I’ve just reached the third trim and it’s an altogether different challenge for me. I feel heavier every day and it doesn’t help that I have to do a lot of moving around the house with all the packing we’ve been doing. The only good thing is that despite the packing, I’m not compelled to clean the house very much since it seems to be pointless now. Every corner of the house is slowly being set aside either for selling or for storage.

Aside from a heavier tummy, our baby’s movements are also getting stronger each day. There are times when certain movements would be painful. However, I am slowly getting impatient (how contrasting!) with the pregnancy. Although I’m in no hurry to have the huge delivery expense right now, it would really be a relief if I could move around with a non-pregnant body.

Also, I’ve been having problems with constipation. Not so unusual for me and for pregnant women. I remember considering the best colon cleansers back when I was pregnant with Mateo and having the same problems. The only way I am solving this problem right now is to drink lots and lots of water and to eat as much fruits as I can.

So I’m almost at the finish line now. I just very well might give birth after two months. So we’re rushing a lot of things as well, moving, processing as many papers as we can, et cetera. Still, I get excited every time I think about holding our baby girl soon. I’m sooo looking forward to girly clothes and shoes.
