So I have been in my third trimester for a couple of weeks now - today I am 29 weeks. Things are going well. My last dr. appt I saw the nurse practitioner because my dr was out of the office and she kept telling me how low the baby was and asked if I had to pee a lot. HAHA - yes I do and I KNOW the baby is low - I can feel all the pressure - but thanks for confirming it LOL. I am actually worried for when the baby drops - um... where is she going to go? I don't think she can get any lower!!! The good thing is - because of my incredibly short torso, I don't look like I'm carrying low, I look pretty normal - just big. People ask me when I am due and when I tell them the end of January they are usually shocked. No big deal though - that was the same reaction I got with Jax and I feel like I'm bigger with this one since it's my second haha.
I have been pretty tired - but THANK GOODNESS Jaxon is napping again so I nap too! I am up every morning by 7:30 at the latest (when Jax gets up) then I take at least an hour nap in the day (most the time longer depending on Jaxon's nap) and I am still super tired by 9 haha.
I feel hungry all the time and crave anything with sugar (very different than my pregnancy with Jaxon). It takes A LOT of self control to not go crazy -but having Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas during this time of my pregnancy is not a good thing! I am not bragging when I say this and I will tell you why in a second, but I haven't gained any weight with this pregnancy yet thank goodness. This is not bragging because I started this pregnancy MUCH heavier than a normal person should be - so I didn't need to gain any weight. I'm sure I will - I gained the most with Jax at the end so I'm sure at my doctors appointment next week I will start to see weight gain - but I don't ever weigh myself, I let the dr. do it - I eat when I'm hungry and I usually eat what I want unless it is an excessive amount of sugar and I know me and the baby DO NOT need that. So don't worry, I'm not one of those girls who obsess about my weight while I'm pregnant - I believe to eat when you are hungry and that is what I do!
Baby girl moves a lot and she ALWAYS moves when I lay down to go to sleep! I love feeling that right before I go to bed. Speaking of bed - I have had to sleep on the couch a few times because the bed is getting too uncomfortable lol, but I have been toughing it out as long as I can.
Next week I will go in for a dr appt 2 days before I am officially 30 weeks. My dr's office does an ultrasound between 30 and 32 weeks so I'm not sure if they will do one then or wait - but I hope they do - I love seeing our baby! Life is good!
Ahhh! So exciting! I am so glad you're not too far behind me. That's so awesome that you haven't gained weight. I have gained 30 lbs!!! I'm freaking out a little, but I know most of it is baby stuff. I'll probably have 10 lbs to lose, but that's manageable. I agree...eat when you're hungry. I complain about my weight because that's all my doctor talks to me about at my appointments, so I feel like a fat cow when I go in. But I still feel like I'm pretty healthy and doing what I'm suppose to. I'm so glad she's moving a lot. That makes the pregnancy seem so much better because it's like they're communicating with you and letting you know they're there. :) I can't wait to see more belly pics. AND I can't wait for January!!! She's going to be so cute!!! AHHHH! This is so fun that we're pregnant together!
ReplyDeleteI've gained about 15 pounds already, which is a little more than my doctor likes, but I keep telling her that I'm not stuffing my face all day. Lol. So that's great that you haven't put on any weight! Way to go! I've noticed that I've been eating more sweets with this girl than normal (so I guess the old wive's tale is true!) especially in the morning, all I want in Fruity Pebbles. Haha. Interesting that your little girl moves around a lot at night, maybe you'll have a night owl on your hands. Our little girl wiggles around the most in the evening time, but usually goes back to sleep byt the time I get to bed. I can't wait to see you guys again, but I know it won't be for quite a while, which is sad. But at least I have your blog posts to look forward to! Keep them coming! ;)
ReplyDeleteLisa I am getting so excited for you :) Having two is so so fun! I ate a lot of sweets with Mia too it must be a girl thing. Love ya can't wait to see Baby Girl Mini Lisa :)
