32 Week Doctors appointment

TOday I had my 32 week doctors appointment. I got to see Dr. Leinenbach this time which was great. I weighed in at 152 lbs. and am measuring 31, which is a week behind. Dr. leinenbach didn't seem concerned with the size at all. She said she would love for me to deliver a small baby. THis was a very short appointment. I go back in 2 weeks and see dr. Leinenbach again! this pregnancy is flying by!

31 Weeks

I am 31 weeks pregnant this week and I weighed in at 151 lbs. I am happy to say that I am back on my workout routine and I am loving it. Group power on Mondays, walk on Tuesdays, swim class on Wednesdays, walk On Thursdays and yoga on Saturdays! I really wanted to try and start running some but today when I got on the treadmill I was going to start off with my usual incline of 4-5 and pace of 4- 4.5 and I got this awful cramp in my lower abdomen. I ended up having to take it off the incline completely and only walk at a 3.5! I was so mad. I felt like a snail on the treadmill and after the cramp went away I tried to bump it up and the cramp came right back. I normally walk a 15 to 14.5 minute mile and I usually do at least 4 miles. Hopefully it was just the way Elijah was laying today and I will be able to go at my normal pace on Thursday. I don't think I will be trying running until after I have him though. I have been craving lunch meat sandwiches or anything grilled. I have also been craving homemade chocolate chip cookies and ice cream! I am still getting up about 2-3 times to pee and my heart burn is not getting any better. I am still not taking a prescription but I might have to be getting on one soon. My feet swelled for the first time Friday night, but I think it was because we ate outside and it was so hot out and I had been sitting for like 2 hours straight. I hope I don't start swelling bad the rest of the summer! I still have almost 2 months to go! I still have my brothers wedding to get through also!

30 Weeks

I am 30 weeks pregnant today! I weighed in at 149 lbs. which Really was not bad considering we just got back from vacation and had Father's Day on Sunday. I am helping with vacation bible school this week and trying to get caught up on laundry and get unpacked. I have loved coming home to a clean house. I think I am now going to have to work a cleaning lady into our budget. At least for the first few months of having Elijah. I think with going back to work so soon after I have him and jax and Christian going to school I am just going to have a lot on my plate and don't want to worry about cleaning the house. I want to spend as much time with Elijah as I can and not be worrying about my house all the time!  I am trying desperately to get back in my workout routine this week but it is not going well with vbs in the mornings and me helping with it. I was going at least 3-4 times a week before vacation and I was doing a mixture of cardio and strength training and I was really starting to see some results in my arms and legs, not to mention I was feeling great when I did get to the gym! I am so ready to get that schedule back. I might have to wait until next week though. I walked today but this might be the only day I can make it to the gym this week. I am still getting up several times at night to pee and that is getting really annoying. I am now craving cheeseburgers and hot dogs on the grill and Brussels sprouts, kale and squash all sautéed together. It is so good! I am also loving ice cream for dessert! I still have not had any problems with swelling which is good. I am still wearing my rings. I am running out of clothes to wear that are comfortable in the heat. Elijah seems to be moving more and more each week and Jason is finally starting on the nursery! It is going to take forever to get it all finished. I have got to register for the hospitals this week. I was supposed to do that months ago and still haven't done it! We still have no idea which hospital we are going to go to either. I am just going to register at both and decide later. It has been super hot lately so we have been spending lots of time in the pool to keep cool! 

30 week doctors appointment

Today I had my 30 week doctors appointment. I weighed in at 149 lbs. which
Really was not bad considering we just got back from vacation and had Father's Day yesterday. I didn't get to see my doctor today because she was stuck in a delivery, so I saw the nurse practitioner instead. Julie measured me at 27 1/2 to 28 weeks which had me concerned because that is what I measured last time. She said at this point it could be the way he is laying and that she wasn't concerned at all. I totally forgot to ask her what his heart rate was, but I am assuming it was in the 140's or 150's like it has been. I go back in 2 weeks! It's hard to believe that i am already going every other week!

29 Weeks

I am 29 weeks pregnant today and we are spending the day at Disney world! I weighed in this week at 148 lbs. which isn't horrible. I am clearly not going to make my goal of 150 lbs. though. 8 have been feeling pretty good pregnancy wise. I have a bad cold right now so that sucks. The car ride down my legs kept going to sleep and my lower back has started hurting me. I am getting up 2-3 times at night to pee which I awful! I have been eating my fill of seafood so far also. Vacation has been amazing so far and so relaxing! I wish we never had to leave!

28 Weeks

I am 28 weeks pregnant today! I weighed in at 147 lbs. which is good for this week! We are super busy packing and getting ready for vacation this week. I have decided to have someone come and deep clean our house while we are gone. I have never had anyone clean my house before. I usually do it all myself and I usually deep clean everything before we leave for vacation so when we come home everything is perfect and we are ready for a fresh start. With the yard sale last week and Christian having wrestling camp this week I just have no time to do it. I don't even know how I am going to get all of us packed in time! I am so ready to get to Florida and just hang out and relax for a week. My heartburn is getting worst, but I am able to still manage it with tums and Zantac. I get up at least once and sometimes twice to pee at night. This is making for a very restless sleep. I am really starting to feel big and my clothes are all getting tighter. I have been wearing mostly casual sun dresses because that is the most comfortable! I have been craving steak and rice a lot lately. I am probably going to have to wait until after vacation to satisfy that craving. I will be getting my seafood fill while on vacation for sure! I haven't started swelling yet either which is great! I am hoping to make it through my brothers wedding before I start swelling too bad.
