16 weeks 💛

16 weeks today and baby is saying hi to the world 🌍 picture 1) update sign 2) how I really feel 💤&😊

.

🌱"the baby is GROWING Ms. Justice" - at least one student tells me every day ❤️

.

😴 I have yet to discover this glorious "second trimester boost of energy" everyone keeps lying to me about (I've honestly been more tired the past weeks than I have the entire pregnancy)

.

🎈🎈 pregnant purchases this week: maternity pants, the most epic pregnancy pillow ever, magnesium capsules to aid in digestive issues, and Sonicare toothbrushes because I was convinced it will make me healthier 😂

.

Still feeling really great overall, but could honestly sleep for days. And now that I'm showing I'm getting more and more comments from other people about my appearance! Someone said to me jokingly yesterday: "Are you sure there's just one in there??"

.

I initially laughed because I have a friend who really wants it to be twins 😂 but then later I reflected more and was thinking "dang, I'm super grateful I got into coaching, started truly loving myself, and have not only established a really healthy lifestyle, but a deep self love that comments like that don't even effect me....

.

But then I thought of how common it is for pregnant women to have unsolicited comments about everything on a daily basis..

.

So, I just want to say, for any pregnant mamas out there - you are perfect ... whether you're "all belly" or experiencing a growth spurt in weight, or whatever the hell is happening ... your body is changing - it NEEDS to change. You're growing a freaking HUMAN! You've got two (possibly more if your preggo with multiples) hearts growing inside you! You're basically a super hero so don't let ANYONE'S opinion of how you look, how fast or slow you're gaining weight, or any other crazy comments & opinions people feel so entitled to share impact you or your TRUTH that you are already doing everything right. You're taking care of yourself and your baby will get everything they need. Don't doubt your internal mother abilities. ❤️💛 and ALWAYS remember, any negativity someone is placing on you is simply a reflection of them, not you!
