SURGERY DATE: MAY 3, 2013 - 10 weeks to go!!!
Total Weight Gain (CRINGE): 21 lbs - YIKES!
Exercise:
M- Insanity
T - Arrichion (Warrior)
W - Insanity
T - Arrichion (MMA)
F - Group Power
Exercising is becoming a thing of difficulty! Trying to do push ups, pulls ups, etc. with an additional 20+lbs of weight on you is NOT easy! I've had to do a couple of modifications during my circuit training classes - no more burpees and definitely no more box jumps/steps! But with that said, I can't imagine at this point not working out so I am carrying on until I can carry no more! I am almost at 100 classes at Arrichion so my goal is to get there before I go out on leave! I think I've got about 12 to go.
Symptoms: INSOMNIA (no joke - the worst!!!), getting up THREE times a night to potty, not being able to hold Lottie for more than a minute and a little hip pain at night (due to sleeping on my sides). Despite it all, I feel pretty good. I am definitely getting much more uncomfortable though. I feel huge!!!!!!!!!!
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!!!!!
Gender: It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!
Movement: This past week, she had a couple of dance parties that seemed like it lasted for 10 minutes or so. It was great!
Food Cravings: This past week, I have been absolutely ravenous!!!!!!!! I can't stop eating! I have been straight out of control! I ate more of those honey wheat braided pretzels than I care to share. I can't stop! I am still eating healthy (fruits, veggies, lean meat) but find myself wanting to snack all the time. Snack attacks!
Food Aversions: ZERO!
Best Moment of the Week: Outlet shopping with my sister at Tanger Outlets - Myrtle Beach!!!!! We had such a good time - just the two of us.
What I Miss: This past week I had a good ole cry (dang hormones!!!!!!!!) - I really miss my parents. I just don't think you can truly appreciate them until you have your own kids. I just wish they were here to love on my babies and provide me with the guidance I feel like I need from time to time. I would give up almost anything to have just one more day!!!!!
Differences Between 1st Pregnancy & 2nd Pregnancy: I feel like I am much more hormonal! Poor Steve is all I've got to say! :)
Fears/Dreading: This week, I've had some lower abdominal cramping. I fear going into early labor b/c I need every day leading up to the surgery reserved for work!!!!!!!! Thinking about all of the work and the need to find a temp replacement is enough to get my blood pressure soaring!
Follow Up Appointments/Ultrasounds: Next f/u appt. with my doctor is March 4, 2013. I start going every two weeks now!
Bump Photo: If you poked me with a pin, I'm sure I'd pop!
Awwwww, love you girl! You look AWESOME... and 21 lbs @ 29 weeks aint so bad... especially since you look so gorgeous! Insomnia sounds horrible and peeing through the night -- eeeeeekkk! Coop #2 will be worth it though! This gave me a tear, Mama Coop... I know your parents are looking down on you and Scuba, just admiring the wonderful job you've done with your life and the life of their grand babies! You're making them very, very, very proud. I know it's hard and I can't imagine. Please let me know if there's any void that I can fill... babysitting, a friend, a shoulder, whatever... I know it's hard. Love you!
