered. This time, I know what I’m in for and I can do it again.
Cravings: Nothing weird or crazy or random. I had a lot more random, big cravings with Lucas and couldn’t eat enough tomatoes.
How my body feels: Stronger and better this time. My knees and hips aren’t bugging me as much. Baby girl isn’t digging into my ribs like Lucas was. I definitely feel more tired.. but I have a 2.5 year old this time around ya know.
Overall, I just feel very lucky but am ready to not be walking around with all this extra weight and getting out of breath so quick.
Pregnancy is wild. I’m really just walking around with another human in my belly. 🤯 #38weekspregnant #crossfitmom #pregnantmom #fitmom
