HOW FAR ALONG? 28 and a half weeks!
SYMPTOMS: Sore ribs (on left side), leg cramps, runny nose, increased fatigue, and a lot of cracking joints!
TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS: I am now at 123 lbs!
SLEEP: Improved! I am getting used to waking up in the middle of the night with sore ribs and the need to pee - and am able to fall back asleep easier and faster!
FOOD CRAVINGS: Pineapple, Bananas, Broccoli, and ORANGE JUICE!
BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK: Visiting my best friend Jessica (saveyourforktherespie) in Alberta and spending time with her adorable daughter Abigail!
MOVEMENT: An abundance of stronger kicks and rolls!
GENDER: Girl
BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT? An innie that's a soon to be outtie! I can officially pop it in and out :)
WHAT I MISS: HOT baths, Riding my bike, Walking to work (it's too far now)
WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO: An 'empowered birth' class with Pete, getting the babies room ready, and wearing my summer maternity clothes!
MELTDOWNS: Just mini tantrums over my ribs hurting and not being able to find ANY comfortable position!
MILESTONES: The baby responding to me with lots of kicks when I eat sweet or spicy foods!
WEEKLY WISDOM: Take time to connect with your baby, and enjoy every second of them being inside you. They won't be cuddled up in your belly forever!
In my humble opinion - take a hot bath! Bath water cools down much faster than a hot tub that's regulated - I did with both my boys and they didn't come out any worse for wear ;) Nice to see you at Abby's party - you look great!
ReplyDeleteThat's true about bath water, that makes me feel better thinking about it that way! Thanks for the advice! I think I'm gonna go for a nice hot bath now!! :)
DeleteAnd thank you! It was nice to see you as well, and your little ones!! Ethan was his adorable self and Braden was such a sweetheart, and so full of energy! You have a beautiful family!
