The Third Trimester

I'm now in my seventh month pregnant and time just doesn't seem to fly at all. But when I look back from where everything started, yes, time has flown. But right now everything seems to stand still. It might be that I've been too much at home. I'm more than ready to welcome our little princess to this world but I guess the time is not yet.. Oh well, I just need to be patient.

It's so wonderful to feel the baby moving inside me. This week has been incredible to feel how much she has grown. Now I really can feel kicks and they are strong! It's also amazing to feel her rolling around my womb and sometimes feeling her back or butt or head (don't really can tell the difference yet which one I can feel, but anyway it's definitely bigger than a foot). The fact that I can feel her so strong now has made me (finally) realise that there's actually a real human inside me. It's same time exciting and frightening. I also enjoy to let my husband to touch my belly when ever she's moving. I want him to get a little piece of that what I'm experiencing and to connect with her already. I can't wait to see him holding her!

I have been looking forward to this third and final trimester. Every Monday I'm excited to start a new week and realise that The Time is becoming closer. The horrible morning sickness seems to be so far away and I remember saying to my husband that I don't know if I can do this another time because it was so horrible. But it's funny how sometimes the bad memories fade away.

One of our favourite hobbies is travelling.

I've been reading and hearing about the third trimester so much and how tiring and exhausting it is. So, I'm now there, but still feeling quite good. I love mornings because I have the most energy during that time and I get things done. After three o'clock I start getting tired and have less energy. I have also needed to slow down my daily exercises which I loved. Now I can barely go for little walk and I need to sit down. I'm happy that I can still ride a bike. We go almost everyday for bicycle ride with my husband and I love it! So, I guess I'm not that far away anymore to get the rest of the third trimester symptoms. I just feel sometimes so funny in my body. It feels very often that it's not mine. I'm not used to have a belly and I feel so clumsy and injured. I feel especially now that I have some surgical wound in my stomach because it's very sensitive. I can sleep only on my both sides and moving around is so difficult, not speaking about getting up. Also my back gets tired very fast and I can't be in the same position very long. Everyone keeps telling me that it's getting even more difficult. I'm also already thinking about how I can get back to the shape.

My sugar free diet has been going quite good so far. I've had major cravings almost everyday (today I didn't yippee!). I don't know when that starts to get easier. I'm now more excited to do groceries because I can buy so much vegetables and now in the summer time they are super cheap! I'm also excited to eat healthier because it feels so good. I really hope not to get back there where I was. I guess I just need that decision not to go there. I also need more information about bad food and what bad food makes to your body. That's the way I work. The more information I get the more convinced I am and want to stay there.

We love bicycling!

Tomorrow is our first anniversary and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm still so in love with my husband! He really is God's gift to me. He knows me so well and knows how to handle me; gently, with care and love. I never could've imagine how someone can get to know me so deeply inside and out. I love that feeling. He knows all my faces and knows if something is not right without asking me or if I refuse to admit that. I'm so happy to be married to him.
