This past week has definitely been the week where I have felt the biggest change in my size...I just feel like whoa I'm prego! It's harder to move around and I feel like my stomach just got bigger (this may just be a feeling because as I compare photos I don't notice a huge difference) but needless to say I am definitely 36 weeks pregnant and feeling so excited for Crawford's arrival... A great memory of pregnancy tonight as I ask Brad if we can go to Wild Wings because I want to be healthy and get a grilled chicken salad...well dinner turns into buff chips, then a salad...THEN "the chocolate thing" ...let's just say 2 huge brownies, ice cream, chocolate syrup you name it and guess what? we ate it all! ..the ultimate prego move...I mean who orders dessert at wild wings?!
Had a good doctor visit today...strep B test was negative so no antibiotics...had to pay my 20% copay for delivery of the baby so that made it feel real, saw a new doctor and she said I am having reflux and wrote me Zantac Rx (I think it's funny that I didn't even tell her my symptoms but the technician who weighs me and she walks in with a Rx ...doctors these days will just prescribe meds at the drop of a hat...so I may try some OTC and see if that is what is really causing my nausea but I was just thinking it was a case of the first trimester symptoms returning..who knew it could be reflux?! Next week they have ordered a positioning ultrasound to make sure Crawford is in the right place and that makes me soo happy because I just can't wait to see how big he has gotten since the last time I saw him at 20 WEEKS! (Of course I have a bit of anxiety because I am always anxious to see and hear that he is perfectly healthy ..cross your fingers!) Next week also begins the first week of a check-up where they try to tell you if you are effaced and/or dilated so it will all be exciting!...
I am soo excited to see all of our friends and family tomorrow night I can't even wait!!!
Well Brad decided not to stop and let me take a picture with a watermelon (which I am not even sure I will be able to find at this time of year but the fruit photo will follow tomorrow!)
*How far along? 36 weeks
*Total weight gain? we are eliminating this category let's say I didn't gain any from last week and I hope that I am done gaining the lb's...highly unlikely but I will get sad even thinking about the work I am going to have to do to lose this baby weight!
*How big is the baby? he coule weight 6.5 pounds (crazy!), he could be 19-22 inches long, and a whopping WATERMELON (although I think it's funny how we went from a canteloupe to watermelon!)
*Maternity clothes? I haven't bought any new clothes in a good couple of weeks...stocked up on some sweaters and long sleeved shirts and hope I can make it the rest of the way with what I have.
*Sleep? Thanks to good ole tempur pedic sleep has been great..just nauseated before bed for the past week but nothing a little phenergan hasn't corrected.
*Best moment this week? hearing that I get one more ultrasound next week and every day feeling him move or hiccup ...it just NEVER gets old!
*Movement? He is a mover...it's so funny because for so long I have really just felt all of the movement on my left side...but not I am feeling him in the center and to the right so I am just curious how that happened...he is still head down and luckily not causing too much discomfort down there yet!
*Food cravings? well this week thank you ghiradelli brownies for making me feel complete! I have been craving a wrap from applebees or wild wings...then I go to wild wings and order a salad...only in pregnancy! I still love some granny smith apples and all sorts of cereals...seems like I want a new one every day so Brad has been buying me the single serving cereals just to allow me to indulge in these minute cravings!
*What I miss? Wow how can I miss anything when all I can look forward to is meeting little Crawford...I couldn't be any happier right now!
*What I am looking forward to? Seeing Crawford in my tummy next Wednesday!
*Milestone? I still haven't missed a day of work from being pregnant and I am proud of the fact that 10-12 hour days at walmart haven't killed me both physically and emotionally haha!
*Is working out harder? I am definitely slowing down a bit...spin class was ridic hard on Monday...elliptical made me nauseous on Tuesday (I stopped 5 min. early), decided to take Wednesday off since I worked 9-9, then had a great day of elliptical training and lunges, squats, shoulder presses, and tricepts today...tomorrow I will tackle body combat and see how the intense cardio is going...doctor reassured me today that I am perfectly fine to continue all classes and that if my body is ever telling me to stay home and lay on the couch -I should opt for the couch...but this never happens in my mind...if I think couch ...I think 3 mile walk...but I think it's whatever makes you feel good...and working out makes me feel great!
*Nursery? His picture frames are hung, the ottoman arrived and hopefully with the girl's help tomorrow we will put some finishing touches to the nursery and maybe do a little shopping...although someone needs to keep me off of etsy as the other night I went on to buy a gown and left with a monogrammed pillow for his glider, a monogrammed towel, monogrammed shoes, the bear hat for his photos...paypal really likes me right now!
Well can't wait to report back after the amazing weekend we are about to have!
