What I’m wearing in my 3rd pregnancy

I got rid of everything baby related items from 0-12months, maternity wear, and I think most of the baby gear too. So I’m on the hunt for only the essentials this time around. I still want to get a rolling bassinet for the baby, and then for the clothes we still need a few more items. We have time! I think!

But this time around I knew what I wanted to wear. I don’t tend to wear many maternity tops and just stick to oversized tees and sweaters. But considering how big my belly gets with these ten pounders I knew I wanted a specific style of maternity pants. I bought these leggings from Target, love ’em. But I bought them a bit too big and they do slide down throughout the day.

I am an avid lover of all things Blanqi Girls makes, so I reached out to them a few months back and they sent me a lot more than I asked for which ….isn’t that the best? I already did my social posts for them and they have no idea I’m writing a post about their leggings but honest to golly their maternity support leggings are the absolute must-haves in my opinion. They just FEEL different on the belly, and that’s because they have some magical built in belly support band that makes my belly feel completely weightless and does not slide down. If you’re pregnant and not knowing what to put on that Christmas and Holiday wishlist this year – thiiiiiiis is it.

Big and healthy babies runs in this family

Well there is baby # 3! That is so wild for me to say….a third baby.

This photo is over two months old at one of the growth scans I had done in either July or August. The other week I had a fetal echo to check on baby’s heart. All’s well. But of course I’m known on my chart as “oh you’re the one with the ten pound babies!“. Yes, I am. And this one is following suit. Baby is proportionately large with legs and arms measuring 4 weeks ahead at some measurements and everything else at the 99th percentile. Big n’ healthy babies is what runs in this family.

3rd baby feels: overly protective

I know I mentioned this on my social feeds, but … I feel the most protective over this third pregnancy than the other two. After I finally announced the pregnancy to close friends and family I had some responses that made me clam up and frankly was disappointed in their reactions.

Whether they knew it or not I received some unfavourable responses to finding out what we’re having and also dared to ask whether or not this pregnancy was planned. How bold. Which is why lately I’ve decided to wait to announce what we’re having. You’ll know in December.

Although my presence online is …here….I still feel quite private with a lot of my life. As you may have seen in my IG stories this little one has given me a few stressful moments with two trips to the hospital for monitoring for preterm labour and second time was baby’s heart rate dropped to the 80s, I want to keep this baby growing til fullterm. ????????.
