I’m Not Going to Miss Being Pregnant...


I am now officially 24 weeks pregnant aka 6 months. I feel more like 30 weeks pregnant! When I was pregnant with Chloe and Logan I enjoyed being pregnant, more so with Logan. This time, I already want this to be over. I’m so done being pregnant already and I still have 16 or so more weeks left to go. Here are some of the things I am not going to miss about being pregnant.
Not fitting in any of my clothes. I now only fit in about 10 different clothing pieces..most of which are pyjamas. I get so frustrated some days trying to get dressed, either everything is too tight or it doesn’t cover my bump. I still have some maternity clothes from Chloe and Logan but it is mostly summery and I have to dig that all out still.
Uncomfortable baby movements. My last pregnancies I loved feeling baby move around. This time around, don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing feeling but a majority of the time the baby is kicking me in my cervix and it is extremely uncomfortable! I remembered baby movements feeling like pokes until about 32 weeks or so when it turns into just rolls and kicks in the ribs. Well, I pretty much skipped the first part this baby already feel like he/she has no room left.
Heartburn. I have had terrible heartburn/acid reflux with all of my pregnancies. When not pregnant certain things would give me heartburn but that’s about it. It seriously doesn’t matter what I eat now. Every night=Heartburn.
No sleep already. The whole beginning of my pregnancy I had terrible insomnia on and off. The worst this was that Logan had finally been sleeping all through the night. Now I’m the one who wakes up every couple hours throughout the night. It takes me forever to settle down for sleep so I just pray nothing disrupts the process so I don’t have to start all over again just to fall back to sleep. On top of all that the heartburn and frequent need to pee makes everything 100 times worse.
The round ligament pains thought! I never noticed this at all with Chloe, with Logan I did. Mostly only when I was carrying Chloe. This time around it started really early when carrying Logan. Then it stopped happening for awhile. Now it doesn’t matter if I’m carrying Logan, sitting up, rolling in bed or moving something.

Lastly, gaining all this weight. So far in this pregnancy I have gained a fair bit of weight. I am afraid of what my weight is going to be at the end of the next 16 weeks. When I was pregnant with Logan I gained a lot also, however it was mostly all at the end in the last few weeks. With Chloe I gained a total of about 40 pounds, which was crazy to be because I was so tiny to begin with. At this point I don’t even go near a scale unless it’s at the doctor’s office because it just makes me sad.


What are some things you won’t miss about being pregnant? Don’t get me wrong, it’s amazing being pregnant, I am blessed to get to experience pregnancy three times, some people don’t ever get this at all. There are just some aspects that I could definitely do without. I will still miss the bump and the kicks, just not the awkward and uncomfortable parts that come with it. I am so anxious for this baby to be here already, however I am not prepared yet.There is still so much to do! I will be doing an update this week probably or I might wait until after my next doctor's appointment which is in a little over a week away. There will probably be a few more updates in this time around.

Also, if you have any ideas on how I can announce the gender comment or DM me on Instagram, I need some ideas! What do you think baby will be, Boy or Girl??

Hello May

I was half way through the day before I actually realized that today is May 1st already. It's so hard to believe, this year has gone by so quickly! Logan will be one in a month, he is getting so big. I think he will be walking soon, he stands for short periods of time not holding onto anything and he will walk holding my hands or on something. I am still nursing occasionally but not as much anymore. Logan has been sleeping through the night finally, so I am getting a bit of much needed rest! Chloe is getting so big, she will be three in about a little less then 5 months, isn't that crazy! Hopefully she will be starting preschool in the fall, providing they have any spots left, fingers crossed. The kids and I have been having so much fun playing outside and going for walks in this nice weather! I am really looking forward to this summer and taking them to the beach and my cottage.  In the last couple weeks I have been so happy to get out in the evenings a few times to get some f...

Great Educational Children's Book!

I recently had the opportunity to read a great children’s book written by Christine Bronstein. The title of the book is Stewie BOOM! and Princess Penelope: Handprints, Snowflakes and Play-dates. I am always interested in finding new resources and such relating to children with different special needs. My son, Logan, is developmentally delayed. Sometimes it can be hard interacting with other families, friends and even our own family, not everyone understand and that can make not only kids but adults, possibly even more so. This book is great for families with a special needs child to share with their friends and family. It is also great read for children to educate them about differences and that we should embrace them not avoid them. I feel like this book would be especially appropriate for elementary teachers and early childhood educators to read to their classes. As a parent my favorite thing about the book was at the end there were tips about having a play-date with a sp...
