The Start of Back Pain

My last wedding of the year is complete!
Unfortunately, during that wedding, my back started with pain that makes limping a regular part of my walk. Thank goodness for great husbands! I have a feeling it's going to be this way for the next 6-9 weeks... RELAX TIME!

Checking in

Ah... The familiar scent of colostrum...

I've started leaking and I can smell it now. -.- This happened in my first pregnancy and I didn't realize it until it was all over the place and I could smell it everywhere. Thankfully, I was watching for it this time and at the first signs of leakage, I purchased breast pads to minimize the smell (of which I can't stand...).

Also, I know this is kind of a weird thing to say during pregnancy, but my maternity pants have started falling off of me. :/ If it weren't for the belly band holding them up, I'd consider them too big.

Prenatal Appointment (28 Weeks)

I moved my doc appointment from Thursday to yesterday because the baby worried me with no exercise routine yesterday morning and I was continuing to feel like crap with slightly elevated blood pressure. In short, everything is fine and the baby's movement is back to normal. Other than really tired today, I feel better, as well. The doctor said, "This is just pregnancy for you..." Ugh! Really? The ONLY thing that makes me feel better is sleep... There's nothing else that can be done other than keeping up with eating every 2 hours and drinking over 100 ounces of water per day which causes me to go running to the bathroom every hour. -.- I now get to start daily kick counts and both Peter and I got our tdap vaccinations.

PLEASE NOTE: If you intend on seeing the baby within the first 6 months after birth, you MUST have your vaccinations up to date! Specifically the tdap within the last 10 years. The baby will not be able to get vaccinated until then and we do not want to take any risks. Thank you!

The beginning of the 3rd trimester!

3rd Trimester (28 weeks)! Most of my blood sugar and blood pressure issues have been resolved with simply drinking more water and eating more often. I passed a second 3 hour glucose test and may actually have a concern about low blood sugar rather than high. I'll talk to the doctor about it at my next appointment this coming Thursday. I did have a pretty bad high blood pressure issue this morning, but I think I'm ok now. Baby is moving more than ever now and we can't wait to meet this big ball of energy!

Wakey Wakey Exercises!

This is what I feel like the baby is doing every morning... I seriously don't need an alarm anymore... -.-;
