Things in pregnancy, specifically twin pregnancy, I never could have understood before getting pregnant...
1. Uncomfortable doesn't even describe the true level of discomfort! My back has ached in places I never knew could ache. Laying down doesn't give relief like I feel it should. Sitting for too long fires up those achey spots on my back. IT'S BIZARE!
2. Large is an understatement! Now that I'm in the third trimester I wake up every day in amazement at how much bigger I am every day...(maybe I didn't really get bigger overnight, maybe I'm just shocked to see myself again haha.)
3. In order to do things you normally do you have to get a little creative. For example, to do dishes I face the side, I use my toes for grabbing and gathering stuff on the ground, I utilize my husbands help too much HAHAHAHA sorry babe.
4. Pregnancy glow is real...BUT only depending on how you feel about yourself and what's taking place with your body. I've noticed that I truly glow when I am excited and in wonder at the miracle(s) taking place in my body. Yeah things are changing DRAMATICALLY, yeah I have a lot more stretch marks than I did before, and yeah my breathing is loud all the time and very pug like...BUT I really feel beautiful and amazing and I know that brings out the glow.
5. Pregnancy is hard and it takes some serious mental strength! Keeping a grateful journal and setting little daily goals along with positive affirmations (thanks Aunty Tia for the grateful journal training!) can take any hard day and turn it into a day you can CONQUER!!!
6. I AM A SUPERHERO!!!! How incredible is it that a living human being is growing inside me, and not just one but TWO!!!??? It's truly amazing! No matter what discomfort, not so pretty cosmetic body changes, and hard days come I am a true super hero and my body is doing something truly God-given! There is a plan for us and procreation is part of that miraculous plan for his daughters!
I'm so grateful for this blessing of experiencing pregnancy and CANNOT wait to meet my little angels!!!
