It's hard to believe I'm into the single digits of how many weeks I have left...I recently read an article where it talked about how being pregnant is a privilege - I completely agree with that, it's a beautiful gift and an amazing thing, I feel really lucky - but I'm also really looking forward to her arrival and returning to my non-pregnant self. It has been ridiculously hot, and that is a wee bit uncomfortable, and quite frankly...I long to sleep on my stomach, roll over with ease, and put on jeans that have a button. I'm giving baby girl 3 or 4 more weeks, and then I'm starting in with the pep talks! :)
Latest Cravings - I love dark chocolate, but I try to limit myself to a small(ish) piece a day...I also have switched from raspberries to blueberries. Oh how I love blueberries....blueberry frozen yogurt, blueberries in my cereal...yum! Oh, and cereal...I eat it at least once a day...
Biggest Lifesaver - Tums and body pillows. Good Lord, the heartburn is still carrying on...food, drink, oxygen - it all brings on the heartburn. Tums usually does the trick but there have been a few times it doesn't quite take care of it. As for body pillows, I feel like I have old lady hips, they get so tired and it is more than a project to roll over.
Surprising Moment - Ryan was out of town this past weekend for a bachelor party and I thought...here is my chance to go to sleep early! I was so proud to be in my pajamas by 7pm and I was in bed by 9 but then I was having the most insane, what I presume is Braxton Hicks contractions. I slept like crap, and it hurt to lay down, I kept having to get up and walk around - they finally went away but it was the realization that I'm getting very close to the big day. Needless to say, Ryan's will no longer be traveling anywhere...at least without me!
Tomorrow we are meeting with our potential pediatrician, we get to tour the practice and meet the doctors. I'm happy to get this big item squared away, it will make me feel much better knowing that's all in order.
Friday is our next doctor's appointment...pretty soon I'll start going every week! We're really getting close! Latest bump picture coming soon....
