Baby is the size of a: Pineapple. I’m drinking a tropical(ish) smoothie for breakfast, so I’m tying it all in.
Due date: Sept 3rd, 2016
Total weight gain: I am not really super duper into being a crazy person about my weight right now. I am just over 25 lbs, last doctor’s visit.
Sleep: Sleeping a bit less because I’m getting up more like two times a night to go to the bathroom. I try and make sure that I go the second before I fall asleep, but my bladder really can’t handle more than what seems like a teaspoon of of anything in it.
Best moment this week: We went on our hospital tour the other day, and it looked good. It was nice, on the tour I found out they have bathtubs to labor in, birthing balls, and squatting bars. It was nice, it seems like I’m going to be able to labor however feels best instead of being strapped down to the bed.
Food cravings: More of the same, not anything crazy. And not a lot of everything. Last night, I really wanted some ice cream cake, so me and Austin went and got one (speaking all in British accents). I ate a slice, and I’m taking the rest to work so I don’t eat it all.
Food aversions: Too much of anything. I’ve said this about a million times before, but I cannot overeat. The second I even think about it, I feel horrible and it feels like food gets stuck like at the top of my stomach/bottom of my throat.
Symptoms: The pelvic pain is like omg. I was able to get in the pool and that helps tremendously, as well as laying down with a yoga block under the small of my back, and continuing to avoid split-leg exercises. That means a lot of faking while demonstrating lunges, and a yoga block for pigeon pose.
Looking forward to: My baby shower is this weekend! And Harry Potter and the Cursed child is out this weekend. AND DCAC is the following weekend. A lot in the next few weeks. And a baby at the end of it all!
