Farewell Second Trimester

I’m kind of in shock that I only have about 10-11 weeks left of this pregnancy!  It has FLOWN by!

I’m now officially in my 7th month of pregnancy and from what the app on my phone has reminded me, I’m entering my last trimester as well!! And when I say last trimester….I mean LAST trimester EVER! hah.   I recently attended the mandatory informational class in regards to getting a tubal ligation.  These tubes are gonna be snipped, tied and then cauterized about 5 minutes after Baby Bob is taken out of my uterus! Everyone asks why I don’t have Yosh get fixed…but the easy answer is I’m already being cut open…its nothing extra being added.  Since I’m a csection its actually, from what the nurse said, a very easy procedure.

 

I thought I’d be really sad that this would by my last pregnancy…buuuuut I’m totally not.  With Owen and Ella I LOVED being pregnant.  I never got sick.  I gained 60lbs with Owen and 25lbs with Ella…I loved food and eating. It was great.  Now don’t take me wrong…I still love being pregnant! I really do. Its the only time in my life when I actually LIKE looking at myself in a mirror…the bump amazes me. BUT I’ve only gained 5lbs because food is STILL not my friend! It bums me out that I’m 7 months pregnant and STILL throwing up!  And as I get bigger it sucks worse because I’ve now started peeing myself when I puke! Isn’t that freaking marvelous.  I feel like since this has been a bit of a rougher pregnancy its a sign that we’re done! haha.

When I told people we were expecting a September baby a lot of people’s first reaction was “Ohhhhh you are going to have such a horribly fat, hot, sober summer!!!”. Or they’d say something like that…hah seriously.

I heard it so much I was kind of dreading these summer months BUT I have realized that being a teacher and pregnant in the summer is A-MAZ-ING!  Yes I’m fat and sober…boo…BUT I’m totally not hot ever!!! Maybe its because we have a pool, are A/C abusers and tend to do water-type activities with the kids and because I have kids I get to take a nap EVERYDAY!! Hello. Napping. Swimming. Lounging around in comfy clothes.  It has been awesome.  Working full-time while pregnant is a totally different story but summertime pregnancy is great (note for all teacher friends…get knocked up in January February!)

We have nicknamed the baby Baby Bob…it started as a little joke that Yosh had with Ella…but its kind of stuck.  No the baby’s name is NOT going to really be Bob but for now it works.  When we were pregnant the other 2 times we had baby names already picked…it was easy. But we don’t have names this time around. Yosh asked how long after its born do we have to figure it out…I think its until the birth certificate lady comes around right?!?  We have some we like but totally have NOT made a decision.  I’m a planner…and I’m not stressed…what the heck is wrong with me?!?

Baby Bob has been moving LOTS. My placenta is attached across my csec scar (the front of my uterus) so the movements are different…I feel FULL belly movements…and the kicks aren’t to my belly they are to my organs inside…its weird.  Movement makes my whole belly move. And Bob likes moving most at night (oh great!) after the kids are in bed and I’m trying to sit down to watch a few episodes of Orange is the New Black.

2015 prego with Baby Bob

After seeing these pictures Yosh is thinking we are having another girl… I’m thinking the same.  Guess we’ll know soon enough!  We have 4 more weeks of summer…I’m going to enjoy every second of it.  Try and continue to love this pregnancy even when I’m praying to the porcelain goddess while wearing some Depends (haha just kidding…I’m not THAT bad).

Hello 3rd and Final Trimester!  Time to get some paint on that baby room walls and assemble a crib!
