The journey so far

Today, I am 31 weeks into this pregnancy.

It has been different than my first pregnancy, with little L. It has gone from constant anxiety in the first trimester to being exceptionally thankful for a healthy little bub.
I absolutely took my first pregnancy for granted. And I was definitely not as present as with this one. I believe that our previous loss has put me in a ‘better’ mindset.
A more mindful and present one.

Now, being in the third trimester, things are getting more difficult to do. Like turning from one side to the other when lying down, or just putting on shoes.
But that’s pregnancy for you.

Every day has not been smooth and easy and happy. There are times where I still feel bitterly sad for the baby we lost. But I’m always taken back to being very grateful for this little wriggly bear kicking and squirming inside my belly.

So the journey so far has been about always just taking it one day at time, because life goes on, and so do you.

Just keep swimming,
