ONE WEEK FROM FULL TERM! CRAZY!
Exercising? Walking - LOTS of walking! We had a great time in Door County enjoying the lovely scenery and great hikes. Baya was loving the different adventures from the rocks on the lake at Cave Point to the woods hike in the Peninsula State park! We wore her out big time... resulting in a VERY WELL BEHAVED puppy! IT WAS AWESOME! Tyler and I are already looking forward to next year... Planning out all the hikes and parks we want to hit up. Baya in tow and Sal tucked safe in the Bjorn! CAN'T WAIT!
Maternity clothes? Just sporting what I got... nothing new... but I was already looking at the fall/winter wardrobes that are coming out. I am already looking forward to my first little shopping trip post-Sal... and of course, after a little working out to get back into shape. Do not want to be hanging out in the dressing room all depressed!
Sleeping? Really feeling like I am not getting the sleep I need lately...I feel like I am interrupted by changing positions in bed, rib pain, Sal moving all over, and bathroom breaks.... I just do not feel refreshed when the alarm goes off! I feel like I am yawning all day at work and just dying to get home and and rest!
Missing Anything? umm... not REALLY... I would say I am not dying to to be done with this because I am just getting the hang of being pregnant and making things work for me, pretty soon I will have to jump on a whole new boat.... Ya, that NEW MOM boat, where everything is a whole new world all over again.... so right now, I am not missing much, I am going to TRY to enjoy life without baby... life without crying... life without NO sleep... life without anxiety for the little one... because SOON ENOUGH I could possibly miss having him safe, sound, and quite in my belly! Haha. But, I am ready for that martini asap.
Food cravings? Nothing this week... just kinda blah. But still eating like Miss Piggy! Even though it can't be too big of meals, I just feel like I am eating non-stop! When I eat too much I feel like you could just roll me around ... it is awful. Trying to be conscious of how much I am shoving in my mouth at one sitting because if I overeat it is like physically painful to move!
Heartburn? Still a little acid reflux.... Mostly at night when I lay down to go to bed... so trying to use some pillows to prop me up a little more. My throat is still not on fire... so nothing that is overwhelmingly annoying or painful!
Anything making you queasy or sick? no...
This Weeks Symptoms? Ummm... not much besides LOTS of movement that is sometimes kinda painful! He pushes out so hard and I want to just push him back! I feel like I am bruised from the inside in some areas on my tummy... Other than that... swelling, a little back pain, tired... Very tired... I feel like my brain is not functioning properly sometimes. I also feel like I look ridiculous when I am getting up from sitting down somewhere! The waddling and lack of being able to move like I could a couple months ago... oh man, this belly controls it all!
Any Movement? Absolutely, like I said, the little bugger must be getting strong! He will make a movement and it looks like something is trying to come out of my belly and I want to just push him right back to let him know to settle down in there! There is a area on my lower left side that literally feels bruised - some parts of my belly are tender to the touch!! It is hard to sleep on my left side right now because it hurts so much and I think I can attribute this to maybe his head (a guess made by Lindsay) poking out.... oh man... I am looking forward to him moving into a new position soon!
Labor Signs? A couple braxton hix contractions here and there . . . nothing painful...
Belly Button: in or out? What belly button?
Wedding rings on or off? Officially OFF and put away safely. This week the swelling really made a presence... Even though I could get my rings off here and there, I heard a scary story of a woman that had to get her rings cut off because they were stuck! So one night when I could NOT get them off, I just decided that the next time I COULD get them off, they were staying off... just in case. Then the next night when they were still not budging too much, I pulled them over my knuckle like a mad woman and as painful as it was I was happy to have them safe and in one piece! So, for now, just wearing a fake ring in place... you know, because pregnant ladies are easy hit on....
Overall Mood this week? Anxious! I was so ready to get outta town and chill! It was a busy week but the weekend could not come fast enough for me! I knew this would be our last little getaway before Sal, so I was ready to enjoy every second of it!
Looking forward to? This coming week I am JAM PACKED busy. I keep telling myself to get everything in before I can't do ANYTHING! I know that is crazy to say I can't do anything after the baby is born, but you know what I mean. I am getting in all my dates with my girlfriends one last time before there is a screaming baby that interrupts us, I am getting in some finishing touches on decorations for the house, and cleaning.. of course... what would nesting be like with out the urge to have everything spotless and beautiful (although my energy level does not agree with that statement)! Also, Tuesday we have a doctor apt and we get to see an ultra sound to see the positioning of Sal and to make sure all is going well! Wednesday, we are having the Schemms over for dinner, and Thursday I am meeting Mrs. Nicole Shinnick from Madison for dinner. This coming weekend, Tricia, from Madison is staying here to visit, we are meeting the Blue Marlin girlfriends for lunch on Saturday, and then my last baby shower on Sunday! BUSY LIKE WHOA! And as much as I LOVE to be a busy busy busy bee (you know this if you know me!), in all honesty, I am really looking forward to NOT MAKING ANY PLANS.... I am looking forward to having sweet Salvatore in our arms and NOT leaving the house for anything... to not have to take a shower, to not have to get ready for anything, maybe go as far as to not HAVE to get out of bed, and I am looking forward to just cuddling and bonding and having nothing but Sal to worry about. I know you moms out there are going to say this next statement is CRAZY, but it almost seems PEACEFUL to have that little baby in your arms and nothing else around you matters... life, work, hobbies, appointments.... etc....
Pit of the week? This is not a huge pit or anything... but just something I have to be really honest about. After this week, I am ready to have Sal out of my tummy! I GET THAT ALL MOMS ARE ALL EXCITED ABOUT FEELING THE BABIES MOVE AND WHAT NOT, which it was a great feeling and experience.... but I think I am at a point when I have too small of space for the little guy and he is growing by the hour... especially with the way I have been eating... so the movements are not so "fun" anymore. I love knowing that he is safe and sound in there, but I just want my space back now. Haha. I feel very tight around the tummy and back so when he is punching/kicking the same spots over and over it kinda hurts! There is very little give for him and I am sure he is quite annoyed by it as well....
Peak of the week? Door County! I LOVE door county and love the parks and walking all over the place and the little shops... I don't know a more perfect spot for a weekend get away! (unless people have suggestions!) I cannot wait to do it again.
Make it a great week everyone! Much Love, Jax
