week 28:
i am officially seven months! that sure sounds exciting! i'm definitely starting to bulge out more and baby zenna is moving a lot! the movements have changed from thumps and bumps to more like rolls and stretches. it's been crazy watching my belly sometimes. drake think it looks like her trying to break out, and that's kinda how it feels too! my stomach has gotten a little more sensitive again. too much sugar makes me nauseous and i definitely get that way when i'm tired too. it reminds me of the beginning part of my pregnancy, but on a much nicer scale!
week 29:
this week i had a doctor's appointment and asked him about going to san diego for five days. we talked about the risks and what i could do to prevent serious problems from happening, but basically he said i'm young and healthy and everything looks fine. of course, it only takes one thing to suddenly become high risk, but i promised to take it easy and drake promised to take good care of me! so we're officially still going on our trip and i couldn't be more excited! i'm still feeling great! i'm getting a tiny bit sore after days of bending over a lot, but i think that's normal and expected at this point! i'm still grateful to be feeling good and crossing my fingers that doesn't go away too much!
week 30:
only ten more weeks to go! on one hand, ten seems like such a small number and i get soo excited that it's so close, but on the other hand, two and a half months sounds like such a loooong time to wait for this baby! i'm ready to hold her and i'm getting really jealous of all the babies around me! i'm still mostly comfortable. sitting straight up for a long time does get uncomfortable (like during sacrament meeting!) and my body gets achey after long days, but i'm still counting my blessings! i'm able to work at a daycare with lots of ups and downs and haven't had to cut my hours at all. i feel blessed being able to keep up! zenna is definitely getting bigger and moving more! i feel a lot of movement at the very top of my belly now, and especially on my right side in my ribs. it's not difficult getting to feel her move now! i just can't wait to put a face to her movements and start getting to know her! also, my belly button is poking more and more out there haha. i've never had an outie so it's a little funny to see on myself, but i can't control that and i guess it's time to get used to it!
week 31:
well, i gained four pounds in the last two weeks... and that's how much weight i'd gained in the previous month. so things are escalating. i'm still doing fine in the weight category and dr. cox is actually impressed with this last month's report. he said a lot of women gain way too much weight in july and august because of all the fairs and rodeos haha. i'm definitely eating my fair share of that stuff! it's probably a good thing that eating too much candy or sugary desserts makes me a little sick to my stomach. it's a good way to not gain an excessive amount. baby zenna is still moving a lot and growing bigger, but she's still being mostly nice to mama because i still feel fine. only nine more weeks to go and i think i can do it! of course, i know that the last two months is when you put the most weight on and begin to get really uncomfortable, but i'm just excited to get it started so lil z can get here faster! this was the week of the downey fair and i spent as much time there as i could. heat is not my friend. i definitely find myself feeling like crap when i get too hot, but i was still able to help out and enjoy fair week.i had some feet swelling on a few occasions and my amazing aunts would rub my feet until the swelling went down. i am so very blessed! just nine more weeks to go!
YAY!!!!
