/\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI wasn't sure when I'd be posting this post if it would be at the end of my pregnancy or with my baby in my arms already. Turns out I'm sharing this three weeks after my daughter was born, so I'm a little overdue. I have an excuse, right? Since I shared a post about my first two trimesters I just had to share a post dedicated to the very last one, my third trimester. I hope you enjoy it, and let's jump in!\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAs I entered my third trimester everything felt pretty much the same and good until one morning. I woke up perfectly fine had breakfast then was sitting on my bed and had such a random dizzy spell. This is something I've never experienced and I thought maybe it was something brief that hit me. As I got up and time passed the dizziness lasted until the afternoon. I was pretty scared since again this wasn't something I ever dealt with in the past so I took lots of naps and in between naps I made sure I was drinking lots of water and snacking on something. Once I spoke to my dr the following day during my \u003ci\u003etwenty-eight\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;week appointment she told me it was normal for that to happen in pregnancy just to monitor it if it were to happen again. Luckily, it never happened again.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eUpon entering\u003ci\u003e\u0026nbsp;twenty-eight\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;weeks I began feeling a lot more movements. These movements were more frequent and they felt a lot more like twists and turns. I'm starting to even see these movements too which is so wild. I've been waiting for moments like this for so long and it's finally begun.\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI was able to see the baby in another ultrasound at\u0026nbsp;\u003ci\u003etwenty-eight\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;weeks. The technician said everything was looking great. The baby is head down and that she has a lot of hair and it's long for twenty-eight weeks. I was shocked when I heard her say that because I had no idea it was even possible to see how much hair a baby has via ultrasound. Maybe that explains all the heartburn/acid reflux I've been having. Baby girl was also weighing 2.5lbs.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eI started getting nauseous randomly. I was never able to pinpoint what was causing this, it would just happen once in a while. Sometimes in the mornings, sometimes at night. Sometimes before eating something and somethings after snacking on something. So weird and not fun.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003eI tend to crack my knees and back/hips pretty often and now at \u003ci\u003etwenty-nine\u003c/i\u003e weeks, I've noticed that baby girl tends to jumps whenever I crack my knees and or back. It's so funny because I totally forget that she does this until I go ahead and crack something then feel her jump, or maybe it's her reflex. Nonetheless, I find it to be super cute.\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMy OB asked me one time during my appointment if I had felt hiccups and I always wondered if the baby gets hiccups would I know the difference? Well, I know the difference and it's so cool! At thirty weeks pregnant she definitely gets a lot of hiccups. I told my doctor that the baby gets hiccups all the time and she told me hiccups mean she's a happy baby and that warmed my heart so much whether it's true or not.\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSince COVID Rudy still isn't allowed in any of my scans so we treated him to another private ultrasound at \u003ci\u003ethirty\u003c/i\u003e weeks. For this scan, we went with a 3D/4D ultrasound and I'm so happy we decided to do these. We took home lots of pictures and a video of her. I was shocked at how clear the 3D/4D scans are, we were able to see her features so well! She looks so much like Rudy and she for sure has his nose. We got a photo that captured her dimples! Yes, she has dimples ya'll! I have one on each cheek and Rudy only has one on one side, so maybe she got that from me?\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAnother thing I always wondered about if I were to get or not. At \u003ci\u003ethirty-one\u003c/i\u003e weeks and \u003ci\u003ethree\u003c/i\u003e days, I started getting Braxton hicks. It was weird and at times I even questioned if it was BH or not because this is my first pregnancy I have nothing to compare it to. It felt like light cramping that would come and go very randomly. Nothing painful, it felt a lot like period cramps, but not fun either I mean who enjoys having cramps?\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003eDuring my thirty-two week appointment, my OB mentioned that we might be inducing me at around 37-38 weeks due to my high blood pressure. High blood pressure is something I've had even before pregnancy, they call it the white cloak syndrome because my pressure is always high at the doctor's office and normal at home. She was just trying to be safe in case I were to develop preeclampsia even though she did say she believed it was just a chronic thing. This baby might end up being an October baby. I always had a feeling she might come early, on her own that is, now this might kind of confirms it.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003eAt \u003ci\u003ethirty-two\u003c/i\u003e weeks and \u003ci\u003ethree\u003c/i\u003e days, I had my baby shower! Once I got pregnant COVID hit shortly after and we had no idea if I would even have a baby shower, or if I did how it would look like. A drive-by? Virtual? Luckily we invited a very limited amount of family to join us in celebrating the newest member of the family and it was the best shower I could have asked for. Exactly what I wanted.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSince I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and gestational diabetes my Ob ordered an ultrasound so that we have done a growth scan on baby girl at \u003ci\u003ethirty-four\u003c/i\u003e weeks. Again, everything looked great which is literal music to my ears. The technician said she is measuring right on track and weighed just over 4lbs. My sweet little angel, I can't wait to meet her.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBy thirty-five weeks I started getting Braxton hicks more often that sometimes I even questioned if it could possibly be contractions or not. On top of having more BH I'm also starting to get some pelvic pain. I've been doing a lot of walking suggested to me due to my gestational diabetes and I'm bouncing a lot of my yoga ball. Doing those usually helps relieve some discomfort.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThirty-six weeks exactly and I'm really feeling the cramping! It's stronger, more frequent, but not very consistent so I have no clue if it's a contraction or Braxton Hicks. I have my 36 weeks appointment tomorrow and I hope my OB checks me and tells me somethings happening down there cause damn, it's starting to become a lot more painful and I can't imagine how full-on labor contractions will be.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003eThirty-six\u003c/i\u003e weeks and \u003ci\u003eone\u003c/i\u003e day I had my prenatal appointment. I had the Strep B test done, easy. Since I had that test done my OB went ahead and checked me while she was down there. She told me I was already 1cm dilated, woohoo! She also said that baby's head down in station -1 induction. I'm so glad all that cramping/discomfort meant my body is already preparing for labor. During this appointment, we did the nonstress test done and baby girl did great! Lastly, we scheduled an induction date and I'll be getting induced at 38 weeks, October 21st! I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet baby Zambrano. For some reason, I have a feeling we won't be making it until my induction day. I've had a very similar pregnancy to my mom's, and she delivered me four weeks early and my sister three weeks early. I've always had a feeling baby Z would come early because of how similar my pregnancy has been to hers. We shall see.\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis is so weird and crazy! At thirty-six weeks and four days, my water broke. I wasn't even sure if my water actually broke or if it was leaking... I knew I didn't pee myself that was for sure. It was a gush of water that soaked through my panty liner, underwear, and leggings sorry if this is TMI. I called labor and delivery and went in to get checked out. Water definitely broke, we got admitted, baby girl is coming!\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAt thirty-six weeks and five days, at 4:31 pm baby girl Zambrano was born. Weighing 5lbs 10oz 18inches long. Everything about her is perfect. Rudy and I are so in love.\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThank you so much for following me throughout my \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.ohhjuliana.com/search/label/Pregnancy?max-results\u003d12\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003epregnancy\u003c/a\u003e.

I have been dreaming and praying for this my entire life and it blows my mind that my time has finally come. I cannot believe how ridiculously fast this pregnancy has flown by.

I will probably say this with each new set of photos Rudy and I take, but these have become some of my favorites for obvious reasons. This maternity shoot was such an accomplishment for me because one, I'm finally pregnant! Even though I'm so close to the end of my pregnancy with less than five weeks to go I still can't believe we've been blessed with this miracle. Rudy and I always wanted kids and we never thought that we would have to go through what we did in order to make that dream of becoming parents come true. After so much struggle, so many tears, and heartbreaks we're finally here and so close to meeting our daughter. Today I'm sharing a batch of my favorite photos that were taken.

While undergoing fertility treatments in 2019, I became really fond of bees. To me, they represent a form of resilience something I felt I had no choice but to acquire while battling infertility. Being able to see the way this idea of mine was turned into a reality was a dream. My family, Rudy, and I had been talking and prepping for this day for months. I'm so pleased with how everything turned out.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI am extremely thankful for all of the\u0026nbsp;family and friends that have supported Rudy and myself throughout our entire fertility journey, along with all of the people who are now by our sides as we quickly approach our newest journey as parents.

How is it possible that I'm already in the third trimester? Like what, how did that happen. I swear I always heard women express how being pregnant felt never-ending and how time dragged. I've probably said this once or twice before, when I first found out I was pregnant at exactly \u003ci\u003ethree\u003c/i\u003e weeks and \u003ci\u003esix\u003c/i\u003e days pregnant, time was going by so slowly. Once I shared the news that I was expecting and no longer had that huge secret to keep I feel that was when time really started picking up. I'm going to stop rambling now, and get on to sharing my timeline of how I was feeling once I entered the second trimester along with exciting moments that happened throughout the weeks leading up until the third trimester.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nEntering the second trimester at \u003ci\u003efourteen\u003c/i\u003e weeks pregnant one of the first things I noticed was that I was slowly getting my energy back. As the weeks went by my fatigue was diminishing and I was napping less and less. I was finally feeling more and more like myself and I was so happy about this. Regaining my energy I was able to do more of my daily tasks around the house. I was feeling more productive again since I've never been one to nap and not do much throughout the day. \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI was no longer on my IVF medications and all the bloating I had going on from all the medications finally started to disappear. Around \u003ci\u003efourteen\u003c/i\u003e weeks was when I realized a tiny baby bump was making its debut. I still couldn't believe this whole \"I'm pregnant\" thing was real.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI can't remember exactly what week this began, maybe between weeks \u003ci\u003efifteen\u003c/i\u003e through \u003ci\u003esixteen\u003c/i\u003e, I had my first encounter with round ligament pain. This wasn't unbearable pain but definitely uncomfortable as this pain is caused by your uterus growing and stretching inside. Laying down and taking it easy helped ease the pain but it's a common feeling while growing a human being inside your uterus.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThis is such a weird and random one I feel but my friend said the same thing happened to her. Before \u003ci\u003esixteen\u003c/i\u003e weeks hit I started to have some strong and random gag reflex. When I say this would happen randomly, I mean it would happen very randomly. It would happen sometimes when I would brush my teeth which I hear is common with pregnant women. I had a lot of congestion and would blow my nose often and every time I would be done I could gag nonstop for a while. One main thing that was making me gag was the calcium gummy supplement I have to take. Something about it being in a gummy form would make me gag instantly and it got worse as the weeks went by. I can no longer take those and had to switch to pills.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nMy mom and friend would tell me since I'm having a girl I would feel her move pretty early on and I couldn't believe them as this was my first pregnancy its common to feel the baby from 18-22 weeks. I started feeling the baby move by\u0026nbsp;\u003ci\u003esixteen\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;weeks! I was a couple weeks shy of sixteen weeks and I started feeling something foreign in my belly that felt like a muscle spasm/popcorn popping. It wasn't frequent yet but it was such a wonderful feeling.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u0026nbsp;At \u003ci\u003eseventeen\u003c/i\u003e weeks I experienced lightning crotch. I still find it so crazy the things you and your body go through while being pregnant. It was quite sudden when I had my encounter with it. I remember laying down in bed watching tv and all of a sudden I had a shooting pain go down my pelvic. Not the most comfortable feeling and it happened about three times. I have yet to get them again and shortly after I purchased a yoga ball since I read that it will help with both round ligament pain and lightning crotch. Whenever I'm having some pain or feeling tight I will sit on my yoga ball and do stretches and it helped a ton.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nOne common pregnancy symptom I heard of is getting headaches/migraines. I suffer from occasional headaches that can last anywhere from 2-3 days and they're terrible. I can't imagine anything worst. However, since getting pregnant I hadn't experienced any headaches until the second trimester. They're still not any fun and feel exactly like I remember them. You are allowed to take Tylenol for headaches but being pregnant I want to try and avoid all medications as much as I possibly can. Sometimes when my headaches are so unbearable I have no choice and have to pop a Tylenol every few hours so I can function. I've learned a few natural remedies to ease the pain and most of the time it really helps a ton. This is something I'm having to just take one day at a time.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThere's probably no surprise here but I'm still getting up every single night to go pee. Yay. I get up at least 3-4 times at night to pee and no matter what I do, from drinking less water before bedtime or even try cutting all liquids by seven pm, I still have to get up at night and pee. I've been told this only gets worse in the third trimester.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI've noticed that baby girl is the most active in the mornings and night time. I usually wake up when Rudy is heading to work and as I'm trying to go back to sleep I will start to feel her kicking away and squirming around. At night time as soon as I turn to my side to sleep I'll feel her hitting or kicking the side I'm laying on and sometimes it'll continue going on until I doze off. Every time I try to feel her she stops moving.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI had my anatomy scan at \u003ci\u003etwenty-one\u003c/i\u003e weeks. This was the ultrasound I had most anticipated. I loved seeing my baby girl on the big screen, gosh she had grown so much since I last saw her at seventeen weeks. Again, she was being stubborn and the technician had some difficulties getting certain necessary photos, but all in all, she managed to get what she needed. Everything looked great and the tech said she had no concerns from everything she saw in the ultrasound. She also told me that baby girl was measuring right on point and was weighing at \u003ci\u003e15oz\u003c/i\u003e! I can't!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAt exactly \u003ci\u003etwenty-one\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;weeks and a day, Rudy finally felt the baby kick! It was such a special moment for him to have finally felt her kick, I got super emotional. I still hadn't felt her kick from outside my belly but I was so happy he was finally able to fell her for himself since I do feel her from the inside so much.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI finally felt the baby kick from outside of the belly at \u003ci\u003etwenty-one\u003c/i\u003e weeks and five days! It felt so cool I couldn't believe it. It was so random too I just had my hand over my belly and she kicked me. I can't wait for more frequent movements and to feel her become stronger as she grows. Being able to feel her more often definitely gives me way more peace of mind knowing she's ok in there.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI can't remember exactly when this started but I saw the baby move from outside of my belly. This was one of the moments I have been most looking forward to. It was a small hit but so amazing nonetheless. Rudy and I keep saying how we can't wait until we're able to see her twisting and turning around. She is getting so much more active every single day and she moves around so much now.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThis makes me one proud mama and flat out shows that this is my baby girl. I have been playing a lot of music for her to listen to. I started off playing a lot of Disney lullaby songs and then randomly I began playing Lana Del Rey for her. Every time I play Lana for her she starts kicking and dancing away. This blows my mind and I wasn't sure if it was a coincidence but let me tell you it's not haha. She will be sleeping in my belly without any movements while we're in the car and then out of nowhere she will start moving, kicking, turning, kicking and it goes on for a while. Then I realize she had woken up because Lana was on haha. It's so cute! Playing some of her music is the best way for me to get her to move so people can see her kicks or for people to feel her.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAs the belly grows back pain comes along with it. I never had back pains until maybe around \u003ci\u003etwenty-three\u003c/i\u003e weeks. Back pain isn't something that has been bothering me too often, but it's something that comes and goes. I get it more when I'm on my feet for too long or when I'm overdoing it on the cleaning/chores. I'm realizing more and more that I have to take it easy and take frequent breaks. Rudy and I also felt that our mattress was probably not giving my body the support it needed so we invest in a new mattress. We have been obsessed with it and I feel like I'm getting better sleep and I wake up way less sore and achy.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI get asked a lot what are my cravings and in all honesty, I don't think I have many if any. I had moments where I was really loving specific things such as cold fresh fruits and bagels but nothing excessive. At \u003ci\u003etwenty-four\u003c/i\u003e weeks I started craving iced chocolate milk and not just any chocolate milk, chocolate milk from Starbucks with extra ice and every so often I add a shot of espresso. If you haven't tried this I highly suggest you do so because it is delicious. This is one thing I can now say I've been craving and daily too.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAt\u003ci\u003e twenty-six\u003c/i\u003e weeks Rudy and I, well mostly Rudy, set up the crib and started on some nursery preparation. So far we have the crib up with the mattress, still covered in its plastic though. With the help of my dad, because he's such a perfectionist when it comes down to these things, the bookshelves were hung along with the cutest rattan wall hanger and two shelves. I enjoy sitting back and stare at this side of the room imagining what it will all look like once it's completed. It makes me so excited. I'm aiming to have everything done once October rolls around, which is so soon! I want to have everything ready just in case the baby decides to come a bit early. I have been recording every step of the decorating process and I'm so excited to share a mini room tour once it's all completed.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI had my one-hour glucose test at\u003ci\u003e twenty-seven \u003c/i\u003eweeks. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and the drink wasn't bad compared to what people made it out to be. Unfortunately, I failed the test by two freaking points and will now have to retake it in the three-hour test. I'm not looking forward to this but all in all, I hope I pass this time around.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qFVeWOVowSw/Xzf3G8f92JI/AAAAAAAAJ94/K73XYUrM1YUp-aRRu9qpCH2V6UcxwgdoACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/ACS_0970.JPG\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1067\" data-original-width\u003d\"1600\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qFVeWOVowSw/Xzf3G8f92JI/AAAAAAAAJ94/K73XYUrM1YUp-aRRu9qpCH2V6UcxwgdoACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/ACS_0970.JPG\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\nHere I am freshly into the third trimester, still, in shock, that time only continues to race by.
