The third trimester, what everyone seems to dread. It's usually when you have the most aches, pains, & discomfort! Yes, all of that was very true of this pregnancy. As much as I enjoy being pregnant, this time around was very different. If I'm being honest, I was ready for Ivy to make her debut around 34 weeks and time seemed to drag on. It wasn't just because of the obvious physical reasons I was ready to not be pregnant (nausea, back pain, joint pain, swelling, etc), but it was because I was ready to take the plunge & start the transition into newborn life! I'm the type that wants to just do it & get it over with. Anticipation seems to be worse than anything for me... My emotions seemed to be all over the place with excitement to meet our girl, yet fear & hesitation of what a new baby could do to our family and my relationship with my son continued to creep in! The fears consumed me and I was just ready to not live in that anticipation anymore, but to live the reality of whatever life might bring! ... I'll admit, it was such a relief and blessing from God that we welcomed sweet Ivy at 38 weeks and she was definitely worth that long wait!
