Today as I’m writing, I’m sitting at my desk looking out at (partly) blue skies and sunshine, and it honestly makes such a difference in my mood! We also took advantage of the sunny weekend with long walks in the Heath, which always makes me feel really energized! So at the moment I’m feeling really good, both physically and mentally. I like this period of pregnancy when energy levels are up and you’re not too physically burdened by a big bump!
The baby’s kicks are starting to get stronger and stronger, even to the point where they wake me up at night. I don’t mind though – I like the occasional reminders of a little life inside me. My oldest son, Easton, can feel the baby kicking, which is quite fun for him. He’s at the age (3_) where they start to understand pregnancy and babies, so he is getting excited about the idea. I think he’ll be a really good big brother, or at least I’m hoping so! I’m sort of hoping (fingers crossed) that because I have two boys who are really close, they won’t be as affected by a new baby in the house. Hopefully they’ll distract one another enough that I won’t have to deal with sibling jealousy and displacement this time around. Wishful thinking maybe… but I have to tell myself these things in order to get my head round the idea of having three little kids!
