I haven’t posted much pregnancy stuff lately, I have a few friends who recently suffered miscarriages and it just doesn’t feel right to be posting. Mostly it ends up being cat pics haha but follow away!

We’ll have to see who goes into labor first… I bet you’ll “win” if Baby Beni is anything like his/her sister 😉 And I will say that pregnancy (for me) has been harder the second time around… so I’ll let you know if it’s worth it in the end – hahaha! I never had pelvis pain with the first one but am feeling a little heavier down there this time around, so I’m hoping that means this baby is lower, which would be a good thing! Do you have an IG handle that I can follow so I can see any cute bump/baby pics?! I love following moms who are due around the same time as me!

But oh man, do I relate to all of this. I am so sore. My whole pelvis hurts…I don’t even know what or why, but somewhere in there hurts. And rib pain. Ugh. I am so. done. And so far to go…this is my first, and he’ll be lucky if he gets siblings.

In about 8 weeks, though, I’ll probably be ready for the baby to come OUT. 😉

I’m now going to look up foods that block absorption… I knew Vitamin C helps absorption so was eating oranges with the iron, but I still don’t feel great most days, especially at night. Now I’m wondering if it’s a heartburn / acid reflux problem, because I have both of those lovely symptoms, too. Thankfully, no digestion problems (wait, are heartburn and acid reflux digestion problems?!) – so that’s one less thing to worry about!

Of course I say that to everyone over 30 weeks pregnant, and I know it could still be a while! But ohmygosh that story sounds horrible! Maybe I should take my rings off soon – YIKES. Will they be able to fix your ring?!

And I agree, the driver was a bit crazy to stop for me, but since it was a mostly empty intersection it was pretty drama-free 🙂 I appreciate the (what I’m assuming was) chivalry, though!

This is definitely nature’s way of prepping me to be excited about labor & delivery / life with a newborn! I’m not quite there yet, but I know it’s only going to get more uncomfortable every day!
