Symptoms- The weather has been really pretty here the last month so Daddy and I have been taking Lola on lots of hikes and walks. All 3 of us look forward to our time outside- Lola to play and hunt, daddy and me to be in nature getting some exercise. I have to admit going up all those steep hills has been difficult since I can't take a full breath! I have to stop often to get a drink of water and fill my lungs with as much air as will fit. Daddy has a new nick name for me... Mini Tank! I am sleeping much better and even though I get up to use the restroom twice a night I always fall right back to sleep. Turning over in bed has become more of a challenge with you on top of my tummy- a simple roll is now a three point turn! I am continuously surprised by the energy I have and just how wonderful I feel. I am also shocked when I catch a glimpse of my profile- I never imagined my tummy could be so big!
Cravings- Our meals are still very healthy, as I am trying to pack as many vitamins and nutrients into your developing body as possible! I am getting more and more lax on sweet treats...daddy and I have ice cream about once a week but sometimes we get it twice! On Cinco de Mayo we ate Frozen Yogurt twice in ONE day!! I was never a sweet lover but being pregnant with you sure has turned me into one.
Weight Gain- At my doctors appointment on Tuesday, May 29th I gained another 3 pounds for a total of 17 pounds.
Maternity Clothes- I bought two new super comfy Maxi Dresses from Old Navy to add to my small maternity clothes collection. I am still able to wear my pants with the belly band strapped around you and have been able to be creative with my pre-pregnancy tops!
New Happenings- I woke up Tuesday, May 22nd with a new sensation. I felt lots of pressure in my pelvic region. Aunt Acacia asked me if I was able to breath easier or take more air into my lungs. I realized I could! She said you must have moved down some which was causing the pressure. She must have been right because since that day the number of times I use the restroom at night has increased to 3 and during the day it sometimes feels like you are karate kicking my bladder!
I still find myself counting the days until you get here and just can't wait to hold your precious body in my arms! I love you!!
