I'll post my up to date weekly photos soon but until then, here are a few things to report...
Good stuff:
- Reid is moving around like a champ! He has had the hiccups a lot lately so I believe he is practicing his swallowing.
- Reid is strong! He can pack a punch!
- I have an ultrasound coming up on Monday. Since being off Lovenox, my sonograms are fewer and fewer (just a regular 'ole pregnant lady now) but we have one on Monday. Yay, I can't wait to see little, big Reid again.
- Cravings: OJ, chocolate, caffeine and spicy food.
- Weight: maybe that should be under ailments...
Ailments:
- Calf cramps at night.
- Nighly cramps that run from my stomach to my knees. I think it is a circulatory issue because when I stretch they usually subside in 20 minutes or so. Doesn't help with sleep, though.
- Smooshed bladder and kinked pee tube (sorry, TMI). It just means that when I stand up I feel like I have to pee. When I sit, nothing will come out. The frequent peeing makes trips to Wal-Mart not too fun. I'm peeing about 4x per hour. Unfortunately it won't resolve until after Reid is born.
- Due to the bladder problems, no juice, chocolate, caffeine or spicy food. :)
- I've never been this fatigued in my life!
- I'm having a couple of nosebleeds a day. Thank goodness I'm not on Lovenox because they are manageable and stop within a reasonable amount of time.
Other:
- Nursery is done!
- Relishing in this time with Reid being so close, comfortable and preparing for life outside the tummy!
So glad you're "relishing". You'll be glad you did.
