This was the week of my pregnancy that I was dreading. Jacek is gone to Dublin for four days to do his FE1 exams, the exams which will hopefully open the way for him to become a solicitor, a career which he so wants. I really wasn't looking forward to this week at all, thirty weeks pregnant just doesn't seem to be the ideal time to be left alone and with a sick three year old in tow too. I'm counting the days until Thursday evening, when we'll see Jacek again, not least because we both miss him a lot.
I have to admit I was so emotional when he left on Sunday, I don't know what came over me. I dropped him to the bus in the city and once he had waved goodbye I cried all the way home, I literally could not stop crying. Tyler Lee was looking at me quite strangely with my big red face. I had been cleaning the house all day trying to occupy my mind and make the time go quicker, I don't think I've ever done so much cleaning since the time he's been away, the whole house has had a deep clean!
Thankfully the days are going by quite quickly and Tyler Lee is being good to, he's been going to bed so early (half six last night!) and sleeping in late in the mornings too so he's being very good to me. Tomorrow is my 26th birthday, my last birthday as a mother of one. My mam and I are going to go shopping in the city whilst Tyler Lee is at preschool. I really need to get some new clothes, I'm so sick of my old ones and feel rather uncomfortable in everything too as my bump is so high.
I've been having trouble sleeping now too. My ears keep getting sore if I lie on them for too long at night, I looked this up and apparently it's very common during pregnancy. Baby is very active at night too, they only seem to kick and move about once I lay down to go to sleep - a view to the future maybe?! I've also begun feeling a bit sick during the night, especially once I get back into bed after a toilet trip. I've had sore arms and can feel my heart thumping in my chest, it was actually quite worrying last night but hopefully it was just from the anxiety of being in the house alone, I hate it!
Hopefully next week won't be so emotional and it'll be lovely to have Jacek back. We'll be getting started on organising what will be the nursery and what will be Tyler Lee's new room so we've lots of exciting things ahead.
This week...
app.
I've been meaning to - I've not been meaning to do anything at all because I'm quite organised at the moment, although the next thing on my list is to get my hospital bag ready.
Almost in the home stretch! These last few weeks hopefully will fly by for you and soon you will be holding your wee little one in your arms. That outfit is super sweet 🙂 I can almost smell newborn baby from here!
Awww, how sweet! Glad things are going well, but sorry about the earaches! I didn't realize that was a pregnancy symptom.
Awww super sweet. I remember being 30 weeks pregnant with a toddler. I am glad your toddler is cooperating. Good luck for the last weeks. Your baby will be here soon. (Kita)
Being pregnant with a toddler can definitely be challenging at times. I remember my toddler being so excited about the upcoming birth and being able to meet her new sister!
30 weeks that is great! Sorry to hear that you are alone for a while. I know that can be so hard when you are pregnant and with a little one. I hope it is smooth sailing from here on out.
It's always hard to be alone while pregnant! Happy birthday I hope you are able to enjoy the day with your mam!
Awwww!!! This is sooo cute and sweet. I love the whole setup, and I like the crochet crown. I have a good friend who is getting ready to have her little one and she keeps me up-to-date how each which changes for her. Now, I think she is just ready for the baby to come
This is such an exciting time in your pregnancy! It can be hard when your partner isnt around to help out; everything will be back to normal soon. Happy Birthday as well!
I remember around the 30 weeks mark it became really uncomfortable for me to sleep. I'm a stomach sleeper so it was so hard for me to get comfortable. I hope you find some comfort soon. The outfit is so adorable!
I remember being so emotional during the last months of my pregnancy. You are almost there though. I absolutely love the cute outfit you have ready for your new arrival!
I remember crying over things that normally wouldn't have gotten to me that much. You do have some exciting things in your future!
Ah so exciting. I'm almost at 17 weeks and I'm miserable. I cannot wait to hit 30 weeks. I cry, throw up and am an emotional mess. - Jeanine
Hang in there you are almost done. I love this baby outfit, it is freaking adorable. I get a bit sappy whenever my Babe is away from home too.
I've never heard of ears hurting during pregnancy! So interesting! Did they say why? I love the little outfit. What is the knit crown thing?
Almost there.. enjoy your pregnancy and all the attention. Soon, you baby is going to make you smile.
Oh wow, being pregnant is hard. You go through a lot of emotional sickness and that's tough. I'm glad that you have a good son Tyler Lee to support you. 🙂 He's going to have a new sibling soon!
I love these baby outfits and you have ready for your new arrival! Exciting time in your pregnancy!
What adorable outfits!! I love all the new things that have come out since I had my youngest (he's 5)! I found that I wasn't very hungry towards the end of my pregnancies either. I just had to make sure I forced myself to eat enough to stay healthy. I''m glad you son is feeling better and wish you the best for the rest of your pregnancy!
I think they'll definitely fly by! 🙂
I didn't realise either and it only happens if I sleep on one side for too long.
Thank you so much.
More tiring than challenging I would say!
Thank you Kaitlin, thankfully my other half is home now.
It definitely is! Thank you Jennifer, I had a great day.
Thank you, I love the crown too. Good luck to your friend on her impending arrival!
It was very hard, thankfully he's home now. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes.
Oh I can imagine that it's very hard to sleep on a pregnant tummy. Thank you!
I'm not so emotional anymore, thank God! 🙂 Thank you Michelle.
It's funny what the pregnancy hormones can do to us! Very exciting things ahead.
Try to rest at every opportunity, you'll need it. Best wishes in the upcoming childbirth and Babushka sends you thoughts of tranquility and happiness. BB2U
