34 weeks! This third trimester is going by so fast! I have been able to cross off some of the things on my BabyT#3 prep list and I’m hoping to get the rest done this coming weekend.
My mom and I went north this past weekend, I had a class for my doula work and mom wrnt with me to keep me company. I had her look for some maternity jeans for me while she was shopping and she found me a pair for $12! Yay!
Seth was the photographer again. 🙂
I had an appointment this morning with my awesome OB. BabyT#3’s head down and very low which is why I’m measuring small. Just to be on the safe side I’ll be going for weekly appointments now to keep an eye on his growth and I’m working on adding in lots more protein- I haven’t been doing to well in that department lately. More eggs, meat and protein powder for me!
My Stats:
Weight:
At my appointment today I was up 36 pounds. I’m wondering what the final gain will be….
Cravings:
None really. I like spicy food, but there haven’t been any “have to have it now” cravings in a while.
Diet and Exercise
Following THM more closely the last couple of weeks. A couple of weeks ago I ate some dairy without realizing it which cause my yeast rash to come back on my hand. Following THM almost perfectly has been the only way to get rid of it. I’ve dealt with this rash since I was in my mid teens and the only success I’ve had with getting rid of it long term has been to follow THM. When I was eating dairy regularly and consuming refined sugars it would have flare ups that left me scratching all night. Doing different things to strengthen my gut walls, adding in more healthy fats and eliminating sugar are always the best thing for me when I do have a rare flare up now.
As far as exercise I’m not sure how much longer that will be able to happen. I pulled a muscle in my thigh somehow and anything other than walking seems to hurt it. 🙁 I’m going to rest it for a few more days and then try some gentle stretching and see what happens.
What I’m Loving:
All the little things we’re finishing up before BabyT#3 arrives. I love folding his clothes and reareanging things in the boys room to fit in Baby’s clothes. I love deep cleaning and reorganizing. I love finding things to get rid of.
What I’m NOT Loving
This pulled muscle thing. It’s no fun!
BabyT#3’s Stats
Weight
Around 5 lbs now.
Length
17-18 inches. I think Cameron was 18″ at birth. BabyT#3 probably won’t be growing to much longer…these last few weeks he’ll be working on add fat to his frame. I have to say I’m looking forward to some chubby baby cuddles, so I hope he adds on a little bit of fat. 🙂
That’s what’s hapening here with BabyT#3 and I. I hope you’re having a good September! It’s almost halfway over! Any goals to finish up?
You look adorable! I love your maternity outfit. I’m also in the thick of third trimester (31 weeks), and moving around is getting more difficult. I feel like I strain something in every workout because it’s just so easy to overdo it! I hope you get some good rest and healing for your muscle.
Thanks! Both the top and the jeans are from Kohls. Yay for clearance!! 🙂 The shoes are one of the best $10 purchases I have ever made at Walmart. I love that they are slip on, less bending required. 😉
I’m hoping a couple more days of not much more than walking will be just what I need so I can get back to it. How long are you resting after you pull a muscle?
<3<3<3 Even with the blurry picture you look adorable!!! Yay for the babe almost being here!!!
Aww! Thanks!! 🙂
Yeah! You look great! It’s so much fun to read about someone else going through the same things as me. I feel like my third trimester has just flown by too. I hope you continue to feel well 🙂
You are so close Tricia!! I hope things go well for you when baby decides to make her {it’s a girl right?} appearance. 🙂
Love it – you are getting me more and more excited for my first grand baby due early December!
Congrats Grandma!! 😉 Do you know whether you will have a granddaughter or grandson?
how exciting it must be for you! 😀
Thanks Andi!
You look great — blurry picture and all! You are getting so close. Those last weeks seem to drag, don’t they? Well, I guess they did with my first, but with my second I was so busy taking care of my first that sometimes I’d lose track os the week I was on! Many blessings to you! Thank you for sharing your pregnancy journey with us. 🙂
Yes, sometimes I have to think about what week it is. I actually ended up writing it in my calendar so that I would know. 🙂
Oh this is so exciting!!! Folding all the baby clothes <3 oh my goodness, I'm so excited for you xo
Yes! It’s my favorite part of getting ready for baby. Memories of my other boys in those outfits and thinking of the newest one to join us soon. 🙂
