Third Trimester Bumpdate
Where did the time go? I can’t believe we just hit the third trimester in this pregnancy! It wasn’t that long ago where I was just hoping and praying we would just hit 14 weeks “the safe mark”.
Excuse my shock!!!!
So, here it is our 28 week bumpdate:
I’m officially 28 weeks and 1 day! Baby Hurt is the size of a large eggplant! It’s really crazy to think about what are bodies are capable of doing! I keep saying ignorance has been bliss throughout some of this process! Haha!
How are you feeling?
The nausea has let up quite a bit, I find myself only getting sick a few times a week now. My OB had me increase my intake of vitamin D and Magnesium to help with headaches and the nausea. Adam has been such a rock star throughout this whole process!
Emotional I have been feeling okay! My husband and I lost our fur baby unexpectedly on 3/21. I was in Houston at the time visiting my sister. Hormones didn’t help this at ALL! I was heartbroken, and found myself not excited about anything including being pregnant. The hormones are a huge factor into that.
I’ve been an open book about my pregnancy journey, and want to be completely honest with you guys! I was really down for a few weeks and started to worry that if I felt like this now, that must mean I am going to go through postpartum depression. I know crazy to think right?! Hormones are no joke!
My family, friends and co-workers tried everything to help cheer me up. I really had no appetite and my mom was really starting to worry about me. I was sad, angry, heartbroken one minute I felt like it was going to be okay and the next I felt like this was the worst thing to have gone through. Hormones did me no favors here and heightened all these emotions and feelings. Slowly I’ve started to come back around and getting excited again. It was a lot to go through, on top of being pregnant. Being extremely emotional throughout the this process is extremely normal. Expect this! And just know you are NOT ALONE! Thankful for Adam! There has been a few changes in our home since! We now have one of Remi’s 17 week old pups (that we named Ace!i
“Changes”
This bump has officially popped! I’ve gained a total of 3 lbs! My pre- pregnancy jeans no longer fit and are out! I have been living in my fabletics maternity leggings! I am constantly having to go pee! Sleep! Who needs that? Between waking up to pee and trying to get comfortable, you really don’t get a good nights rest!
Cravings! Ice cream! I’ve had a couple of strange cravings like sushi with peanut butter (don’t worry I did not eat this)! Cereal, but on peanut butter captain crunch!
This pregnancy brain thing is really kind of scary! For some reason almost all my weird moments have happened at Target! Adam is convinced that this means I spend too much time at Target! I mean I had a cart full of stuff including my purse, phone and sisters purse and randomly grabbed an empty cart only to realize it wasn’t mine! Hahah (Thanks sister for staying calm)
Working out: I did not get to workout as much as I would have liked to this last month or so. Between traveling and feeling awful my body just wasn’t wanting to do anything. Hoping to change this and get back to Orangetheory the remaining of my pregnancy!
Must have items
Coming up, I have a doctors appointment to do the big “glucose test” and our crib set from Milk Street will be in this month! Getting excited to put together the nursery!
Hopefully you all have a great weekend, we are busy getting things done around the house!!
