Bump Update: 3rd Trimester

Bump Update: 3rd Trimester

I still can’t believe that I’m already 29 weeks, and as with every stage of pregnancy, the third trimester brings a mixed bag of emotions and feelings. But I’m ready!  It feels good to be this far along, even though this pregnancy has been a little harder on me compared to my first born.

Perhaps I should be feeling proud of making it through the first two trimesters, but I kid you not: It gets harder and harder. Even though I love to display my ever growing bump (a precious reminder that Baby J is busy growing in there!)—I still get overwhelmed and emotional from time to time. The tangible evidence of baby brother we keep talking about is coming closer and closer. There are days where I want to hurry things up and slow down at the same time…So much needs to get done still before Baby J debuts his big arrival. So perhaps mentally, I need more time but physically…I’m done. You may not see it in my pictures but I’m in a lot of pain these days. My rib cage hurts—especially when sitting down (like right now as I am writing this post) and my back gives me tremendous grief. However, I’m grateful that Baby J is still inside of me. The early contractions I’ve had almost 2 weeks ago were very scary and I don’t want this to happen again until our precious baby boy is actually ready to come out.

My son Kingston, though is over the moon and couldn’t be more excited. He thinks he can start playing with his baby brother the minute he’s born—it’s too cute! It melts my heart every time he says these things. So, while mommy and daddy are getting things ready, and even with all the change ahead, perhaps we are pretty much at peace with it. Motherhood has taught me so much already. We tend to be perfectionist’s, and I might worry a lot but there’s one thing I’ve learned from my first born: Everything will work out one way or another.

As always, thanks so much for reading & following along my pregnancy journey! Your support has been so tremendous—my family and I can’t thank you enough!

XOXO

    I adore this look a lot, its hard to to believe you’re in your trimester! Really great details- the hat, pussy bow blouse, transparent details on skirt…as for your pain, brava for pushing through it like a trooper. Wishing you a week with as little pain as possible. I’d love to say no pain at all, but I know thats unrealistic. Xx

    I loved reading this post, Vanessa, and how you are in sharing how you’re feeling, including the ups and downs. It’s very relatable and encouraging, especially for me as I’m embarking on this journey, too. I will say this, regardless of how you’ve felt throughout the pregnancy, you’ve managed to really create such beautiful and stylish outfits that flatter your growing bump. I’m hoping that the discomfort will ease down and it will be smooth sailing for you here on in. Thanks again for sharing, my beautiful friend, sending lots of love your way!

    Ooohh, dear V., you look so beautiful, really stunning, we can see the divine motherhood aura there! Lovely jacket and glasses and baby bump! I am so sorry to read that your rib cage hurts and that sitting down is uncomfortable 🙁 And that physically you are done, but there are things to do – well, you will do all, I am sure! And Baby J is comfortable inside, and growing healthily! I am glad you didn’t have the contractions anymore! And how sweet is Kingston, saying he will play with his brother the minute he is born! I really hope you feel better, dear V., all is worth when there is love and that you have a lot! Many hugs and kisses, dear V.!

    I remember feeling that same way – mentally like I needed more time but physically ready. Pregnancy is tough on your body. You look amazing. I love this black and white outfit. Take care of yourself mama.

    I’m glad that things have calmed down after that big scare a few weeks ago. I’m sorry that you are uncomfortable and in pain. And I know the feeling of not being ready; but you know that in the end everything is going to work out the way it is supposed to… And how wonderful that Kingston is so excited!

    Man sieht dir auf jeden Fall nicht an, dass es dir nicht so gut gut! Du siehst wunderschön aus. Ich wünsche dir alles Gute in den nächsten Wochen!
