#ExpectingMom
I wake up each morning trying to wrap my head around the fact that I’m ALREADY 33 weeks. 🤯
Who else is feeling like their pregnancy is flying by - or is it just me? 🙈
Comment: PREP to get my Freebie guide sent to your DMs to lighten the stress ❤️
Currently this week has gone like this:
• Minimal sleeping - no matter how many pillows I have or how much magnesium intake. We’re wide awake.
• My legs feel heavy or like they mightttt be retaining some fluid. More of a feeling than a look rn.
• I’m strongly nesting and organizing the house like we just moved in ha
• My left side ribs feel bruised at this point
• Lower pelvic pressure is strong. Baby feels low.
• My hips and back are very sore. Very painful. Thank God for chiropractic care.
• I’m hungry a lot but I have no room. I feel so full.
What I’m doing this week 🥰
• Planning my crockpot meals to make for PP
• Washing baby clothes and baby linens as I pull out the things I plan tone this time around.
• Drinking red raspberry leaf tea 1-2 times a day
• Ball bouncing, circles and pelvic opening stretches to engage and position baby as they drop
• Still searching for a baby girl name - we have three options for a boy.
Cheers to baby three joining the crew in 7 short weeks (or sometime around that)

⚠️ TW - OB triage nurse chronicles and decreased fetal movement. Did you know that hiccups don’t count towards kick counts or baby movements? Being in tune with your baby movements while pregnant is a great indicator of how your baby is doing in there - any change, come see us in labor and delivery #pregnancygram #expectingmom #babymovement #laboranddelivery #firsttimemom

My birth story was one of a kind but I couldn’t have done this without the proper preparation and God!
I pushed my baby out in 20 minutes… all natural, no tears 🤯✨
And I’m telling you right now — physical therapy was the REAL MVP. Shoutout to @dr.ethept at @elitealliancept because I didn’t just “wing it”… I was prepared. My body was READY.
Between staying active, walking + curb walking, eating my dates, raspberry leaf tea, and doing perineal massage… everything worked TOGETHER. But PT is what tied it all in and made the biggest difference.
Learning how to breathe, push correctly, and actually connect with my body was the game changer.
If you’re pregnant and not in PT… respectfully, you’re missing out 👀
I only trust the best & Dr. E got me right 👏🏽
My best advice for expecting mamas—prepare your body, don’t just hope for the best.

Send this to an expecting mom you know!! Not only is this the most meaningful keepsake everrr, it’s also a really special way to dedicate your baby and motherhood journey to the Lord right there in those first special moments together 🥲🫶🏼 #expectingmom #hospitalbag #firsttimemom #newbornkeepsake #momadvice
NESTING in full force 🙌🏼 35.4 weeks pregnant (now) and basically just starting the nursery, prayers 😂😉
Ok - honestly in this scenario I wouldn’t actually hit THIS level of emergency bat signal BUT this is till a very concerning thing in pregnancy that requires testing and possibly treatment! It’s more tales from the labor and delivery triage unit. Did you guess it? #pregnancycare #pregnancygram #pregnancyhumor #expectingmom #thirdtrimesterfeels
From week 2 to week 9 - Our Little Miracle 🤍

We found a name for baby boy!🩵 (And no it’s not Soldano)
Boy names are hard enough as it is without having to consider pronunciation in two laguages👀 but somehow we managed to align on ONE! #babynames #boynames #bilingualproblems #expectingmom #americaninparis
Pregnancy really said: if it disrupts my peace, it’s a no 🤍
Jokes aside—One symptom I truly wasn’t expecting was how protective I’d become over my energy. My time. My body. My mental space. The list goes on.
And honestly… I’m learning that boundaries aren’t me being dramatic — they’re me listening to my body and this season I’m in.
What shows up in pregnancy for you? What feels uncomfortable, upsetting or like you are crawling out of your skin to change, hormones change our brain chemistry and right now our intuition is HIGH — you’re not “hormonal” you’re making big shifts in preparation for this special new you and little one, don’t ignore it and lean in!
Pregnancy has a way of slowing you down and making you tune in.
Protecting my peace isn’t selfish — it’s essential.

Tell my fam we’re expecting 😅 they couldn’t believe it because weeks prior my older sister announced she was pregnant ❤️🔥
