27 Weeks Pregnant

This week I got to welcome the third trimester!

That means two trimesters down and only one left to go. What are my thoughts and feelings? I am beyond excited! In just 13 short weeks I get to welcome this little guy into the world. I love newborns and how sweet, tiny and perfect they are. I am also scared! Will I be able to handle TWO kids? Will I be able to love this little guy as much as I love Lincoln? Will Lincoln feel replaced and sad? So many emotions and feelings.

I have felt A-mazing this week! Seriously! I haven’t had a single symptom of being pregnant, besides constant kicks to the ribs and sides, not even acid-reflux or pain in the pubic bone. Maybe the honeymoon stage of the second trimester will linger a little longer. Cross my fingers!

Baby is doing good and growing wonderfully. I swear he kicks me all day long and it is starting to get a little painful but I enjoy every moment. I went to my doctor’s appointment and I am measuring right on, healthy, healthy. He is now the size of cauliflower!

Here I am. I finally went and bought a couple of new shirts and a pair of shorts. My sister-in-law gave me this maternity skirt and I love it.

About Me

My name is Heather and this is a blog all about pregnancy! I am a mormon mommy to a four-year-old boy Lincoln and an 18-month old boy Maverick. My births were completely different, and I cherish the memories and excitement each one brought. Lincoln was a planned induction a week before his due date; my water was broken and I didn't need Pitocin, although I was given it for a short 30-minutes. I labored for 12 easy but very scary hours. He was whisked away after birth when a hole in his heart was found in an ultra-sound taken during labor. Maverick was born 8 days early. I labored at home for the majority of it and arrived to the hospital dilated to a 9. It was incredibly painful and each contraction crippled me! I got the epidural and calmly delivered him with only three pushes. I got to breastfeed him and bond with him before he was cleaned or measured.

I LOVE being pregnant and decided to create a blog to share with people who are interested or curious about pregnancy. Being a mom is the best blessing ever, and I am excited to have two little monsters running around. Being healthy, active and positive during pregnancy is essential in having the perfect pregnancy! Almost everyone can enjoy the miracle of a growing baby if you have the right attitude. Labor is unpredictable and no matter what happens, it is fun to share the story of bringing a life into this world.
