sorry for being absent again. just a life update:
tomorrow i am 23 weeks pregnant. yay! i feel baby moving all the time now. she moves a lot when i drink cold water, eat/drink something sugary, or when i lay down. my stomach gets bigger everyday, it feels like. i’m starting to waddle when i walk now 😭
i am dealing with some pretty intense heartburn and lower back pain but otherwise i can’t complain. i genuinely love being pregnant and feeling my baby move around and i am just living my best life right now
suddenly felt sentimental 🤧 i had my first positive pregnancy tests on july 31, 2025. i tested every few days after that, because the line was so faint and i frankly felt like i was insane. but the line just kept getting darker and darker.
after multiple positive tests and supporting bloodwork, i had my first ultrasound on august 28, 2025. baby was only 6 weeks 4 days. now, i’ll be 27 weeks on sunday. baby went from being the size of a sprinkle to being a size of a papaya.
it’s just absolutely insane to me the journey i’ve been on. i’ll be hitting the third trimester at the end of the month and i can’t believe how fast yet slow it’s gone by. i feel like i’ve been pregnant forever, but also not.
idk why i’m thinking about this so much right now, i just feel sentimental and just in awe of the whole process. there’s a whole person in there just chilling and growing. and it’s hard to believe i’ll be meeting this baby before i know it 🥺
still in awe i got called privileged for…refusing to use twitter anymore considering The Everything
getting war flashbacks to an ex friend who was in the military and had ptsd from it and she would get EXTREMELY mad if you ever said people who are not in the military can also have ptsd
reached the point of pregnancy where i am starting to waddle a little 🐧
anyway I GOT A HAIR CUT
