Navigating the Second Trimester: Braxton Hicks, Baby Showers, and Beyond!

Hey there, my dear friends!

I'm back with another update on my pregnancy journey, and let me tell you, the second trimester has been quite the rollercoaster ride! About two weeks ago, I found myself rushing to the ER with what turned out to be Braxton Hicks contractions. Yep, those sneaky little practice contractions had me feeling like I was on the brink of labor, but thankfully, everything turned out to be just fine. Phew!

One thing that really helped me through those unexpected contractions was something I never would've thought of—chiropractic sessions and acupuncture. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but let me tell you, the relief they provided was nothing short of miraculous. Not only did they help ease the discomfort of those pesky contractions, but they also left me feeling more relaxed and centered than I had in weeks. Who knew that a little adjustment here and a few strategically placed needles there could work wonders for a mama-to-be?

Now, onto more exciting news—planning the baby shower! While I'll save the juicy details for a future post (trust me, you won't want to miss it!), I couldn't help but start brainstorming ideas and getting everything organized. From picking out the perfect theme to compiling the guest list, there's so much to think about when it comes to celebrating the impending arrival of our little bundle of joy.

But amidst all the baby shower planning and excitement, there's also the matter of prepping for the big day—the hospital bag, the nursery setup, you name it. It's amazing how quickly time flies, and before we know it, we'll be welcoming our little one into the world. So stay tuned for future posts where I'll be sharing my tips and tricks for getting everything ready for D-day (delivery day, that is!) and creating the perfect sanctuary for our sweet baby to come home to.

Well, that's all for now, folks! Thanks for joining me on this wild ride, and I can't wait to catch up with you all again soon. Until next time!

Warmest hugs, Lily
