While reflecting on her pregnancy journey earlier this month, the CrossFit athlete and former NASCAR pit-crew member — who placed third in Big Brother‘s 19th season — opened up about how rewarding the experience has been for her.
“It’s really something else to watch my body change SO MUCH in such a short time,” she wrote, adding, “I really wanted to train more frequently but I am happy with what I have been able to do.”
While the reality star went on to share that she can’t wait for her son to arrive, she can’t believe her pregnancy is almost over.
“I’ve absolutely loved being pregnant and am trying to hold on to these last couple of weeks or maybe days as much as possible. I’m beyond excited to meet my son soon but I also recognize that this experience of pregnancy is almost over. Even with the insanely LONG list of aches, pains, challenges, frustrations, and hormonal chaos, I took this journey as what it is, a once in a lifetime experience,” she remarked. “I don’t know if I will have more children but even if I do it will be different than it is for me now.
Continuing, she wrote, “I know when my lil man arrives my whole world will be changed forever and I am looking forward to it. Oct 6th is right around the corner but actually he can come any day! Im as ready as I can be!!!!
Abbott first announced that she was expecting her first child with partner Benjamin Bunn in March, sharing a series of photos of the couple and one of their baby’s sonograms.
“Well, I’ve always expected the unexpected in my life and this year is no different! In January I discovered I am actually EXPECTING and a whole new life would be laid out before me,” wrote Abbott. “After a challenging 2017 year it is turning out that 2018 is the best year of my life to date.”
“I have my health, family, friends, passion, and a new addition to my tribe,” she continued. “Ben and I couldn’t be happier with this news and are over the moon excited about this wild, new journey.”
