SURGERY DATE: MAY 3, 2013 - 12 weeks to go!!!
Total Weight Gain (CRINGE): 16 lbs - I've got another weigh in on Thursday - YIKES!
Exercise:
M- Group Power
T - Arrichion (Warrior)
W - Insanity
T - Arrichion (MMA)
F- Group Power
Can I just say that exercising is becoming a lot more difficult. Group Power (weightlifting) is still pretty easy and is definitely something that I think I'll be able to do up until the surgery date. However, my Tuesday and Thursday circuit training classes are kicking my bum! I am really struggling with push ups, pull ups and burpees. Trying to lift an additional 20lbs on a pull up band is HARD! Period the end - my bum is getting too heavy for all that! Insanity is still okay though - it is getting harder, but nothing like Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Symptoms: INSOMNIA, bloody gums when brushing / flossing, getting up THREE times a night to potty and not being able to hold Lottie for as long as I could before. I feel bad, but after a couple of minutes, I have to put her down. It becomes pretty uncomfortable. All in all though, these symptoms are nothing - I feel wonderful and trying to hold onto this feeling as I get ready to enter into my third trimester (the most uncomfortable of the bunch!)
Thyroid: Next follow up appointment is March 22, 2013. Lab work came back great after increasing my dosage so hopefully I can keep my appointment in March and not have to go back before then.
Maternity Clothes: EVERYTHING!!!!! This past weekend I bought a pair of Plus Size tights from Walmart to wear with all of my dresses. They were $5. Maternity tights usually run around $15 and I refuse to pay that kind of $$$ for tights that I'll only be wearing for another month or so. They fit like a glove - so comfortable!
Gender: It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!
Movement: She is moving here and there. Honestly though, I wonder if I shouldn't be feeling her move more. I get so paranoid about it sometimes! But I think a big part of it is me staying so busy that I don't pay attention to the small movements.
Food Cravings: Milk - No lie, I am going through about a gallon and a half of skim milk each week. I drink at least two large glasses a day. I seriously can't get enough!
Food Aversions: No aversions this past week - just straight up FAT! :)
Best Moment of the Week: I had a long talk with Lottie's teacher at school on Friday about how she was doing and progressing. I couldn't have been more PROUD of that little girl. She said that she is so smart and has the most bubbly, fun personality. She really lights up the classroom. She also said how sweet she was and how she was really going to miss her when she moves up to the next room. Hearing those sorts of things about your child really makes me feel like I am doing a good job. There are many times as a parent where I don't feel like I'm doing enough and am making so many mistakes, so to hear these affirmations really makes me feel great.
What I Miss: A GIANT vodka cocktail - yep, I said it!!!!!!!!
Differences Between 1st Pregnancy & 2nd Pregnancy: My sweet tooth doesn't seem to be overwhelming me this time around. Although I say that - if you sat a cake in front of me, I'd probably eat the whole thing. Maybe the real difference is that I'm not putting myself into a situation where I would eat an entire cake at a sitting.
Fears/Dreading: Dreading all the washing of clothes, etc. that I need to do before Mini Coop comes along! At least we aren't having to go out and buy any new clothes. :)
Follow Up Appointments/Ultrasounds: Next f/u appt. with my doctor is this Thursday. I will also have the glucose screening test to check for gestational diabetes.
