Well let's get up to speed. I am started experiencing pretty bad morning sickness around week 7 of the first trimester and it didn't really go away until week 17-18. I had a lovely couple of weeks in the 2nd trimester where I had more energy, was working out consistently, and didn't have any nausea.
Boom! 3rd trimester hit me at 27 weeks and by 29 weeks my morning sickness was back and worse than ever. Not only is it very unfair to be this pregnant and still have the morning sickness but it is now combined with heartburn/reflux and insomnia. The term morning sickness doesn't really fit either because the mornings are when I feel the best! So from now on I will refer to it as Up-All-Night-Sickness. The only thing I have found that helps is showering and sitting up.
My sleep is so jacked up these days. For instance, this morning was up and out of bed at 4:45am. By 3pm I hit a wall and slept until 6pm. It is now 2:38 am and I am wide awake. There has been no rhythm or consistency to my sleep but most days I at least nap when Avelyn naps at 2-5pm. Avelyn hasn't slept through the night in about 6 weeks either so on the off-chance I am asleep I usually do wake up with her multiple times a night (we are working on that).
I have been having tons of Braxton Hicks and a few times they got pretty strong and painful. Usually I get them when I've been on my feet too long. I haven't been exercising at all. Walking is very uncomfortable since Isla is sitting so low and any time I have to myself is usually spent catching up on chores or sleeping.
Brandon goes back to his ship in the morning and I'm sure these next few weeks will be pretty tough not having any help around here. I am almost in the home stretch though and this is probably his last hitch gone before the baby comes!
This pregnancy (despite the nausea) has gone by so fast! I seriously can't even believe I have 7 weeks or less until we meet baby Isla. I'm pretty nervous about the newborn phase because the second time around I DO know what to expect. Most of my anxiety stems from meeting Avelyn's needs when Isla will also be needing me so much. I am just going to do the best I can and try to remember that it won't last too long.
Avelyn started preschool 2 days a week and that has been great for the both of us! I get some alone time to get things done and she gets so much playing and learning. She goes to a school that is also a gymnastics studio so she gets outdoor playtime and a gym class everyday. She loves her school but cries when I drop her off. Ironically, she also has been crying when I try to get to leave! 2 years olds....
Okay I am starting to just ramble now so here is my belly shot from 31 weeks (not much change) and my current pregnancy stats:
How Far Along? 32 weeks 6 days
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 18 lbs
Stretch Marks: Still no..fingers crossed!
Best Moment of the Week: My extra long quiet time I got to do this morning. It was much needed!
Movement: Tons! She is already head down (good girl) and I feel her little elbows and legs squirming all around.
Food Cravings: Not sure if this counts but crunching ice..and watermelon!
Anything Make you Queasy or Sick? Ugh yes. Hormones apparently! I have been taking my Diclegis again and just take 1 at night. If I take more than that I am too tired to function during the day. Maybe that's why I feel so good in the morning? I am also having horrible heartburn/reflux starting at about 2pm onward which makes it challenging to drink as much water as I should.
Gender: Still Girl!
Belly Button In/Out: Last time it just got flat but this time the top half is poking out. We shall see what happens by the end.
Wedding Rings On/Off: ON! With Avelyn I had to go up 2 sizes but I think the preeclampsia caused me to gain extra water weight in my hands. They still fit great!
Happy or Moody: Both. There are times when I am so happy I literally cry and then there are times I feel so sick and isolated and alone (even when hubs is right there). I just remind myself not to take my big feelings too seriously right now. The nausea and sickness puts me in a bad mood as well.
I will try to be better about doing some updates before I actually deliver. I want to finish her nursery this week and will post some pics of that when I am done.
