Baby is the size of a: Head of lettuce.
Due date: Sept 3rd, 2016
Total weight gain: I have not gotten on the scale since the doc. I believe I was right about 25 lbs.
Sleep: Still sleeping, but getting up to go to the ladies room frequently. TMI, but my uterus gets really really unhappy if I don’t empty my bladder often, and I’ll get some tightness. Not quite full on contractions, but you know what I mean?
Best moment this week: The girls from one of the studios I teach at threw me and another expectant mama a shower at the studio. I was feeling a little like “omg no one is going to show and this is going to be so embarrassing,” and of course, it wasn’t like that at all.
Food cravings: I have really been watching my sugar. Even before getting pregnant, I think I developed a pretty wicked sweet tooth after consuming a LOT of artificial sweetener, especially when I was at fat camp. (Seriously, if you’re new here, I’ll tell you about it one day). I think I could do a lot more sugar if I just kind of let it go, but I don’t want to put myself in danger of developing GD, especially after I passed my test and everything. It’s so not worth it.
Food aversions: Most anything else.
Symptoms: After repeated visits to the chiro, I’m actually feeling really good in my lower back, but I’m not feeling particularly great in my pelvis. It’s a little hard to explain, but some major vagina bone (technical term) has kept me from doing long distances, and has definitely made me change some of the exercises that I AM still doing.
Looking forward to: You know, I didn’t make it to the pool this week. I am really going to try and make the pool this week, like I was talking about last week.
