Just a pinch past 26 🤏

With a bit under 14 more weeks to go! Still in second trimester. Still enjoying feeling him move, and stuck somewhere between living in the moment, wanting time to pass, and wanting time to slow down. For such a "normal" thing to experience, there is nothing normal about this chapter of my life.

23 and me! Only 17 more weeks to go. Happy "welcome-to-the-6th-month" Labor Day! 💙

I'm feeling great, and he is feeling big! Quite the kicker/ puncher/ dancer, no lack of energy, and he can somehow make visible movements from all the way around my sides, to all the way down to my pubic bone, to all the way up to almost my ribs! The whole seeing and feeling movement part, was the part I thought would freak me out the most. Well... I love it. I don't know what it is about it, but I love it like... a lot a lot 🥹

Now that he has started moving so much that there is a clear response to certain stimuli, I have started testing out different music with him, and so far the biggest response has come from Collective Soul! He also seams to really like fresh apples, peaches, spinach, sweet corn, and tomatoes. And, he loves it when Ricks sings and reads to him. Safe to say, he is already taking after his momma! 💃🍎🥗🍑🌽🍅🎶

20 Weeks! The halfway point 💖

This feels like SUCH an accomplishment! 💃🏽 Mix of OMG I MADE IT + the reality of being ONLY halfway 😅 It's getting hard to put boots on (I'll be giving up the Docs soon 👢), and getting harder to pick things up off the floor. 🍄🍄🍄 Mushroom hunting is now a full body MISSION vs feeling like an everyday neutral physical activity.

To recap everything so far: 1st trimester surprised me - you truly don't know until you are in it! Every pregnancy is different... it's a surprise deck of cards. 🃏

The things those hormones do to you are WILD! It's not just bouts of nausea - it's 24/7 for 3 months. 🤢 For us with super regular digestion systems? Dealing with sleeping intestines is a true shock... I have NEVER had constipation close to that... diet doesn't matter, it is a progesterone takeover like you didn't know existed. 😭

The level of exhaustion!? 😴💤Some women say first trimester exhaustion is WORSE than after birth sleeplessness and I would 100% not be surprised if I fall into that camp.

The back pain!? 🤕 I used to think it was related to belly size. NOPE! My 1st trimester back pain was 10x worse than it is now. First time moms getting that influx of relaxin and having their bones move for the first time since their teens in their late 30s and early 40s seem to have the early onset back issues... but like, it is no joke.

THE WORST PART: Nobody knows you are pregnant yet. You don't look pregnant, but you feel very pregnant. You haven't told hardly anyone yet, because getting safely past 12 weeks is the entire mission.

NOW at 20 weeks? - I am actually kinda enjoying pregnancy. 😲‼️⁉️ I KNOW. Slap me. But 2nd tri not so bad! And compared to 1st? OMG SO MUCH BETTER. Getting up out of bed sucks and I still get tired/ worn out, but I LOVE feeling him move. I'm actually growing an attachment, which changes everything. I still don't know if I could stomach EVER doing this again, but I'm soaking in the wins and good days!! 🥰

Baby is half baked, healthy, and everything went great!! Somehow he's the 68th percentile 😳 how the heck I have a "big" baby is beyond me, but that couldn't have gone better! He was moving and grooving, which corroborates what I've been feeling (like he doesn't sleep, lol) and I'm up 22 lbs! And he's already a cutie!!!

This is what "taking it easy" looked like for me today (at 19 weeks pregnant) - and you guys, I felt normal! Being told to constantly take it easy has become really exhausting. I'm covered in paint, mud, sweat, and a little rain. I cleaned out two chest freezers and am about to process sweet corn, chanterelles, chicken of the woods, cucumbers, zucchini and yellow squash. 🍄🍅🌽

No makeup, no meetings, not being told not to lift heavy things. It was wonderful. 2nd trimester energy is so refreshing... and not being told what I can and can't do? Priceless.

So today I foraged, harvested, carried frozen jugs of maple water, ate fresh veggies out of the garden, climbed up and down muddy banks, hiked miles, and was able to finally imagine my life with a little one vs feeling trapped in this restrictive pregnant world.

I will probably hark on this a lot, but toxic positivity about pregnancy is NOT healthy, mentally. It's ok to not love being pregnant. I repeat: IT IS OK TO NOT LOVE BEING PREGNANT!! It's okay to wake up in the middle of the night kinda freaked out about it all. It's okay to admit WE ALL HATED FIRST TRIMESTER THE MOST! I love my little one already. LOVE HIM. I love that I can finally feel him move around! I even kinda love my bump. But I have HATED how I am made to almost feel guilty about not loving pregnancy, not wanting to ever go through it again, not wanting to just chill and flop around. So, today, was awesome. I will be going through the rest of this pregnancy without the voices of others telling me restrictions I don't feel are actually helpful or necessary. If the rest of pregnancy is more like today, I might just decide, that I kinda dig it.

Sweaty. Bumpy. Painty. Pretty well can say "barrier complete!" though aside from my end caps wildcards 😉

Up 18 lbs... going Bantamweight 💪💪 🥊 😅 🐓
He's got a strong heartbeat and right after my appointment today, I'm pretty sure I felt the first "definitive" movements! Getting really real! (PS the schmutz on my phone is paint 🎨🙃)
