This is the only photo I have from this week. Offi This is the only photo I have from this week. Officially in the third trimester 🎉 and extremely tired of negotiating & dealing with insurance and benefits to get what I think is justice for my family and my pregnancy. Had to do all this last time & doing it again… 💪 🤰#thirdtrimester #jisforjourney
For every low this week, there was a high. Real li For every low this week, there was a high. Real life in balance. Gestational diabetes was a real low but @acalvo_94 spending the weekend with us & taking William to Disney was a high. 🩸🏰 ••• Reminding myself that allllll my medications & interventions & diagnoses are the only reason I can even carry a baby to term. As upsetting & exhausting as it all is, the fact that I get to hug & kiss my baby tonight, when I loss 3 before him, makes it all worth it. 🌈 👶 ••• #highriskpregnancy #unfilteredmotherhood #jisforjourney #magickingdom #cfscoffee #gestationaldiabetes #walk #itsokdad

I realize this has essentially become all toddler I realize this has essentially become all toddler & pregnancy updates #sorry that’s just been the bulk of where my brain & body have been lately.🤰Honestly, work is going really smoothly this year, so not much to update there but I’ll try to add more of that next week. 1. Monday yoga (that is the # 1 thing I did last time to prep for an unmedicated birth & hoping for the same this time.) 🧘‍♀️ 2. Soooo I ended up in the ER (again). My stupid heart (again). I’m ok, baby is ok! ❤️‍🩹 3. I rested the ER visit day (my amazing intern took over my classes). 👨‍🏫 4-6. A suspiciously smooth Saturday with a rambunctious toddler. 📸 Not pictured: the park birthday party we went to. 7 & 8. Sunday afternoon walk with momma. 🚶🚶 📸 Not pictured: birthday brunch date with @thefuriosity ••• #jisforjourney #2yearsold #svt #yoga #25weekspregnant #ervisit

Hello! My name is Jessica & I am the content creator of J is for Journey; I started this blog way back in the fall of 2013 when I left to teach English Italy. And here I am, many years later, still blogging about travel, art history and religion – my three great passions in life. Now, with the birth of our son, I have added a fourth passion: motherhood. I hope you enjoy the journey!
