Symptoms- I took my last Pilates class this week. Some of the movements are finally getting too hard for you and me and we would need to take a private class to modify correctly. Up to this point we have been going to Pilates twice a week and walking with Daddy a few days when the sun comes out. You continue to grow and grow! I can tell just how big you now by breathing, or not being able to breathe! You seem to be taking all my lung space so I can't take a full breath! But you are welcome to take all the space you need to continue to grow, I don't mind sharing! I am getting up more frequently to use the rest room during the night too. A good nights sleep really depends on the night- some nights I sleep like a baby and some nights I lay awake and think about you! I am still feeling wonderful and love being pregnant with you!
Cravings- I don't seem to be hungry often and if I eat a big dinner I am really uncomfortable all night. I have been eating lots of smoothies, both fruit and green smoothies which I look forward to daily! I am still allowing us a little treat a week but am definitely wanting them more often!
Weight Gain- At my Doctor appointment on Thursday, April 26th I gained another 3 pounds for a grand total of 14 pounds. Judging by the size of my belly all that extra weight this week went to you!
Maternity Clothes- I am staying strong with my current wardrobe! I did buy a beautiful pink dress for your Baby Shower!
New Happenings- I have had a few dreams about you this past month. The silliest dream was about you, my belly button, and your hands! I had a dream that you kept sticking your little hands out of my belly button and I would just push them back in. I kept thinking how small they were because they looked like Barbie Doll hands!
You seem to really like my right side- if I lay on my right side, your hands or feet find their way into my right ribs. I can also feel a body part that is pretty constantly on the right side of my abdomen above my belly button. It fits perfectly into the palm of my hand and since the Doctor always finds your heartbeat in my lower abdomen on the left side, I am pretty sure it's your little bottom! I like to pat and rub your little bottom and just imagine what it will be like when you are outside of my tummy. I wonder if this will comfort you when you are crying?
It's hard to believe but only 10 weeks until our eyes will meet. Until then I will continue to soak up every pregnant moment and dream about how wonderful our lives will be with you in the world!
