Once again, here is a comparison picture from my last pregnancy with Luke to this one, #3. I'm thinking it's fairly similar again, only maybe slightly bigger this time around. The surprising thing is, I don't feel that big yet most of the time. Which is actually pretty darn great :)
How I'm Feeling: I'm still feeling really good. I'm surprised that I'm feeling so good at this point, but in a good way. I have had some less than ideal pregnancy symptoms like round ligament pains, pelvic pains, and a TON of heartburn. I'm pretty sure this kid might be our hairiest one yet. I have had heartburn in the morning, heartburn at dinner time and heartburn in the middle of the night. It just comes and goes as it pleases. I've also had a few episodes of braxton hicks contractions already. I'm not digging that either. Nothing at all regular, just every once and awhile.
Sleep: For the most part I have been sleeping ok still. #3 loves to be active in the middle of the night though, so it's always fun to wake up to some of those kicks and jabs. Luke has been waking up in the middle of the night to hang out, which is a whole other story, but when i get woken up in the middle of the night it's been super hard to get back to sleep. Let's just pray that Luke figures things out soon.
Movement: There is TONS of movement. This little one is breech at the moment and LOVES to kick right on my bladder. It's such a weird sensation and I just keep hoping that it'll flip around soon and stop doing that. I really do enjoy feeling all of the movements though. It's just very reassuring.
Food Cravings: I just want food. Period. The only problem is if I eat too much, I get heartburn or some form of indigestion. So I really have to watch how much I'm eating at one time, and just eat smaller portions more often. My cravings definitely switch every moment. It seems like I'm thinking of something, but I can't pin point what that something is. So I just end up eating when I need to eat.
Maternity Clothes: Yup, all maternity now for sure, well besides cardigans and outerwear pieces. I'm already bored with my wardrobe. I feel like I did so well being diverse last time. I think some of it is because I work out at the mine now and nobody cares what I wear, so I don't really try to look as put together. Not such a great way to think. I really do enjoy getting dressed up for work everyday.
What are you looking forward to: I am looking forward to continuing to see how this little one grows, and hopefully a whole lot less heartburn.
Placenta Update: For those of you that read my last Baby Bump story, I talked about how we had to go to a specialist to get the placenta checked out. Well, we went down to Cheyenne to have the doctor from Denver check it out. The ultrasound was really cool, and I'm kind of glad we had the opportunity to have that done just to see everything on a better machine. Overall, the doctor said that we shouldn't worry, and we'll have to do a growth ultrasound later in the 3rd trimester (which will be at 31 weeks). So, we are trying to not worry about anything and just continue on with this wonderful pregnancy. I saw my OB yesterday and baby is growing right on track and had a heart rate of 145. Overall, we are counting our blessings that this is the first thing we've had to deal with in any of our pregnancies. If this is as bad as it's going to get, I think we are pretty darn lucky.
