So my internet is very slow...and it won't let me comment on your post, Angela! But apparently, I can post, so I will just comment like this, ha ha.
I recognize a lot of clothes in your pics! I'm glad they are working for you :) That makes me so happy that they are being put to use, you have no idea! Aren't those shorts the best?
Love hearing about your little vacations - so good that you are getting away together as a couple before baby comes! Things change so much once you have kids...I always wonder now what in the world I did before I had kids. Hopefully I was enjoying time with my spouse as much as you seem to be :)
And this is just my random two cents after reading about you working out (way to go - it can be hard to stay motivated to do normally, let alone while pregnant!) I think having a strong core is a major contributing factor to having an easier labor. This is not really meant to be a "I am so great" brag, but I have had a super strong core since i really started working out like 5 years ago - my midwives were always amazed how easily I could sit up from laying on my back when I was far along in my pregnancy, and my labors both went so smoothly, although Shea's was much easier than Hailey's. I think that is because I did toning/core muscle building exercises regularly during my first pregnancy, but not as much with my second. So even though it feels like you couldn't possibly have abs with that belly, keep it strong, girl!! Squats are excellent too. Just sayin'.
Good to hear from you :)
Those shorts are amazing! My midwife even commented on how comfy and nice they looked! And your clothes are such a blessing! I can't thank you enough. And also thanks for the core strength encouragement. My abs actually feel a tiny bit stronger after three days of swimming and using them more but I need to find some good core workouts. I would love to have an easier labor and would love to be as graceful as you were while doing it!
