3 Trimesters Down ~ Here Comes Baby

We are just days from D-day. While this pregnancy was overall better than my first, there were still some rough patches in the third trimester {minor sciatic nerve pain, minor back pains and general discomfort at times...normal stuff}. The biggest difference at the end was that Emrie never really sat that high, so I just got the general kicks to the bladder, but this baby jabs me up under the ribs CONSTANTLY and sometimes knocks the wind out of me. I am really thankful I didn't experience the EXTREMELY swollen legs, heartburn or severe leg cramps that I had with Emrie.

I finally gave in and stopped running at 33 weeks {I only ran until about 26 with Emrie}, but continued to do the stairmaster, eliptical, walking and body weight exercises up to the end even though I had to slow down on everything.  Let's hope it makes delivery and recovery faster.

Take a look back at the FIRST and SECOND trimesters!
Let's do another little comparison between Emrie and BVG2:











I was induced at 39 weeks and 3 days with Emrie, so this is where the comparison pictures will end...but let's pray that this little baby girl gets here soon because not only am I uncomfortable, but we are all DYING TO MEET HER!!!
