Pregnancy during the summer time

Sharing is caring!

We planned this pregnancy around January and were pregnant in February (I guess you can call me fertile myrtle) during this time I was excited because with Maddie Bear I was pregnant during the winter, so being pregnant during the summer would be a great experience, well- at least that’s what I thought. After being pregnant during the months of May, June, July, and August I have come to the realization that I will NEVER get pregnant around this time again.

For the most part I will say it has been ok but this heat is beyond unbearable. I wake up in the middle of the night just to change my shirt because I’ve sweated the other one out. I’m always sweating so that means even on my face, so, I can’t even where my make-up and with all the changes I’m experiencing I need it….hahaha

With Madison I didn’t deal with complications, laziness, or a desire to just lay around all day but this pregnancy is beyond different. So, what they say is true- every pregnancy is different. Having a toddler running & jumping around all day and wanting me every 5 mins just makes things a little worse. I love being at home with Maddie but being pregnant with this baby and staying home with Maddie has really taken a toll on me.  I feel like I haven’t given her all the attention that she wants or needs. Yes- we play but not as much as we use to and I just don’t have the energy I did when I was 5 months pregnant. The bigger I get the more sluggish I am.

With my husband, I must say I have a GREAT man! We’ve had plenty of arguments, silent treatments, and all of the above x 2 since I’ve been pregnant but I’m so grateful that he’s been patient with me and has really helped out, more than most men would. He’s gotten on my nerves and vice versa but the love that we have for each other always out weighs all of that other stuff. Today he came home during his lunch break and I was having another pregnancy “emotional” breakdown and I asked him to pray for me and he started to pray. Tears begin to run down my face and all I could do was thank God for sending me a man of prayer! I’m so thankful for that prayer because within a few mins I was back on track. He’s been so understanding at times and for the past few days has been VERY patient with me. He downloaded a Pregnancy Workout routine and I did it for the first time today and at the end she tells us to relax and breathe in and out and I fell alseep so I’m hoping the next time that won’t get the best of me but will give me a burst of energy.

I am praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby and that’s my heart’s desire. Even though this heat is getting the best of me, seeing her little face is going to be such a Joy!
