And 3rd trimester is here....

The whole time I was trying to conceive Noah, I just wanted to be pregnant. I would have done anything just to be pregnant, it didn't matter. And it happened. And I was so happy. Sure, I had a little morning sickness and some pains, but I was happy to be pregnant and having a child. I had Noah and moved on. Right around 12 months old, I started getting baby fever again. Slowly at first, but then I had it bad. We started fertility treatment and it just made it worse, but I had more hope this time. Luckily, we got pregnant pretty quickly and again I was thrilled that we were pregnant AGAIN.

But this time, way more morning sickness. It lasted until at least 12 or 13 weeks. It was all day sickness. And just when I thought I couldn't take anymore, my back and hip started hurting. I have since found out that that's due to a prior injury and the stresses of raising a toddler and being pregnant are just making it worse. I am still very happy to be pregnant, but man, this pregnancy is rough. I hate to complain, because I know SO many friends that are trying to conceive and haven't yet and would die to be in my position, but seriously, I'm having way more trouble this time around.

I am very thankful to be pregnant, really I am. But at this point, I'm just ready for the baby to be here. I've gone from having occasional hip pain (hopefully getting better with the chiropractor visits) to now having pains in my lower belly and upper back from just my ever growing belly/baby. I would sort of expect to feel this "immobile" about 2-3 weeks from delivering, but 13 more weeks!!! Guess I'll just hang on and hope it goes by quickly....
