This is just a funny Pug cartoon... It just makes my day :)
Alright, so I am almost at 31 weeks and baby girl is growing everyday! I feel bigger than before for sure, and also have noticed some new changes. Some of them have been all the round ligament pain I have been having. I had it before but it is even more frequently now and more painful!! I also have gotten a little swollen somedays! One day it hurt to walk because my feel were 'little fatties'!!!!! I have been able to wear my wedding ring just fine, but not at night. I also discovered what heartburn is... I didn't know what it was all about until Friday afternoon, as I went to step off the elevator and VURP. GROSS... it was nasty and, well, now I know what it is.
I have been getting full from eating really quickly these days! But, then I am hungry again sooner that usual. So, I have been eating smaller meals throughout the day and that should also help with heartburn.
George and I graduated out birthing class last week so we are official. We know about labor, all the in's and out's of baby delivery, and also got a little tutorial on how to swaddle a newborn and whatnot. I liked that we got a tour of the hospital and what to expect when we are admitted. I learned about how things will go down, and George learned all about how to support me, and aide with the pain as labor occurs. We also learned about interventions.... like drugs. And after I am at 5 centimeters dilated hook a sister up! I don't like needles but I am pretty sure I will be begging for one when its time. The class was kind of fun, but I think George was kind of bored for some of it :)
This weekend I got an area rug for Ava's room and we got our basinet. I have some clothes put into her drawers also so her room is really becoming a room! It is cute, and I am feeling more prepared for her arrival! Physically, and... literally physically!
Something that has been really hard lately is feeling good about my body. I know I have gained weight and its normal, but its not the weight, its not being able to wear cute clothes! I am limited on outfits for sure, and it's not like there are a lot of places to buy clothes for a pregnant chick! So, I long for the day I can wear my colored cropped capri pants and a regular shirt... Or normal jeans without a belly panel. And if I'm lucky my huge boobs will drop down to the normal C cups they were before... none of this crazy alphabet business... and I can wear normal bras too! (after nursing that is)
That is the hard part, not being able to do normal things. I just want my body back so I can go for a job, or go grab a drink with friends, or wear clothes that are normal. And I really miss shopping! There are so many cute Spring things out and none of it fits me. I don't want to buy anything yet because I am not sure if it will fit after baby... not sure how my body will change. So I just look for now but its a tease!!!! Guess I'm saving money... but I will resort to shoes. HAHA
