Thoughts About Our Little One

I’ve drafted this post more times than I can count. I’ve deleted sentences, added them, and replaced them, but still ended with a blank screen each time. But then I realized, if I really want to document this pregnancy, my first pregnancy, there were definitely some things I wanted to remember.I want to remember how just a short month or two ago a little kick or punch meant the world and now it doesn’t even compare to the little fish swimming inside of me non-stop. The feeling is incredible and something I never want to forget. I want to remember how feeling and seeing her move around has been my favorite part of pregnancy. I want to remember how the first trimester and the beginning of the second felt like it drug on and how quickly time is passing during the second half of carrying her.

Coffee has been my only aversion but lattes and iced coffee are fine? Avocado toast, breakfast foods, and sushi have been some of my favorite go-to’s. Back pain has been on and off and the only source of discomfort. I’ll take it! Going to the gym has been one of the best things I’ve done during the second and third trimester. Although running is just flat out funny.


I still remember and laugh how certain Eric and I were that we were having a boy, only to find out we’re in fact expecting a girl. The feeling was so strong it took a few weeks for me to wrap my head around the fact that we are having a little girl. Now, I can’t picture this not being the case. I want to remember how Eric and I pray for this little life and all that is in store for her each night. We love keeping her name a secret but also can’t wait to share it. I love how when Eric comes home from work, she starts moving in my stomach, even after being completely still prior to hearing his voice. It’s the cutest.I want to remember how grateful I am and how thankfulness doesn’t even begin to describe this feeling. I already know I will miss parts of this stage. At the same time, I can’t wait for May to arrive and to see her little face! Here’s to the next few months of growing this cutie!
