How far along? 28 Weeks
Total weight gain: 19 pounds
Maternity clothes? Sometimes, definitely the maternity tights. I found some super cute workout tops at Dick’s made by Reebok, as long as I buy a size up they fit just fine and make my bump look super cute. The bright colors are awesome too!
Stretch marks? Nope, I thought I saw one on my right side the other day, but thank goodness- it was just a scratch from playing with Chelsea
Sleep: Weird dreams are back and I keep waking up on my back, which now that he and my uterus and gigantic feels pretty crappy on my lower back. I think the insomnia might be kickin’ in too, so hopefully my workouts will keep helping me out with getting to sleep.
Best moment this week: Feeling the crazy alien like movement that is so much more obvious the bigger he gets. Getting an email from an old friend from college that has seen my pictures on Instagram, we lost touch a while ago but it was so exciting to hear from her! Lauren if you’re reading this, I swear to email you back ASAP!
Miss Anything? Beer. And wine. And being able to get up from any position easily. Not understanding the true meaning of heartburn.
Movement: He’s very wiggly around lunchtime and in the morning when I get in the shower, the water beating on my belly is probably pretty loud. It’d be nice if he kept my wake up schedule when he’s on the outside too!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular, still loving ice cream.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not particularly. The guy next to me was shining his boots at work today and I thought I was going to have to throw his shoe polish across the room, watching/smelling the lady in the admin office eat Krab Salad kinda freaked me out.
Gender: Boy!
Labor Signs: Negative!
Symptoms: All the fun ones, heartburn, sciatica pain, huffing and puffing all day. It’s really not so bad though, I swear my workouts are getting stronger and I really do feel pretty great, the little symptoms just get a tad annoying sometimes.
Belly Button in or out? In, but just barely.
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or Moody most of the time: This week, pretty happy all the time! Vic and I are staying home for dinners more, school is almost done and work has been eh.
Looking forward to: Nothing in particular besides him getting here! 28 weeks got me thinking about the fact that it could be anywhere from 2 to 3 months and we’ll be parents. Hold the phone, that’s a little awesome/terrifying.
Annnnd: I wanted to post a little bit of information for people out there that might think I'm a little crazy for my workouts. I've been pretty amazed by how people get so worked up. This week a girlfriend at work, who is also pregnant, got shamed in the hallway for bending down to sweep some dust into a dustpan. If a prego lady is staying active or cleaning or just being an all around lady-boss, chances are she knows what she's doing. There are plenty of times that I have to take a second to rest, sit down, catch my breath and so on. But more often than not I feel just as great as anyone else does and my goals for my health and the baby's health are extremely important to me. Also, my doctor is fully aware of my workouts and I make sure to research the movements I do and those I should not do. I appreciate the people who say something nicely and out of concern, but to the one's who are all judge-wudgy was a bear, shove it. Here's some info I found to be interesting...
Gotta love this website, CrossFitMom.com. Also, if you search for a crossfit journal article about crossfitting while pregnant, it is super interesting. I'd post it here but I don't want to get in trouble!
If anyone is interested in more I can send a little your way! Happy Wednesday everyone, it's almost the end of the week!!!
