Week 34

Busy week again, though not busy enough to keep me from getting sick of being pregnant. I need a project. But I don't have energy to start or do one.... such first world problems for a pregnant lady. I also ditched my FB preggo group. Too many hormonal, bitchy women. Seriously, I was getting irritated every time I went on there and then I was like, "why am I doing this? I don't care about any of these women, or KNOW them at all, so let's be done." I then left. It's been a lot more peaceful! I don't need to fight with complete strangers about the choices I've made for my family. Like seriously. I went looking for a group because I really enjoyed it with Emma's pregnancy, but it was a much smaller, more mature, less teen mom, general freaks, sort of group and we splintered off into a FB group. I love that I actually feel like I know them and care about what happens to them. Anyway, on the show. 

Week :34 

What I love: I have six weeks left. (Hopefully not longer... please Lord!) The kids being excited about their baby sister. That I can still work out. YES! That I will never have to do this again! OH THANK GOD!!!!! Oh, and I really love that I am not shaving very much! 

What I hate: Being sore and achy more then not. I've gotten to the place where my hips hurt, and my sacrum pain is ramping up and there really isn't much to do about it until the baby is out. I just have to hold on a little longer. Oh, and disobedient kids. Seriously. Wow. Parenting is so much work at times. Little boogers. 

What I miss: Everything. Life. The universe. All that good stuff. Being normal and bending over and leaning back in my chair and sleeping on my back OR my stomach instead of just my poor sides that are bearing the brunt of all the weight I've gained. Oh and I'm not fond of all the weight I've gained either. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: Being through the hard part. The birth and then the first couple days of staggering around in a stupor. Holding this little girl. Being able to breath again. So much to look forward too!

Sleep: Unfortunately, it's going down the toilet. I have been waking up and not falling back asleep and aching at night because I can't change positions enough to keep my comfortable. Oh it sucks! I miss sleeping like a dead thing. 

Bra Size:C

Wedding rings on or off: Off. I am going to take it up to Fairbanks and get the jeweler to solder it together so it's all ready for me when I can get it on my finger. 

Weight: 171   Weight Gain: 28 lbs. I lost a pound. Don't know why, but whatever. I'll take it. 

Worries: I'm truly worried about her position. She went breech again this week and then transverse for a day or two. And now she's back to head down, (I think) and she's curled up in such a weird way. I don't know what to do with the kid. I am really afraid that she'll either be breech and I'll have to have a C section or that she'll be posterior and I'll have a hellish, long birth with her. PLEASE JUST GET WHERE YOU NEED TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Developments: 
The aching all the time is probably new. The worsening of the sacrum pain. But nothing really note worthy. 

Things of Interest: 

I had my prenatal with Joy & Karen together and it went well. I shared all my anxiety about her position and just birth itself. It helped me to get it out to them and they of course were really calming about it. I am really happy that Karen it going to be there with me again. She's really great with the pain management part and being a steady, calm rock. I will have my next appt in Fbx at the birth center so I can get my last labs done. Then I go to weekly appts. Which is exciting. Last step before D day. We also had our big family shin dig this weekend and it was fun and I got a misfit tracker thing. It doesn't track for Crossfit, which is unfortunate, but it does for running, so it will nice to have when I get to lace my shoes back up and hit the road.... or the treadmill until the snow melts. 

Mood: Up and down. Being in pain and discomfort makes it hard to be up. But I am DETERMINED not to get sucked into a hole of complaint and bitchiness as it doesn't help and just makes those around me miserable too. I don't want to go there!

Movement:  Yes. She hurts me all the time! STOP IT!

The belly (and the button!): I think I got another stretch mark. Maybe. It's super light, but it feels a bit bumpy. I'll have to see when my belly shrinks again. 

Measurements: Chest:  Waist:   Midsection:  Hips:  Thighs: I didn't take them this week. I just kept forgetting and putting it off and now it's 35 weeks. So I'll have to do it in the next post. 

Exercise: Still cruising on the pull ups which is encouraging. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able too, but I can still get two in a row. I only did 4 days but one of those days I did a MAJOR cleaning of the kitchen and reorganization and then cooked all afternoon and could barely drag myself out of bed the next day. I'll post all my WODS as I've gotten behind and need to catch up. 

Eating: Still doing well with the no sugar during the week. I'm almost there! I can keep this weight gain down to 35lbs.. HOPEFULLY!

The weekly pics: 

Fat: Your baby's layers of fat are filling out. She'll need them to regulate her body temperature once she's born.

Lungs: Your baby's lungs are well developed now. About 99 percent of babies born at this stage can survive outside the womb, and most have no major long-term problems.

And me.
