PSA: Baby is here how-ev-er I’m still going to upload these blogposts I had sitting around in my drafts
Chapter 3.
I'll be honest, this trimester has been very overwhelming. I’ve been dealing
with some great changes and although everything is well it’s getting too
much. Did that make sense lol ?! tries to make sense of it Basically the things I had prayed for
are coming thruuu and it’s like wow God thanks *pew, next blessing* ok
God, amazing *pew pew* wow God I don’t know how ima deal with this but
yass *pew pew pew* whew chile the blessings.
But listen all I can do is thank God, He is in control and ive got this
Ive decided to NOT have a baby shower. I love events, I live for events but
I dunnoo. I’m good.
I dunnoo. I’m good.
I think.
It's
that overwhelming feeling ive been experiencing, I don’t want to add to that. I’ve also
decided I do not want a surprise shower. Let’s put it this way, if it’s not
exactly how I want it.. I dont want it. Writing that down makes me sound
like a bitch LOL. When I made my plans I wanted to go all out, flowers
here, pink there, a bit of gold there, catering over there, cocktails
galore THE FULL MONTY BABE but let me just chill on this one. I’ll
celebrate when she’s here *Joanne the scammer smirk*
I have created a wish list on thingstogetme.com
and sent it to everyone who would have been invited. I hope they
remember to buy stuff🙂, I mean usually you buy stuff last minute on your
way to your friends baby shower but now there isn’t one...Who and what
will remind them?
Don’t
worry though if no one gets me anything, we’ve got this! Ive started to
buy things already. Luckily I know what I need and I know the things I
won’t actually use from when I had my son. I’m such a hoarder, the less I
buy the better. I’m planning on replacing her clothes every season. As
in buying 0-3 month clothes and accessories first then giving it to charity
once she outgrows it then buying 3-6 months etc. I need as much space as possible with 2 children so im hoping this technique will make a big difference.
Welp. My clothes don’t fit me.
Literally nothing
in my wardrobe fits. Not a thing. I’m wearing like 3 outfits (barely)
on rotation at this point. These outfits usually consist of leggings,
and yeezys. I’ve gone from a size 8/10 to 14 babes, this is different
for me. I haven’t bought any new clothes because my new size sells out
fast and tbh I don’t like anything out there right now.
My
body is definitely feeling the pressure this trimester. I can barely
stand up and laying down is uncomfortable. If you feel the same way I
would recommend a pregnancy pillow. CLICK ME I sleep/rest with mines on the side
of my belly and in between my legs and it’s pure bliss. Its also great because baby can use it once she's here. Another ‘thing’ I
tried was a pregnancy massage at Nobu hotel. Whew chile, I had a
package and I was so worried they wouldn’t let me do the massage part
due to me being pregnant. Sis, they had a whole massage ready for me. I
wish I knew my masseuse name, she was incredible! She asks how your
pregnancy has been and where your problem areas are and gets to werk.
You know it’s a good massage when you fall asleep! I left there feeling
goodt.
As
the beginning is near I look forward to seeing what my baby looks like.
I can’t wait to see her little personality. I cant wait to read her all the books ive bought her. I can’t wait to dress her
in cool little fits like meee. I can’t wait to buy her natural hair products. I
can’t wait to teach her to love herself. I can’t wait to teach her how
to win!
I
look forward to meeting her, it feels like forever now. Plus I’m
starting to get the “are you having twins” question *insert the Viola
Davis meme*
