Hi! I am going to try and document my pregnancy now that I am in my third trimester. Ha. We will see how I do. I just took a few questions from someones blog and filled them in and added some of my own. I also dumped a few pictures to show my life this week. Enjoy!
How far along?
32 weeks
Feeling: I am feeling heavier and bigger tummy wise, maybe
because he is having a growth spurt and I have eaten a lot this week. It has
been a little uncomfortable at night, but I am still getting enough sleep. It
has been harder to get up and get ready, so I haven't been showering some
mornings and just pulling my hair back so I can get an extra 30 min of
sleep.
I am noticing: that when I am talking to a large group of
people or on the phone for a while, I get hot flashes and just start sweating.
So I put a fan at my desk and keep it on all day. So weird. Blame it on my
hormones.
Stretch marks? Yes, some tiny ones on my hips, near others I
got in middle school. Nothing new, I have known my body is prone. I still will
wear a swimsuit and not worry!
Best moment this week: Meeting up with other Filipinos and having so much Filipino food to eat
for our 4th of July Filipino Feast.
Miss Anything? Wearing some of my cute summer dresses. They
just fit awkwardly right now. And maybe a cold margarita.
Movement: Oh so much movement, especially on my right side…
where my stretch marks are.. any parallels?
Food cravings: Not craving, but I am enjoying so much
watermelon right now. The perfect bites are those that have been sitting in the
refrigerator for a few hours!
Looking forward to: My gym membership at UNT at the Rec. Center. I got the membership to
swim laps and walk the indoor track since it is too hot to do this outside.
Firsts: Washed a load of baby clothes with my clothes to get
some laundry done. I was telling
Jonathan it is so weird to have little clothes in there with ours. Also, we
only do laundry once every 2 weeks now and I think that is going to change after
the baby comes.
Other: I bought a medicine ball to sit on because it helps the baby “stay down” and gives my butt/tailbone a rest. I am tempted to
bring it to work.
Birthing class: This was our 3rd week and it was great. I am already getting sad we only have 3 more weeks left. I love getting to know people in there, hearing their questions and asking lots of questions that I come up with during the week. We worked on more pain coping techniques with music. I am getting my play list together this week and looking forward to having good music playing during labor.
Baby room: I have finally cleaned it out (almost) and taped the room up for painting. No paint color chosen yet. Jonathan will be taking care of that once he takes his test on July 21. So we should have colors picked out them. I am letting him take the lead on this.
Baby name: Nada. We did have a 2 hour discussion on it, but nothing new yet.
Our other child- Kona Baby: For the 4th of July, me and some friends took our dogs to the lake and swam with them. The water felt great and the dogs got some good exercise. She was sleeping on the way home. We tried out a new dog park on Thursday in Lewisville and met up with my friend Courtney to meet her new dog. Lately, she has become bored at home since the she can't be out in the heat to much. We try to get a walk in the evenings, but only after 9pm.
I
don’t know if I will keep this format, I am just tying it out. It does help me
answer questions so I don’t just ramble everything on my mind. Here are some pictures
from my iphone that I took to document this week.
