3rd Trimester Update

August 5, 2019

Hello my Beauties,

It’s been a crazy summer! Unfortunately, my family and I have been dealing with the passing of a loved one, and it has been challenging. It has been a season of change for sure; however, God is always good. He always comes through and provides comfort, strength, the right people to stand with you, and shows you who are the fake ones. Regardless of the pain, I am so thankful for the growth that comes from these seasons in life.

Anywayyysss…  I am officially in my third trimester; 35 weeks pregnant which is a little over 8 and half months, and yall I am in a full-blown panic. There are 5 weeks (maybe less) left and  NOTHING, I Repeat NOTHING is done!  This pregnancy has been so weird for me, I have been super nauseous and fatigued couple that with stressful outside circumstances, I feel like I haven’t been able to enjoy it truly. I am still eating my weight in carbs and fried food and haven’t been able to stomach red meat or chicken. I really miss burgers! Can we also talk about heartburn… OMG heartburn is no joke, I really forgot how intense it is when you are pregnant.

My weight has been at a very weird place, I initially lost over 17 lbs in my first trimester from the morning sickness, and I’ve since then gained it all back, so I guess so far I’ve gained 17 pounds?! Idk really how to count it. I haven’t needed to buy maternity clothes yet; I’ve mostly been sticking to dresses. I usually hate tight dresses because of #thunderthighs, but I feel like they are the only thing that is truly bump-flattering. Loose dresses make me look like a tent.  My workout routine currently consists of attempting to go on a walk/waddle and parking my car super far at Target to force myself to walk #lazyaf

Baby boy still doesn’t have a name or a room for that matter. I know, I am really lagging.  His room currently looks like a baby store exploded in it. There are things EVERYWHERE! It’s mayhem. However, this isn’t all my fault. Technically the dresser/ changing table and crib have been ordered, its just the delivery keeps getting delayed (V. ANNOYING) So as of now I am just going through my registry purchasing the things I know I will need regardless along with room decor and all, so when the furniture decides to show up we will be ready. As far as his name, the list is being narrowed down; however, I still don’t have a name I am truly in love with for him. I think it’s one of those scenarios where I will have to wait till he is born and see his perfect little face to decide on.

You guys, this pregnancy has made me super emotional and very sentimental, maybe because I know it’s my last one? I don’t know, but I find myself crying over THE most random things ever. In addition, I have completely flipped and am beyond excited to have a little boy.  Like just imagining a little boy in my arms makes me want to melt. I am legit tearing up as I type this. Ummmm … WTF is wrong with me yall? THIS IS NOT ME! Damn pregnancy hormones!

Well, guys cannot believe this is my last pregnancy update! It’s very bittersweet. I am excited about this next chapter and introducing you to my little guy. I will be doing a lot more baby-related posts in addition to the beauty/fashion/lifestyle content you already know and love.
