We now have 3 1/2 months to go until I give birth to our sweet baby boy!! That’s 14 weeks until our lives change forever and our hearts are filled with more love than we can imagine. Just two weeks shy of our 3rd trimester, neither Brad or I can believe how quickly and joyfully our pregnancy has moved along. I definitely encountered some peculiar symptoms in my 2nd trimester: Restless Leg Syndrome, leg calf muscle spasms, heartburn, and the worst kind of acid reflux. I also caught a cold and had nasal congestion for about a week. In order to eliminate the acid reflux I sadly learned I had to give up some of my favorite treats: fruit juices, any citrus fruit, STRAWBERRY LEMONADE, fried foods, spicy foods, vinegar, chocolate, and yes…. even Brad’s famous chocolate banana milkshakes! Sniff sniff….. However, the 2 greatest highlights of my 2nd trimester have been watching my belly grow each week and feeling the daily kicks and movements of our little guy! We have already started bonding with him by watching the vibrations on my belly (from his little kicks and punches), talking to him, and rubbing my belly when he moves. We cannot wait to hold our little one in our arms! As this trimester comes to a close, I couldn’t resist going on a mini shopping spree (and simultaneously Old Navy was having their baby sale)! I picked up the most ADORABLE little swim trunks, onesies, and beach boy outfits that look like miniature versions of Brad’s clothing! :)
