Pregnancy is....

Pregnancy is (especially in the 3rd trimester)...

...feeling hungry all the time and never being able to eat enough to feel satisfied.
...waking up to a sweet, little baby moving inside you after a restless night of sleep.
...having your ribs constantly popped out of place to make room for the little growing guy inside.
...visiting the bathroom every 2 hours.
...laying on your side when all you really wanna do is be on your stomach.
...practicing breathing and relaxing techniques as your uterus tones itself.
...learning to allow your friends, family, and amazing husband help you organize your new home because you've been told to take things easy.
...seeing your husband in the most loving way as he does everything he possibly can to help you be happy.
...getting a nightly massage by your loving husband to help ease exhausting rib pain. 
...learning to be patient and kind on days when you feel like being anything but patient and kind.
...waking your husband up in the middle of the night because he doesn't want you to be awake alone.
...reminding yourself to sometimes just be in the moment when pregnancy seems to be at it's hardest.
...knowing that despite all your discomfort and exhaustion that you'll soon meet the love of your life that will make it all worth it.

And even when I feel like I can't wait for this little guy to make his appearance, I'm loving being able to protect him in the way only a pregnant mama can. For he is the only one who knows what my heartbeat sounds like from the inside.
