2nd trimester: Feeling frustrated instead of excited

I’m officially in my second trimester! While the physical load of symptoms have certainly lightened, I’ve been feeling this new mental cloud of frustration.

My clothes are now a little more snug and I know this is the start of me never seeing this body again. I sound dramatic, I know! But it makes me a little sad. It’s taken a lot of growth and time to feel comfortable in my skin and finally in my 30s, I really got to know myself and my body. And now it’s changing again but for good.

I’m also here with my cat on my lap and my dog peacefully chewing on a toy lol. I’m sad knowing this will probably not be our norm and our little evening routine will have to be adjusted too.

So many other things I’m realizing now will no longer be my norm and I’m learning to slowly accept it, but I can’t help but feel a little frustrated. I’m aware that I’m going to be welcoming the biggest blessing into my life in a few months and I should be happy, I just feel anxious.

Yes this pregnancy was planned lol. I’m being an emotional preggo! Who else feels this way?
