bike rides

so today I have started a new habit, hopefully.

after discovering a few new faint stretchies on the tops of my thighs I said enough is enough! I am now starting an excerize routine. I know, now? after all these months? well, at least Im starting. I feel like a fatass, and probably look like one too, so Im done being sick of the way I look.

Theres a loop that goes in a figure 8 type route that Im doing, and today I did one lap. I plan on increasing the amount of laps as time goes on. Of course, when I'm really pregnant I wont be able to/want to do a bunch of tiring laps on my bike, which quite frankly can get dangerous, but I will try to continue this bike routine for the next 12 weeks. everyday. unless its heavily down pouring. which, is quite possible seeing that weve had rainy days all month. anyway. Im eating good, like i have been, but my weight is just ridiculous. I hit 157 today, and at the midwives appt they said i was 159. wtf. so hopefully the scale will either drop, or at least stay the same for a while.. I hope!!

midwives appt

so yesterday was my first appt with the midwives. I met with Susan. She was great. I got a bunch of papers about their practice, and Im just so excited to be working with them! then today I had my GT test.. it wasnt bad at all. it was like a mini bottle of sprite, just not carbonated. I drank it really fast. in a few days ill find out if it came out normal or not. thats it :)

oh and last night noah was moving around so much, it was kinda weird. like he was doing jumping jacks in my belly. as soon as I put my hand on my belly to feel him, he stopped. haha silly boy. <3

colostrum

so i was curious to see if i squeezed my boobs if any milk would come out. and yay! it did! well.. a tiny tiny bit of colostrum did, sooo im excited now, knowing they will work. haha. thats all. :)

27 weeks survey

How far along? 27 weeks! Third Trimester!! woww

Total weight gain/loss: 156. i was doing really good with my weight htis week, actually dropping a bit, but yesterday was a feast so ill make up for it today and probably go for a bike ride or something.
Maternity clothes? nothing new

Stretch marks? same as before. few on boobs on the sides, 2/3 on my lower left butt cheek andd thats it i think
Sleep: sleeps awesome! i just need a pillow between my legs or i cant sleep at all. oh, and ive started the whole get up 3x night thing that everyone talks about.. but its only 1x for me haha

Best moment this week: having everyone at the beach house feel noah move :) seeing that baby on the beach crawling around with his little hat on.. im so excited!
Movement: yep
Food cravings: none. ive been trying to change my diet to see what helps maintain my weight while still giving the baby the best nutrients, so im having a salad, fruits and vegetables a lot.
Gender: little boy
Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? top half out, bottom half flat
What I miss: being in control of my weight. being able to throw on a bathing suit and feel awesome and not having to worry about red ugly stretchies on my butt. and spider veins everywhere else.

What I am looking forward to: losing this weight.. and seeing him of course. i really cant wait to see daddy and him interact, hes going to be so amazing with him.

Milestones: THIRD TRIMESTER!!! THE END IS NEAR! It went way too fast!!!!

27 weeks!!

yayyy! im 27 weeks and 1 day today! thats so crazy...im in my THIRD TRIMESTER!!! ahhhhhh! i cant believe it.

anyway, ive been trying to watch what im eating, and wrk out my arms and go bike riding more, seeing that im gaining weight almost uncontrollably. so that was working for a while. i was down to like 154 at night, which is awesome. but i went to davis park yesterday and they had a HUGE italian dish platter, it was amazing. i didnt have too much, its jsut not the healthiest thing to eat. nut then i went on a 3 mile walk afterwards, which probably burned off a bunch of it. but anyway. i weighed myself this morning and im 156.6 with clothes on. soooo im not doing too bad. i forgot what i was at last week, but i know i didnt go up a tremendous amount like usual.

my belly is getting so nice and round. it really is still tiny and i hope it doesnt blow up like how ive seen some peoples, towards the end of the pregnancy. i know it wil get huge, i just dont want it to get overly huge haha.

my new lotion is coming in the mail today :) its from Earth mama Angel Baby for stretch marks.

I had a dream that i had the baby. it was adorable, so small and wrapped up. i breastfed him (i think it was a him in my dream.. idk) right away and he latched on perfectly and everything was so nice. i really hope my delivery goes smoothly.

jays aunt laurie was telling me her horror stories about her 3 births. her pelvis was too small to fit her babys 15 centemeter head, or something, ugh, and that he just couldnt come out cause he was so big.. so she was so overdue. and there was merconium in the amniotic fluid.. just ughrghjdfhn

i dont need to hear those stories when im 13 weeks away from doing this myself. 13 WEEKS!!!

anyway. ill post a survey now :)
