Bittersweet

I'm 90 days shy of the big day. At least that's what the doctor says.
It's a bit scary to think of how fast time flies. I can't believe I'm already into my third trimester. It will be over in a just a few short months.

It leaves me with mixed feelings. Excited about the baby. Yet also a little sad. I'm gonna miss being pregnant. The precious months of carrying a child seem to pass too soon.

Especially your first pregnancy. A voyage of discovery. Learning so much about how your body can change and adapt. It's amazing, really. To think of what the human body goes through.

Thoughts of labor I try to push to the back of my mind. Definitely not something I wanna think about right now. It's inevitable, I know. But I'll take it as it comes.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
