Maternity Clothes:
Same as before…all pants maternity, trying to see what dresses still fit…they are getting shorter and shorter it seems. And my darling Chim went out and bought me some new undergarments yesterday as the ones I had were digging into my chest and making it not comfortable at all. My favorite moment of the day was coming home and taking my bra off because of how uncomfortable I was feeling!!

Movement:
She is moving around like crazy! The last few days, the movements have become less of a swift kick or punch but I will be laying down and I can actually feel her squirming around. It is the weirdest thing. To all of you ladies that have not felt this…the best way I can describe it is like a worm or something wiggling under a sheet. WEIRD.

Sleep:
Pretty good actually, I know that I am reaching the final stretch where that sleep is going to become non existent…BOO…but I am getting more and more excited to have our baby showers and meet this little one.

What I miss:
Laying on my stomach..and not having to pee every 5 minutes. I literally will go into the bathroom to brush my teeth, use the restroom before said brushing of the teeth, and then afterwards….not fun. I also can’t wait to have my body back and just be able to feel like I can do something about this ever growing belly and weight.
Cravings:
Same as before, I am LOVING orange juice, and I had a few cravings the other day for sprinkle donuts. So do you think I indulged? Well…when in Rome.. Err.. I mean Corvallis. You betcha.

Symptoms:
Just the kicking of this little one..and the squirms, and having to go pee every 30 seconds.

Favorite Moment This Week:
IT SNOWED! And Im not even talking like a couple of inches or whichever. We got almost 2 feet of snow! ERMERGERD. The whole time I have been in Oregon and I have NEVER seen snow like this…Oregon may have redeemed herself a little bit with this. Normally, I am near tears because my dear Washington gets slammed with a good snow storm usually once a year…and the weather is usually better (read: Snow storms and thunder storms and wind) than Oregon. However, this weekend was different and Oregon actually got slammed with snow! Hooray for us! Unfortunately, since I am about 7 months pregnant, the snow activities are limited for me. Timothy would not let me go sledding, which I am sure is in my best interest, but you can’t blame a girl for wanting to! And apparently snowboarding, skiing, and the like are also out as well. I can’t wait until next year to be able to hit the slopes and go and try out my newfound “skills” HAH. Pick up right where I left off in my snowboard training in Japan. Also, we are getting more and more excited to meet this little one! We picked out the perfect rug (since we have hardwood floors in our home) and I am excited to go to our baby showers and really get her room put together!
Worst Moment This Week:
I can feel my energy starting to wane these last few days. The second trimester was great and I was able to accomplish so much! Now, we went on an outing yesterday to pick up a few things and I about had to take a nap before I was able to accomplish much else! Other than that, I have been feeling pretty great. Not excited about the 3rd trimester that seems to be rapidly approaching, but I am hoping that everything goes as smoothly as it has been. Also, I have to schedule my Gestational Diabetes test, which is really scary for me. I thought that I was just going to have to go in for 1 blood draw, and they check my levels and make sure everything is kosher, if not, THEN they go in for more blood draws. I had no idea that I was going to go in for a 4 hour test. I am scared…and I have yet to schedule it because of said fear. I know that I must, and I will probably call tomorrow, but even thinking about this test has my stomach turning. Y’all know how I did with one blood draw at the beginning of this whole deal? Shakes, Tears? The works…you name it…I had it. So now I have to do it all again…but this time….times like 4.
It's so weird to hear you talk about being pregnant, let alone actually BE pregnant. I'm sad that I haven't been able to be physically with you every damn day.
ReplyDeleteI know...I wish that it was like old times and we were working together and coloring all damn day. And being lied to that Entenmanns donuts did not have any calories...Those were the days! I miss seeing you every day....
