Week 10

Exhausting week that it was. We had so much smoke most of the week that I barely slept and I was an emotional mess, because I HATE smoke more then anything and it was hotter the heck and no way to cool down or breath because the smoke was so thick. A couple of nights, our room was 78 degrees, which is SO too hot to sleep in. BUT Saturday it RAINED all. night. long. It was so beautiful and cool and wet and fresh! It took all the smoke out of the air and we had a GLORIOUS Sunday. Perfectly clear and fresh and warm, but not too hot. Thank the Lord!

Week:10

What I love: Not feeling particularly pregnant. It's a nice stage when things aren't too pregnanty, but I'm still growing a baby. I'm not hampered by a belly and though my belly is starting it's trip to the far end of the earth, it hasn't made much progress yet. 

What I hate: SMOKE! HATE HATE HATE! But that is not pregnancy related. I actually don't hate anything other then fatigue at the moment and I wouldn't even use the word hate. More a general antipathy toward. :) 

What I miss: Sleeping! Well this also has to do with the smoke, but I will say that the not falling back asleep after I wake up in the middle of the night seems to be starting as well. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: Being finished having kids. Oh the freedom! Oh the joy! Oh how I am happy that our baby making days will be over and we can just enjoy our family. :) 

Sleep: Not great, but again, smoke. 

Bra Size: Well it finally happened. They have finally started to grow. I was kind of hoping to not grow at all until I started nursing... :) A foolish dream of course, but a girl can always hope... So I am now a full A! I know. Really big. But I do like being small, so I keep looking at my boobs going, "wow, these are big!"

Wedding rings on or off: On, though many times I have a hard time getting it off when I exercise. 

Weight: 143!  Weight Gain: 0 This was still the case at the beginning at the week. I haven't checked again. 

Worries: None at the moment that are pregnancy related. 

Symptoms:SO tired still! I think it's because my body is still fighting a sinus infection, but on Thursday I could hardly get myself to move around. I ended up sleeping 1.5 during the kids afternoon nap instead of exercising like a good girl. I was just totally exhausted. My skin is also TERRIBLE! I hate pregnancy acne! It's all over my back and forehead. But what to do? Survive. I didn't feel sick much this last week, so I am hopeful that it is finally running it's course.  

Mood: Bad because of the smoke. Weepy a bit but also because of the smoke. 


Movement: Nope. 

The belly (and the button!): Popping out a bit more, bloating nicely every day..... the usual. 

Measurements: Chest: 35 Waist: 28.75 Midsection: 32 Hips: 39 Thighs: 21.25  Didn't check this week. 

Exercise: I did pretty good this week. Five days. Three of Crossfit and running and two days of running on the weekend. The runs on the weekend were less then stellar. I was slow and lacked a good deal of energy. But I got off my butt and did it. So that's all to the good. 

Eating: Too much and too many carbs, but not too bad. I am cutting back on the wheat specifically starting this next week, mostly because Dan wants too, and heck, why not, so I was kind of stocking up on noodles. They are one thing that I crave and could eat all day long every day. But instead I am eating more salad, more eggs, the usual stuff. 

The weekly pics: 

Brain: Your baby's forehead bulges with her developing brain and sits high on her head.

Fingers: Your baby's fingers are now completely separated and tiny fingernails are starting to grow in.

Uterus: Your uterus has doubled by now, from the size of a pear before you got pregnant to the size of a grapefruit.

Yolk sac: Your baby's liver is now making blood cells; the yolk sac is no longer needed and begins to disappear.
