Transitions

We hardly had much of a winter in California and now we're going into spring. With the change in light from daylight savings day last weekend, I'm relishing in the extra light at the end of the work day. It's made me feel like I have more pep in my step!

These transitions with season and time seem to reflect my own transitions. I'm in my third trimester now and starting to feel more symptoms of...

• "pregnancy brain"
  I thought this was just an old wives tale but, seriously, how many times did I walk into that room forgetting what I wanted to do?
• sleepless nights
  waking up several times in a night doesn't help me during the day but it is giving me a preview of my future!
• swollen appendages
  this doesn't happen all the time and I'm grateful I'm not heavily swollen - yet - but, the struggle is real!
• back pain
  thankfully, this is also not an everyday occurrence but, as my doctor said, the extra weight I'm carrying has thrown off my center of balance so my body is compensating for it.
• hormonal-causing attitude
  OK, this isn't an excuse but boy can I go from bubbly to irritated in a second! Sorry, husband!

Despite my discomfort, I know my overall pregnancy has been nothing compared to some women. I am grateful for the ability to still do a lot of things I typically do (exercise and being able to eat a lot of foods without feeling nauseous). And, above all else, all of this is temporary until I get to meet the baby!
