Cravings:
Dr Pepper and Candy! YES MY CANDY CRAVINGS HAVE FINALLLLY RETURNED! and its been a sweet reunion.
Movement: Baby girl now rolls around, BIG ROLLS, back and forth trying to find a comfy spot. Torin can even seen her rollin. Im tempted to play "Ridin Dirty" every time she gets going.
OB News: I have switched my obgyn and have left GBMC. Which wasnt a sweet parting, my ob at GBMC was legit upset at me when I told him I was switching to deliver at St Joseph's in fact he discharged me from his practice and said I could never return. HARSH. But I know the midwives at St Joseph's and St Joseph's are just a better option for us so yea oh well.
Comfort level (scale 1-10 comfiest): Im at about a 4, yea my comfort is dwindling. As my stomach gets rounder Im disabled from doing certain things, like tying my own shoes. I sorta just slip in and out of them. Torin has to help me out of bed and if he isnt home I have to roll to the left like a cow or horse. Cleaning is difficult no more getting on my knees to scrubs floors or sweep with the hand brush.
Baby Prep: We have decided to forgo childbirthing classes, we are going to let my body do what it does. We will be taking a lactation class though. We have been given a breast pump and lots of clothes and gadgets by an old friend, S/O to Courtney, an amber teething necklace and squeeze system from the Dunhams, cute clothes from Torin's mom, and a baby swing from Torin's classmate. The baby shower is the 19th, after then we will kick it into full gear with accumulating baby items.
How im feeling: Sadly nausea has returned and its super random when it happens. Usually I can just eat something and feel better... which really means im constantly eating. Im sure I've gained a considerable amount of weight since my last ob visit. Its been almost 4 weeks since my last visit so I anticipate that Ive gained about 5 lbs at least. I feel stretching and pulling periodically down below and in my tummy. She is growing at record pace these last weeks. And Im tired on a whole new level. Body tired, mentally tired, just overall tired alll the time. Im amazed that I can make it through full work weeks still! (pats self on back)
Current favs: Shea and cocoa butter baby oil on my tummy, boobs, and legs (NOT A STRETCH MARK YET), cotton boy shorts instead of bikini styled underwear (they just feel more comfy and I always feel covered), and lemonade (Baby girl dances all about when I drink it and its super refreshing!)
How Im lookin:
