When I first found out I was pregnant, the first thing that ran through my mind was – Wow…Jesse was right (he had told me 4 days before that there was a baby in my tummy and it was a little girl) & then absolute joy!! So much so that I burst out laughing & when I told Brent his first reaction was also laughing!
We both knew we wanted a third baby & she came at the best time – we hadn’t specifically chosen to “start trying” as we wanted to be relaxed & didn’t want the added stress of checking every month & getting wound up or upset if it hadn’t happened.
In the beginning of my pregnancy I struggled with awful morning sickness & during the third trimester I had major hip discomfort, but other than that it was absolutely perfect! I loved every second of it & will really miss those little kicks & the feeling of her being in my tummy.
Being pregnant during Covid-19 was a very strange time as I had to homeschool as well. There were 2 sides to the way I felt. I was exhausted most of the time & really learnt the value of teachers and school in general. I did feel that I lost those “alone” moments of being able to prepare for our little one, and have days where I could curl up with a good book or just nap. Having said that, my husband was amazingly supportive and allowed me time when I really needed it, just to go and have some time out. The other side that I found was that since I wasn’t rushing around doing the every day life sort of stuff, there was less expectation which did mean we could relax a bit more.
