| 34 Weeks! |
How Far Along: 34 weeks! Only 6 weeks, but hopefully less left, until we meet Olivia!
Sleep: I've started sleeping a little bit better. I can get in a stretch of 3 hours before I have to get up to go to the bathroom. My hips don't start hurting me until around 4:00 AM and then it's hard to get comfortable.
Movement: She doesn't stop! I love feeling her move around but most times her movements are painful. It feels like she is trying to bust out of the womb! She's still a little peanut (per the doctors) so she is still able to flip all around and she definitely does! Sometimes she likes to lay horizontally but she's getting too big and I usually have a head trying to push itself out my abdomen and a foot or baby butt pressing on my ribs, not comfortable!
Best Moment(s) this Past Week: Last weekend my hot handsome husband and I put together Olivia's Pack n' Play, Rock n' Play and organized most of her things. Today I put together her mamaRoo and this week we'll install her car seat. It's exciting to be making the final preparations for her arrival.
Looking Forward to: Going to a wedding next weekend and seeing some of our military family. It'll be our last road trip and big adventure before Olivia's arrival.
Food Cravings: Chicken wings, french fries with Whataburger fancy ketchup (I think the first ingredient is crack because I'm addicted) and sandwiches with soup or salad. I'm still eating mostly fruit, yogurt, cereal and cottage cheese. They are my go to when I don't have much of an appetite or my stomach isn't feeling the greatest.
Labor Signs: I think I might have felt some Braxton Hicks this past week but I drank some water and sat down which made me feel much better.
What I Miss: Sleeping through the night, being able to get up from a sitting or laying position with ease, not moving at turtle pace and walking without having pelvic pain. Oh and beer! Seriously, fall brings all my favorite beers and I am dying for one! My hot handsome husband bought a case of Octoberfest so that I can enjoy some once Olivia arrives.
Weirdest Food I Ate This Week: I made breakfast for the hubby and I yesterday and the combination of cinnamon rolls, bacon and strawberries/kiwi sounded perfect to me!
Anything Make You Queasy or Sick: I haven't really been nauseous lately (knock on wood) but I do have days that I don't really have an appetite or my stomach just feels off. I am still vomiting (usually only once or twice a week) after dinner. It's random and completely unpredictable.
Symptoms: Upper back pain that seems to get worse by the day, pelvic pain when I walk, achy legs/feet and sometimes I feel short of breath (or I can't take a deep breath) if I'm out in the heat or sitting for too long. Occasionally if I'm on my feet a lot, my feet swell at the end of the day. Lately, when people ask me how I'm feeling, I reply very pregnant!
Workouts: I am still walking Cheyenne daily but the walks have become shorter and less often. My wonderful hubby has been taking over a lot of the walks because my feet and legs have been hurting a lot lately and he doesn't want me out in the heat.
Things that Suck: See all of the symptoms above! Due to the above symptoms, I sometimes have a sweet waddle going on!
Things that Don't Suck: We will meet Olivia in a month and a half!
I feel like my first trimester dragged on and my second trimester and the first few weeks of my third flew by. Now that we only have a handful of weeks left, I'm pretty sure time is standing still. I'm ready to have our sweet little angel and adjust to our new life. I've also had the itch to start running again even though I can barely walk now. For now, I'm practicing patience while Olivia continues to grow!
