I am now in the third trimester! I’m happy we’re getting toward the end lol. While I am extremely thankful that I am pregnant and the baby is doing very well, I’m ready for her to be here. I don’t want to be pregnant anymore. Heart issues and a golf ball sized fibroid, which is causing my uterus to grow bigger and faster than it should, are making this pregnancy difficult. I can’t do as much as I normally do, I can’t keep up with my 4 year old, and we’re pretty much waiting until I’m put on a modified bed rest again.

I have also started that super fun stage of not sleeping through the night. I’m also always super hungry. As far as weight goes, I lost almost 20 lbs in the beginning and have gained 4 lbs back, so I don’t feel bad wanting to eat all the time haha.

The pinched nerve in my back is still there, but isn’t as bad as it used to be. Sitting and stretching on a yoga ball has helped so much.

Next week, I have my glucose test and a high risk appointment to check my heart, so we’ll see how those go!

if anyone would like to learn a couple tricks for carving pumpkins:

- dont cut out the top to scoop out the seeds, cut out the bottom instead. this way the pumpkin doesnt cave in on itself and lasts longer - sprinkle some cinnamon inside at the top after carving. this way when you put the candle in it smells like pumpkin pie

this is the quality content I wanna see on my dash

- rub the i sides with lemon after you’re done scooping. This will also help preserve the pumpkin

It’s fucking June, at least wait until the fourth of July, you animal.

I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of me disemboweling this pumpkin.

Do you ever become desensitized to your own trauma?? Like you’ve been dealing with it for so long that when you accidentally let it slip out in conversation and the persons like “um oh my god?” You’re like wow I forgot my life has been one unspeakable horror after another #noted

Update Time

June.08.2018

Still pregnant! I will be 19 weeks tomorrow. I had a high risk appointment the other day and we found out we’re having another girl! Last night, we put the crib back together and put the nursery together, for the most part. I just need to get little things like a few new sheets and long sleeve newborn onesies. I’m trying to get things ready earlier this time because my doctors have told me that they will induce me at 38 or 39 weeks due to my heart, just like with Donut. Which works for me- generally knowing when the baby will be here reduces some of my anxiety. Nesting has started early for me, mainly because I know family wants to come in from out of town when the baby gets here to help me. Even though family helping me makes my anxiety skyrocket. So, in my mind, the more organizing and cleaning I get done now, the less invasive my family’s “help” will feel.

Making friends on tumblr is weird. It’s like “Hi, I don’t know where you’re from but I know your kinks and exactly how depressed you were last Tuesday.”

Time for an update, I suppose...?

I’m pregnant again 🤗. According to my apps, I’m 8 weeks and 4 days. Because of my miscarriage in October, I’m super nervous and anxious this time. Although, my symptoms have been much more intense. Even stronger than when I was pregnant with Donut. The other day, we told her she’s going to be a big sister. She says she very excited about there being a baby in the house, but I don’t think she really GETS IT. My first appointment is on Monday, and I can’t wait! My pregnancies are high risk, so I see a lot more free time in my future. More time to waste on tumblr, I guess lol.
