Hello everyone!
Wow, I can't believe I have 12 weeks to go until I am a mom. Until my life changes forever. 12 weeks left of just Warren and I. 12 weeks of sleeping in, making dinner is optional, and spending money on me. Yikes.
I just had another OB appointment today and I gained 4lbs last month. So my grand total of weight gain is 22lbs so far. Generally, I still feel great and am doing well. At the last appointment, the OB said that the baby's kidneys were measuring in the upper limits of normal, and so she wants another ultrasound just to keep an eye on them. Oh, boo hoo, I get to see my baby again. She wanted the scan done within my 28th week and I did not hear from the clinic, so that was one of my questions.
The other question was is it normal for my wounds to take so long to heal? For example, Myles scratched me like over 2 months ago (freaked out over the swiffer.... fo real) and I still have a red mark. And my backne has cleared up but I still have all of the marks from when it was raging. She said not to worry, and it will clear up when the pregnancy is over. Phewf.
Other than that, everything is fine. Some days I am more tired than others, and then I get anxious that this looming cloud of fatigue is about to hang over me. Then other days I am great. The lesson is to take it day by day.
As for work, my mat leave has been replaced and she starts at the beginning of July. So she'll have about 3 to 4 weeks of training before I say seeeeeeeee ya and I'm out. I feel relieved that is taken care of. I'm still doing ok at work... I did have to sit someone up today who forgot how to bend at the waist.., it was like trying to sit an ironing board. After I saw her, I thought maybe that wasn't the best idea to do pregnant, but I felt fine. The biggest struggle at work is my pants need constant adjustment. They don't fit over my belly or under; I refuse to buy maternity scrubs.
As for working out, it is going awesome. Joe really made my day today. He said I look leaner in my face and arms, and also said I don't look pregnant from behind! I was super excited since he is always honest. I told Warren what he said and again, Warren has told me that same thing so many times and says that I just don't believe it. hahaha... deja vu to when I was training.... I'd listen to Joe when Warren already told me the same thing. I did 110lbs on the leg press for 20 reps and am still lifting 35lbs for military press on the hammerstrength. The only thing I've really lightened up on are deadlifts, squats and lunges because I get short of breath so quickly. I think I need to break up with my regular work out clothes though... my shirts ride up on the gravitron and my shorts just don't fit the same.
As for the nursery.... the goal is to be finished this weekend! It has been a very busy last 4 weeks and when the weekend comes, I've either booked something or I crash. I will have more updates soon!
