Ok, so I have been insanely busy lately and this blog has sadly fallen to the bottom of my to do list. Mainly because not a whole lot has been changing- aside from me being HUGE and unable to get comfortable. I have been going to the doctor every other week now for some time and next week will be my first weekly appointment. So, you know what that means?!?Baby girl is getting closer and closer to her debut. I just need her to wait 4 more weeks and then she can do what she likes. Even though I feel like 4 more weeks is just not enough time to get everything done. I have been working on getting her room together- which is coming along nicely and of course there is the 1 million and 1 things around the house that never bothered me before but all of a sudden I feel like I need it all done before she gets her. And that my friends is nesting...it is real and it is causing me such anxiety! Everything in my life has been put on a to do list and I am having such joy checking them off.
I have been filming all of the nursery DIY projects and plan on putting them up over the next several weeks. I am also going to film a few more pregnancy related video- pregnancy tips & tricks, what's in my hospital bag?, and a nursery tour. I think that's all I am going to have time for folks. I probably will only be filming a couple of more beauty videos because I think I am getting to a point where I have GOT to slow down. Working full-time, blogging, taking care of my house, prepping for baby, and growing a human are really starting to wear me down. SO, I am trying to slow it down over the next couple of weeks so that I can enjoy the calm before the storm.
Next weekend is my baby shower and I am really excited about it, except that I can't find a dress! All I want is a cute dress that doesn't make me look like a whale-ephant and is a blush pink color....is that so much to ask for!?!
Symptoms
HOLY HEARTBURN! This symptom is getting worse and worse- and my bedside tums are NOT helping. I had to stop eating citrus because that was making it worse, which sucks because I love grapefruit and oranges. I also have been trying to avoid spicy food as much as I can. I never thought I would get to this point but being a prisoner of heartburn at night is just not what I need in my life- and no jalapeno can convince me otherwise!
Sleep deprivation has been a major betch lately. I probably get 2 good nights of sleep and that is because I am so exhausted I can't help but to pass out. Between heartburn and the inability get comfortable- unless I have a certain pillows that are arranged in a certain way- I have been really suffering in this department.
Shortness of breathe has gotten a lot worse- I can't breathe! It's so annoying- I also can barely get up with what feels like a brick laying on my midsection. Okay sorry to be the Debbie Downer- but hey I had a great pregnancy and now I am seeing the dark side... Everything everyone says that is horrible about the 3rd trimester is true! Just know that- and I am only expecting it to get worse.....see Debbie Downer...
Bump Watch
Ok, so the one bonus on waiting so long to write this is you can see the major bump progress. Baby girl is gains about .5 lbs. a week and I definitely can tell. I am missing week 31 ( I accidentally deleted it while getting it ready for this post and I am so mad about that) and week 32- I 've always had a challenging time remembering to take these and I totally dropped the ball on that one. BUT this is the 1st one I missed my whole pregnancy so far, so I think that's pretty good...with pregnancy brain and all...
I just got home from the gym in this pic! Don't judge me looking a hot mess lol! My stomach only looks bigger in 33 because that shirt is not fitted over it- there is like a gap and borderline belly cleavage- which I have been rocking on accident occasionally lol.
