Feeling very pregnant lately (almost 35 weeks to b Feeling very pregnant lately (almost 35 weeks to be exact). Despite this being my third baby, I’m always in awe of what our bodies can do as women. Even more so, what we can do after the baby gets here. Existing on minimal sleep, crazy hormone shifts and the ability to feed our babies through breastfeeding.

It’s the last day of World  Breastfeeding week and I couldn’t let this day go by without sharing the joys and struggles that I went through breastfeeding my own children. It was by far one of the hardest things I had to do as a mom and there were many days of tears and wondering if I was going to continue. Being a mother is hard, whether your nursing or not and @thirdlove is here to support you and your boobs through it all because most bras suck and they designed a better one. 
If you are a nursing mama, they have the right support for you with their 24/7 Classic Nursing Bra or the Form Seamless Nursing Bra. Check out @thirdlove to find the perfect fit for you to help you feel confident and comfortable. Use the code TLMOM20 to get 20% off your first ThirdLove purchase, offer expires 8/31 and is valid only for new customers.

It’s hard to believe that we are a little over a It’s hard to believe that we are a little over a month away from meeting this new little one. 
Even though we are so close to the end, there’s still an incredible fear that I have. Fear of loss, fear of struggling with postpartum anxiety/depression afterwards and the fear of me being too caught up in the new baby to focus on my other children who are going through their own milestones as well. 
As much as I want these last few weeks to fly by I’m still cherishing them with my last baby still inside. 
Anyone else feeling this way? Let’s chat in the comments.
