Ok, the hubby is gone, but I had to post a picture...So I had to do the self picture in the mirror. And it is blurry and bad quality... but you have to check out my new pants! The navy blue fabric covering my tummy is attached to the jean and there are no buttons or zippers! haha...but really... this is why maternity pants are so amazing! I recommend every woman have a pair- preggo or not....
Exercising? Did
my yoga workshop on Saturday morning and ABSOLUTLY loved it! I feel so much more confident walking into any
yoga studio and knowing the FUNDAMENTALS of a good yoga workout! Now, I have a full week free at this studio
and I am looking forward to stopping in every night I am free to practice. I am also looking forward to finding a studio
that might not be as expensive in the long run. Walking will be a must this
week as well, considering the swimsuit weather in the middle of March!
Maternity clothes? I
caved in already… took a trip to Destination Maternity in Brookfield. (Which my
cousin told me offers prenatal yoga- yay!) But I also got to try on some
maternity pants. I know the whole “bump”
thing is suppose to be “cute and fun”, but I have felt nothing but FRUMPY the
last several weeks. Once I put on a pair
of these maternity pants I was instantly “excited” to dress my new progressing
figure. I am telling you… I do not want
to go back to regular jeans/work pants! Haha. Also, some of the dresses that were there I would want to wear even if I wasn’t
pregnant! So looking forward to getting attire
for our MANY wedding this summer!
Sleeping? You know… I think my
energy is coming back in the last two days or so, I really do, but I had a
nasty cold this past week that kicked my butt.
I slept all day Thursday and Friday!
Missing Anything? Nothing is tugging at me or making this pregnancy unbearable. I did
think about sushi in the last week (yummy)… but other than that I just go
through little phases where I am like- oh I don’t
miss being drunk and hungover at all,
and then… I go the exact opposite way and wonder when is the first event after September 16th going to happen so I can enjoy a martini!!
Food cravings? No
cravings yet… but I have an appetite, finally! I have been eating every couple hours so I keep
granola bars and fruit nearby at all times!
I cannot get enough fresh fruit.
Acid Reflux? Nothing a couple tums cannot take care of right now…
Even enjoying some decaf coffee a little more often, too!
Anything making you queasy or sick? I
think for the most part, my tummy has been feeling better. It feels the worst
if I don’t eat every couple hours. I
still feel like some scents are too strong, but maybe I can control it a little
more now and it doesn’t worry me that I will be sick.
This Weeks Symptoms? Well, I think I can feel dull pressures in my tummy
area… I feel like things are growing at
crazy speeds in there and my tummy is getting use to sharing the space with the
little one.
Gender?
We have had a few people say “oh, it is going to be
a girl”… but no one has made the prediction of a boy… is this a sign? Hehe… Still like 7 weeks to go on this
question… any predictions?
Any Movement? Nope.
Labor Signs? Nope.
Belly Button: in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Overall Mood this week? Frustrated. Being someone who never gets sick, dealing
with a cold this past week was quite miserable. On top
of it, I learned that medications a pregnant woman can take are basically
slim to none. So advice from my doctor: “Ride
it out… sleep and water.” I also think I
was a little bit of a baby because I forgot how much being sick SUCKS! But let me tell you… sleep and water are
truly the best medicines. I thought I was
going to die on Wednesday, I slept all day Thursday and all day Friday, and by Saturday
morning I was starting to feel victory!
Today, I know I sound like I have a cold, but I feel great!
Looking forward to? This
70 degree weather that is on the way in the middle of March!!
Whoo whoo!
Pit of the week? The sickness and the husband being gone Thursday through Monday for work (especially
both of them happening at the same time!!)
Make it a great week and enjoy the SUNSHINE!
Much Love,
Jax
Peak of the week? My yoga workshop was an absolute joy. I feel completely sucked in and eager to
continue this new love.
Make it a great week and enjoy the SUNSHINE!
Much Love,
Jax
There is no baby bump visible. Jackie you look fantastic!!! I hope you are starting to feel better and getting more energy. I have no comparison but I can imagine that it is no fun being tired all the time. Looking forward to reading more updates and seeing more pictures! I hope we can get together some time soon...otherwise looking forward to seeing you at Morzy's wedding!
ReplyDeleteSay hi to Tyler for me.
Thanks Megan! Ya, when pregnant women talk about it, I never understood it...I thought, no way- I am a go-go-go person and I do not get tired. haha.... but I know when a little Bly is on the way, you will know EXACTLY what I am saying when you just feel absolutely wiped out. But it is passing now, so that is great. Take care with Ryan being away this month, and I look forward to seeing you both soon! xo
DeleteI told you, you would LOVE the maternity pants. I still have a pair of gouchos that I still wear!! I am glad that you are feeling a bit better. I felt so guilty telling you how awesome being prego is and you have been feeling nothing but sick and tired! Can't wait for the weather to get nice and we can walk!! PS LOVE LOVE the nursery ideas. Perfect and totally you.
