Positives and Negatives

Pregnancy is full of symptoms and side effects that are sometimes really hard to deal with, especially now that I'm well into my 3rd trimester and I feel uncomfortable almost every day. I am grateful to be getting close to the end of this amazing journey of bringing my little girl into the world. Mainly my anticipation is for meeting this precious little person, but I can't lie, I want my body back.

Although most of the symptoms are negative, the last few weeks I have found one positive! My nails are amazing! Typically my nails are really thin and break easily, but right now they are nearly unbreakable. I didn't really grow them out on purpose but it just kind of happened because they weren't breaking like the typically would. So I decided to go ahead and take advantage of my one positive side effect and give myself an manicure.

Yup, those are my real nails.

I had a friend take some better belly shots.

What's new lately? Sleeping has really been hard, heartburn randomly but not unmanageable, and trying but failing miserably at trying to stay away from sugar. Hopefully once Christmas is passed I can get into a better pattern but it's just so hard with holiday treats everywhere I go.

Next prenatal appointment is Thursday and I'm looking forward to my upcoming baby showers!
