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!
