Well, I’m in the home stretch now. Its already 3.5 weeks into the third trimester and its kicking my butt. I’ve been so tired again and feeling HUGE, to say the least. I’ve had some REALLY tough nights filled with heartburn and pains in my back and upper stomach area. I’m the biggest I have ever been in my life and I can’t say I’m feeling a “glow” anymore. I’m just trying not to freak out at the size of my thighs and butt and just remember that within 8 weeks or so our little baby will be here and I can start on the road back to my pre-prego clothes. Cardio hasn’t been happening much lately because it gets me so tired but I know that shouldn’t be an excuse because its really good for me to do. I’ve grown out of most of my maternity size medium pants and now I’m wearing mostly large. Its so depressing. Luckily I gain evenly all over and so far no stretch marks on my belly! yeah! I’ve been really good with putting on creams and lotions (whether they really helps or not, who knows, but at least I’m doing something.)
I’ve been thinking a lot about my after baby program. I have the itch to really get back into awesome shape again. I miss the intense cardio and hard lifting that I used to do.
I’m SOOO happy he’s coming the beginning of the summer and not the end. I would NOT want to be waddling around in the heat all summer so his timing is perfect!
Monday is our next ultrasound and we get to see our baby’s adorable face again. I can’t wait to hear what he weighs now. I’m going to guess it in 4lb range.
Well, time to get ready to enjoy our first day in the 70’s!!! Its about time for some warmth and sunshine!
