Today is the start of my third trimester – INSANE! Time is flying by and I can’t believe I’m at this point in my pregnancy.
Lately I’ve been feeling pretty good. Energy is up, I’ve been trying to walk a lot, and I’m still sleeping pretty well. I finally figured out a pillow arrangement that works – so that helps 🙂
At about week 24 I woke up and realized my bump hadn’t totally disappeared overnight. So since that point it’s been pretty hard to hide that I’m pregnant or forget it. I feel like it really grows every week and just gets more and more in the way. This past week I’ve felt BIG and I’m sure that feeling won’t go away!

I’ve also reached the point where it’s hard to eat big meals or anything really spicy or greasy. I also feel like my stomach is getting more an more constricted, so I’m back to eating frequent small meals. The third trimester is going to make big holiday meals challenging but that’s probably not the worst thing!
Lately I’ve been loving hot chocolate from Starbucks, my Lululemon Align leggings, and my Barefoot Dreams robe. Basically I’m all about comfort and being cozy at home now!
I setup the dresser for the nursery this weekend and washed all our newborn clothes. We are SO SO lucky to have received 4 massive bins of clothing from a coworker so we haven’t bought virtually any clothes. Her generosity is amazing and it’s saved us so much money! Plus she has super cute style so I’m happy to borrow her baby clothes 🙂 But now all the newborn onesies and sleepers are washed and in the dresser, all ready to go. I still need to order a crib mattress and our stroller, our carseat should be delivered next week, and then we’ll be all set with the essentials.
Honestly this pregnancy has been flying by. I keep waiting for time to slow down and maybe it will after Christmas. Now we’re nearing the home stretch and it’s starting to become more of a reality that life is going to change forever. We know we can’t really prepare for what life with a newborn is like – which is a relief and scary at the same time. I know my husband is going to be a fantastic dad (and he’s SO excited for our baby girl!!!) but it’s still crazy how much our life will change in a few short months.
I’m super excited for these next few months – both the holidays and this awesome time in our lives. It’s going to be a special year and I know we’ll remember it for a long time!
