Due Date: October 24. 84 days to D Day.
Weight Gain: Up 16 pounds, which is exactly where I was with both other pregnancies at this point. I just want to tell the scale, “Stay here for another 12 weeks and we’ll be good.” but I guess if I gain a 1/2 a week I’ll end up where I was with Isaac and if I gain about a pound a week I’ll be where I ended with Jonathan. Ah well.
Symptoms: Exhaustion, irritability, random evening heartburn and nausea. I am getting a little annoyed with throwing up after dinner.
What’s different this time: Not that I am one to indulge in retail therapy, but there is even less of it this time with the baby’s gender unknown.
Cravings/Aversions: I could down a whole cantaloupe if you let me. Peaches are making their way out of season, but I am still happy to eat them! I find aversions popping up in weird places. I never know what it will be next!
Sleep: Getting decent sleep but waking up a lot.
I am loving: That Clint and I get to go away this weekend for TWO WHOLE NIGHTS by ourselves. No children. To the UP. I am beyond excited, particularly since last time we were kid free over night was 2 years ago when I was pregnant.
I miss: Not having a beach ball belly.
Are you nesting? I got the knick knacks hung up and put away! Next job, tackle the garage and find whatever stinks so badly. Also, start recycling again. And make up a chore chart. And strip the diapers. And…
Milestones: Some more web sites welcome me into the third trimester this week. Yay. Also into the 80’s in terms of days left until due date.
Best moment this week: Feeling settled about where I am going to deliver this baby was a wonderful feeling!
I am stressing over: I am starting to feel like the summer is slipping through my fingers and I want to make the most of what’s left!
Movement: Lots of it!
It’s a: I am guessing boy this week.
Exercise: Ran 30 miles over 5 days last week, problem free. Cross trained on the off days and did weights once but I NEED to get back to a regular routine with weights.
Diet: Same old, same old.
Exercise goal for the upcoming week: I am trying to only run 4 days this week but still get in 30 miles. Partly I want to make sure my body gets a break but partly I am wanting one of the runs to be an 11 miler and want to make sure I am well rested. Throw in 3 days of cross training and 1 day of weights and riding all over Mackinac Island on Saturday and I will call it good! The big goal, since I am quasi-following the long run portion of a half marathon plan (half marathon in 2 weeks that I may or may not do) is the 11 miler.
