third trimester blues

Now I know what people mean when they say they cant wait till its over.

Heartburn is at an all time high. I look at my husbands spaghetti plate and salivate. Gone are those days of tomato sauce and garlic butter. I know they say it is all worth it in the end and I cant wait to see the prize at the end of this long journey.

Waiting for Aidan to come...

I am 32 years old and 28 weeks pregnant with my second son. My first son is will be 9 years old in November and I'm excited about having this baby!

As you can tell it has been a while. I do wish circumstances were better with his father. Although I've been dealing with this pregnancy without his emotional support, I know that in the end there is nothing like the love of a child. So now my little family is growing and we're looking forward to meeting Aidan soon. Although this has been a good pregnancy, it's a lot different than it was with my first son.

This pregnancy I have to deal with horrific heartburn, frequent urination and the complete inability to sleep. But I know this is mild in comparison to the other discomforts. So now as I enter my third trimester, my family and I are preparing for his arrival. But I wanted to say to all the single moms out there to hang in there and let the love of the children motivate you to achieve your dreams.

Believe me, there's always room for love.

My little field goal kicker

I already have a 4 year old son Kristepher who will be starting Kindergarten in two weeks, I am currently pregnant with his little brother 33 weeks along, everyone always talks about it being a nine month journey but if you think it about it, it can be more like 10 months or more.

Kristepher was late two weeks but the doctors would not induce saying he would come when he was ready. He decided to choose the day after thanksgiving 2 weeks later than his EDD. I am so afraid that baby Sean will do the same thing to me. I am a very small 5 ft woman,

This pregnancy is a little different then my first. Kristepher hardly moved and when he did was very soft about it, which would explain why he is so careful and quiet as a kid. Sean however kicks like a field goal kicker, I laughed when at my last doc appointment they told me I need to starting counting his kicks and have at least 10 movement in one hour, Sean kicks for hours on end, I have already been told that he will likely surpass 8lbs for a birth weight.

7 more weeks until 40 but the doc says Sean could be born early due to his size and his development. or it could be more like 9 weeks left he is late, I hate the waiting I am so ready to meet my baby and be done with insomnia, side and hip pain and general discomforts.

Congrats to all the rest of you moms for those of us in the final months it seems like each days lasts forever but just think each one is one day closer to the main event.

Here I am at the third trimester. 7 days away from my 29th birthday, and 3 days away from my due date. This is my third and final child. I have 2 girls and now a boy is on his way. As much as I would love to be done with being pregnant, I am enjoying every last minute I have minus one more child. I know when he arrives and hubby returns to work, I will have my hands full. At the same time, I am so excited to have a newborn around!
My first pregnancy dragged on forever, I ended up with pregnancy induced hypertension. I ate and ate and ate and ate, and didn't drink nearly enough water or get nearly enough exercize...almost 70 lbs and 2 1/2 weeks ovedue, I finally delivered Britani by induction, it was horrible, 13 hours of labor with 1 hour of pushing, she was 7 lbs, 15 oz, 21 inches. She is now 10 and is my right hand helper around the house.
My second daughter was the only "planned" child...much older and wiser I had a rather uneventful pregnancy, gaining only 30 lbs this time around, I delivered her on her due date...what are the odds? Although the pregnancy itself also seemed rather long and drawn out, I was convinced at my Dr apt., the day before her arrival, that my body was clueless to labor and that I might in fact be the only woman alive that would be pregnant forever and nobdy would care...ha ha! Faith Natalie was 7 lbs. 4 oz and came in an amazing 3 hour labor with one push! Perfection! She is now 2, and is mommy's shadow, as well as my lil hand full of sassiness.
Now here I am with the thrid, gaining only 26 lbs so far, I am even wiser than before, and to tell you the truth this lil guy has been the easiest of all pregnancies...it has gone by pretty quickly. Don't get me wrong these last few days seem like forever...but for the most part it has been pretty enjoyable. We were in no way shape or form ready for a thrid child, but now that we are days away from having him, I don't think we have ever been more prepared. My last apt was 2 days ago, I was dilated to 3 and 30% effaced, baby's head is at a -1 station. I have already lost the mucous plug last week, and I have been getting those early Braxton Hicks contractions for about a week now pretty regularly. I literally feel like it could be any day now. I just wonder how fast it will go?!
I have been dilated for 2 weeks now, which has never ever been the case with either one of my other pregnancies, in fact I never had any signs what so ever with my girls! Here I am this time around, feeling that morning sickness come back a lil here and there, contracting, feeling so much pressure on lower back and abdomen! Each pregnancy really has been different for me. We'll see...either way I am like an emotional roller coaster right now, one minute I am relishing the last few days of this final pregnancy, one minute Iam fed up and wiling to do anything to have my body back! Come out William!!!
