7 months

7 months kinda snuck up on me. I actually thought I was still 6 months, but at my recent check-up, I realized I'm in the last trimester now! Because I'm so engrossed in work, the pregnancy has gone by quickly; yet because I feel so much bigger and more awkward than with Tesla, there is a part of me thinking, "3 more months?" I waddle now, breathe hard when climbing stairs, and sometimes get stuck in positions where Dav needs to shove me or pull me out. Being almost 5 years older than when I had T surely has something to do with it, but having a 2nd child is also a reason. My body got into full swing pregnancy mode from the get-go.

Overall, all good. Itching is my first complaint, followed by heart burn. One thing different from the pregnancy with Tesla is with her, I didn't have expectations, and although I enjoyed pregnancy, I didn't feel particularly connected to her in utero since I didn't know it was Tesla. Does that make sense? Now I know who she is and have a profound love for her, but she was abstract when in the belly. And I was so focused on how having a baby would change Dav and my blissful couplehood, I liked staying pregnant since it gave us more time just to be the two of us.

However, with this 2nd one, I do feel more attached because she is T's sister. That makes this baby already have an identify for me. I find myself definitely eager to meet her, and really looking forward to seeing what she looks like, seeing her with Tesla, seeing how she is unique. There are days when I can't wait : )

I owe Ele a picture of this top and jeans. The top is so comfortable but still manages to look nice. From the front, you can almost not notice the belly, no?
