<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019m only ONE DAY away from my due date! After being pregnant for the past 18 months (\u2026but really thats what it feels like) I\u2019m very excited to meet this sweet baby! But I\u2019m have to be totally honest\u2026my emotions have been all across the board these past few weeks. We are prepping for a new baby, we are homeschooling, we are building (and buying) our first home, we are prepping for a move clear across the country, all in the middle of this crazy pandemic. I\u2019ve been mentally prepping for the mental strength that I would need for these crazy months, but never in one million years did I think a full blown pandemic would be thrown into the mix all at the same time.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not usually an anxious person or an overly stressed person. I am pretty dang mentally strong and I work really hard to do the things I know will get me in a good headspace (regular excercise, prayer, meditation, hard work, gratitude lists, etc). But these past few weeks have been rough. I don\u2019t feel like myself and I just can\u2019t wrap my head around all of the changes that are happening in my life right now. Some days I feel like I have a decent handle on things emotionally and some days I\u2019m extremely emotional and weepy. It\u2019s this strange person I didn\u2019t know I could be, but I am giving myself grace and taking things one day at a time. Garrett has been a huge help and support to me, and I\u2019ve also relied on close family and friends that I know I can call and just spill everything going on in my mind. There have been long periods of time where I just don\u2019t feel like posting to social media, and when those days came, I didn\u2019t post. I didn\u2019t force things. It\u2019s such a weird time in general right now. Trying to get on stories and \u201cfake it\u201d has just never been an option for me. I would much rather be transparent where I can and allow myself space to work through overwhelming and emotional days when pregnancy and pandemic hormones feel like they are taking over.<\/p>\n
Now that I am so close to delivery I am finally starting to settle into more of a peaceful spot. I really want this sweet baby to come and just fill our home and hearts with happiness! I asked you all if you had any third trimester pregnancy questions for me and you send it some great ones! I answered a lot of them in stories but I also wanted to post them here for any other mommas currently pregnant that might have similar questions. I\u2019m not really going to sugar coat my answers here. I don\u2019t think that is real or helpful. I\u2019m feeling a lot of feelings right now and they are really affecting my mental state going into this birth. Part of me wondered if I needed to be crazy positive and optimistic with my answers to sooth the worries of other soon to be moms looking to me for help and guidance\u2026but pretending that I\u2019m not feeling scared and stressed right now would actually be a disservice to the moms feeling the same feelings that I am.
