This last trimester has been full of emotions, which didn’t differ too much from my pregnancy with Aria. My whole outlook during this trimester has been better though because I wasn’t stressing as much and didn’t have my hopes up that Archer would come early like I had with Aria. but I wouldn’t say I’m a huge wine drinker. Playing with Aria: It made me so sad to tell Aria I couldn’t pick her up or race her to her playground.

The plan was to go into the hospital on Sunday evening and since I was induced with Aria at 41 weeks exactly, I was sure that I wasn’t going to have this little guy on my own. I called into the hospital to talk to a nurse about what I was experiencing because I really didn’t want to go into the hospital and be sent home (which happened to us when I was pregnant with Aria) and they didn’t encourage me to come in. I later heard from my mom that she saw my doctor running through the hospital to get to me on time, which scared my mom haha. My nurses told me my labor reminded them of a scene from Knocked Up, Blake said he felt like a racecar driver trying to get to the hospital on time, Aria may or may not think her mom is a crazy person, and I am still in disbelief that I actually survived a natural labor.

Happy Monday everyone! The final week of my pregnancy is FINALLY here and I could not be more excited than I am right now. I’m so ready! It’s so weird to think about our little family of 3 growing to a family of 4 but I’m really looking forward to seeing Aria as a big sister and experiencing twice the love
