First trimester in your later 30s
It is surreal and so happy to be sharing about my third pregnancy at 38, six and eight years later after my first two and after divorce and losses of other kinds. I’ve always wanted three kids, but a couple years ago I was pretty sure it was never going to happen, and I accepted how lucky I am to have two wonderful kids already. But then I met Micah, and we both wanted the same things… Get married, have another baby, accept all the changes that come with such a big lifestyle shift at this point in life.
But all that to say, I knew going into it that pregnancy is not a walk in the park, but also, things change as you get older. This pregnancy has a few differences from the last two, and I seriously enjoyed reading back to those posts when I was seven weeks in and feeling awful… So here’s this post for documenting this incredible and very weird time.
The kids are so sweet and excited
