And speaking of spring, only six more weeks until Violet is scheduled to arrive! Here's a pregnancy update:
How far along? 34 Weeks
Stretch marks? Negatory.
Sleep: So the Charlie horses have mostly subsided. I've been drinking a lot more water and eating a ton of bananas. I've been trying to play some mind games with myself to help with the restless leg syndrome, which seems to have spread to my entire body when I get tired at night. I picture it draining out of my body and it seems to help.
The hubster has helped a lot. He talks to me in a very soothing voice about physics when I get panicky at night and it helps calm me down and put me to sleep ;) There's nothing like hearing about string theory to make you sleep like a baby. Maybe I'll have him try it out on Violet in lieu of bedtime stories...
Best moment this week: When I had off on Friday and got to just relax and work on my house. I wish every weekend was three days long!
Movement: Crazy movement. More like rolls and undulations now rather than sharp kicks. Lots of bladder squeezing and LOTS of hiccups.
Food cravings: Trying to eat smaller portions lately. I gained a little too much between my last two doctor's appointments (4 or 5 pounds in 2 weeks - eek!). If I keep that up I'll gain another thirty pounds before Violet comes!
Gender: Still a girl!
Labor Signs: Still none.
Belly Button in or out? It's now stretched so far that I'd say it's neither - just flattened now lol.
What I miss: Being able to get out of my sofa, hot baths, wine, not going to the bathroom every half hour, energy, clothes that fit. I could go on...
What I am looking forward to: Having a baby!
Weekly Wisdom: When you're having a girl, you get a LOT of clothes. A LOT. My little girl is going to be styling...
