29 weeks

Well here I am! A few days late...

So this week I definitely turned a corner. I definitely started really feeling uncomfortable for he first time. I think it's mainly due to my 19lb attachment I have to carry everywhere with me. (Blakely, not Henry-though he's putting a toll on me too) I think she is going to have a rough time over the next couple months cause she is going to have to get use to not being packed around. It's just killing my back.

I went walking the other day- when I was preg with B I went almost daily- this time around I bike at the gym for exercise and I haven't walked in quite a while. Let's just say I could really FEEL the extra 20lbs belly I am carrying!

I am measuring small again- like I did with Blakely. (though you wouldn't know it by my weight gain!) It is a little unnerving, but not nearly as much as it was with her. At least we have some sort of idea what all this means this time. So the docs are keeping a closer eye on me from now on.

I didn't really talk much about it when it all happened while I was pregnant with Blakely- cause I was totally freaked out. So my memory is a blur. But basically around the same time in the pregnancy (25-30 weeks) I started measuring much smaller than I should've then went to see a Perinatologist (specialist) and B wasn't growing like she should. So eventually they decided she'd be better off out than in, so I was induced at a little less than 36 weeks.

So sure enough, the same thing started happening last week with this pregnancy. Luckily, we (and especially the docs) know what they are looking for and were already monitoring me closely anyway. So now they are just monitoring me even more closely.

I gave up sweets for the third trimester cause I was getting pretty out of control. I am regretting it badly but I am going to try to stick with it. I definitely find many creative ways to "cheat." Like eggo waffles for any meal or any time of day... Cinnamon rolls for lunch a few days ago..(but it really was my LUNCH!) or my 500cal Starbucks drink. :) but I am sure I am still eating less sweets than I did. I should've at least waited till after Oreos 100th bday...
