Wow, how time has flown. I'm officially in my third trimester of pregnancy and I'm already feeling the changes in my body. Unlike the second trimester, I'm having difficulties sleeping. If I even get 4 hours of sleep, a day, I'm lucky. I'm also wobbling when I walk because of the pain I feel in both my back and legs. My pelvic area is so painful, especially when I'm in bed. It literally takes me about 2 minutes to roll over in bed. It takes me much longer to get out of it. My little princess has been moving a lot and kicking. I actually look forward to her kicks cause I know that she is alive and well. I've increased my water intake, not by force, surprisingly. I'm actually craving water like no other. I've also added Iron supplements to my daily prenatal vitamins, since I've been feeling a bit light headed and weak. Emotionally, I'm feeling terrified at the thought of going through labor. I'm not sure if its my constant viewing of TLC's "A Baby Story" or me constantly viewing videos on YouTube of women in labor, but I'm afraid. You never know your pain tolerance until that moment happens. At times, I feel that I have a high tolerance level, but when women describe the entire ordeal, I wonder if I'm strong enough. I want to start doing some prenatal Yoga to get my body prepared for labor, along with some walking, around the park. I do a lot of walking at work, but it may not be enough. I'm also stressed with trying to get my room baby ready for the arrival while trying to find a venue for my baby shower. If I had someone to take control of both, I would be in heaven right now, but I'm too much of a control freak to allow that to happen. I hope that everything falls into place.
