Again I say, where is the time going. Summer is going by in a flash and my second trimester went along without a hitch. THANK GOD! Glucose test – check! Iron test – check! So here we are already in the last trimester, plump (up 16 lbs!) and healthy. The belly has doubled in size, feet swelling is becoming a big giant reality (pun intended), and healthy eating has been slowly replaced by some serious “I only a couple more months left to eat whatever I want” cravings. Its a real shame In-N-Out is on my way home every.single.day!
Aside from pregnancy health, the last couple months saw busy days of nursery prep – see my inspiration here – and European Babymoon bliss….more on that fun stuff later!
