How Far Along? 35
Weeks
Total Weight Gain:
23 pounds (I was 133 last time I stepped on a scale)
Symptoms: Hip
pain and heartburn! My hips and SI have been so sore this pregnancy. It’s the
worst at night. The only thing that helps is having Nick massage Traumeel cream
into my hips and SI. I’ve also had pretty frequent heartburn. My DGL usually
helps but sometimes I still have to drink baking soda to get it calmed down. My
midwives also told me to eat a spoonful or two of chia seeds and follow it with
a glass of water. I’m actually really impressed at how well this works too!
Movement? Cruz is
getting a little cramped in my belly so his movement is really showing from the
outside. It’s crazy how strong he is! He gets the hiccups everyday and you can
sometimes see it from the outside!
Sleep? I can only
sleep for about 1 ½ -2 hours before I need to go to the bathroom, top that with
hip pain and it’s not a great combo for sleep. Luckily I’ve only had one night
on insomnia this week though!
Exercise? We have
been deep cleaning and de-cluttering our house so I’m counting that as my
exercise.
Food Cravings: No
real cravings this week.
Food Aversions:
No aversions either.
Happy or Moody? I
would say that I’ve been mostly happy but I’ve had some emotional moments too.
It’s hard to not be short sometimes when I’m not sleeping well.
Miss Anything?
Sushi! We went to Syringa with some friends this week and I really wanted a
Syringa roll!
Best Moment This
Week: One night this week when I came back to bed from going to the
bathroom I looked at Cash sleeping so peacefully in the bed with us and it
almost brought me to tears. Cash looks so precious when he’s sleeping. I’m
really trying to soak up all the special little moments while we are still a
family of three.
Looking Forward to:
My baby shower next Saturday!
