Well second trimester seemed to be a breeze and I felt great. No nausea, no heartburn, no indigestion, great appetite. It was great, that is, until third trimester rolled around. I was really hoping that I could be as active as I was while pregnant with Lily but that wasn't the case. I felt so tired and had no energy. As I got bigger it got harder to walk, my sciatic nerve was giving me a tough time, my back was in constant pain and I was mega waddling. I didn't get puffy ankles or feet with this pregnancy like I did with Lily. Needless to say, I did not work until the end. The doctor was kind enough to give me the choice of leaving work at week 36 but my dumb ass requested week 37 (3/6) because I wanted to finish up the unit we were on to give the class to the sub on a clean slate, so to speak. Thankfully I was able to relax (as much as a pregnant woman could), and nest, for a couple weeks before the boy came along.
I was blessed with great friends both at work and outside of work by receiving two baby showers. One a few days before I stopped working and the other the weekend after my last day of work. The DeLaOs felt the love of so many wonderful people loving our son even before he was here. I thank all of you for such great gestures and amazing hearts!
