28 weeks and we took a mini “babymoon” weekend trip to relax

Amy • Biz owner, was a teen mom to a now 18 year old 🩷. Baby #2 was a 5 week NICU warrior born @ 34 weeks in August 2020 💙. Baby #3 born at 33+2 in June 2023, currently in NICU 🩷

So this pregnancy has been rough, my HG caused me to lose some pretty good weight and I haven’t been able to regain it all yet, but getting close. I also got slammed with pretty bad antepartum depression and have been really struggling to find any kind of joy in the madness that is the world these days... including and joy in this pregnancy. We still haven’t told our friends or families (with the exception of a few on his side) that we are even pregnant, we just hit the 3rd trimester this week and literally no one knows. It’s been a long 6 months, and with everything else going on in the world it just got so heavy and didn’t feel like something I even wanted to celebrate anymore. I hate feeling this way

My partner has been so wonderful and supportive but I know it’s been weighing on him too. He’s also coping with the fact that his mother will likely not make it to the end of the year due to COPD and lung cancer... so 2020 has been a complete shitshow. We live in MA where the positive test results are below 2%, so we’re at least able to breathe a bit in that sense. I booked us a private cottage in the New Hampshire lakes region so we’d be far away from people and able to just relax for a minute. We took some pictures that I will *hopefully* be sharing with friends and family soon, but I figured I’d put them here where I don’t know anyone personally. Not the best pictures in the world but not bad for an inexperienced photo taker with an iPhone 7 and a tripod 🤣
