Weight gain!

Nooooooo! Over the last few days I have been 'piling on' the weight! And I am scared! LOL. As of this morning, I am 1.3kgs over starting weight! NOT happy JAN! When I saw the gain on the scales, all I could think was - must start exercising! HA! What a joke - I am exhausted just bending over to pick up toys LOL. Maybe not the best time to start exercising!

Been getting some bad stretching type pains at the front of my belly, above my belly button - it hurts so much, but nothing I do helps. I don't remember feeling it with Charlotte. I think it might be because, in the year before getting pregnant with Charlotte, I lost 20kgs, so when pregnant with her, she just filled out where the fat once was IYKWIM. This time there was no space LOL.

33 weeks today!

I had forgotten about my bad headaches! For a while there I would get a headache everyday, and it would really put a downer on the whole day - but I haven't been having them lately. But what made me think of it - is I have a bad one tonight! LOL

Also felt very exhausted and achey today - maybe I overdid things yesterday? Too much shopping? LOL.

Feel quite huge now - I don't know whether my belly is a lot bigger this time around, or whether I just can't remember how I felt last time LOL - might check out the old blog.

Been getting a few strong BH - they aren't nice - especially if bub is moving at the time! But, nothing regular - maybe I will be lucky this time, and not have the irritable uterus!

Car seat is going in this weekend! And more clearing and cleaning in bub's room, our room, and Charlotte's new room.

Nothing new!

About the only thing I can update on is my weight LOL. Everything else is going well! I hadn't weighed myself for a few days over easter - just forgot, so was dreading getting on yesterday morning - after eating stacks of chocolate! But, still under starting weight! I can't believe it! Then yesterday I ate heaps, weighed myself this morning and lower than the day before! Huh!?! Strange - but loving it. I am wondering where I am losing weight from? I think it is normal to gain about 500g a week from now on? But gee, even if I gained 1kg a week, it would only mean an 8kg gain!

Starting to clear Charlotte's things out of her current room, and setting up her new room. Want to get some baby things out and ready for this bub. Also have to start thinking about packing a bag! With Charlotte I packed heaps of stuff for both of us, and only used a few things - so will be packing very differently this time! And hoping for a shorter Hospital stay too! I stayed 2 nights with Charlotte and that was 2 nights too many hahaha. I have to say though - it was nice just laying in bed all day getting my meals brought to me... now to try and get that treatment at home! *bwahahaha*

32 weeks! Arghhh!

I think it/say it all the time - but boy time is flying! I am starting to panic because I only have 8-10 weeks left, and have SO much to do! Charlotte isn't even in her big girl bed yet, and I want her to be in a good routine before the next bub comes! So trying to get Charlotte's room ready. Have to think about packing some things as well! And clean up Charlotte's old car seat, then install for next bub. The list just goes on and on and on!

Had my 32 week appointment on Thursday. Doc said my GTT level was good, so I asked what it was - he said 5. I'm not sure whether it was 5.something - will look it up in my book. But 5 is excellent - I think anything over 7 they will retest you. Blood pressure was good, I think it was 120/70.

Haven't had a problem with swelling so far.

Have had a few strong BH contractions - even when walking around, which is new. But nothing regular which is great.

I think I felt this bub's hiccups for the first time on Wednesday night! The poor thing was quite disturbed by them!

Thursday morning, I was 100g under my starting weight! I forgot to weigh myself this morning, but think I will see a gain shortly! Eeeek! But still, am happy with the weight gain - or lack of - this pregnancy.

Took a belly pic yesterday - have put in my 27 week photo for comparison:

27 weeks ...... 32 weeks



Feel pretty exhausted by the end of the day now! And belly is starting to get in the way.

Otherwise - all is well, and boringly normal!

30 weeks tomorrow!

Wow - really? 30 weeks? The 10 week countdown is on! Eeeek!

All is well! No major pregnancy complaints.

Getting plenty of strong movements - getting booted when I am doing something bub doesn't like eg. if when lying on my side, I go too far onto my belly, kick kick kick!

GTT - I haven't heard from the doctor, so I presume my BSL was fine? But I will go and see Doc to make sure.

Weight - I still haven't gained any weight! I have gained some of the weight I lost when I was sick, but still not over my pre-preg weight! Woohoo! With my last pregnancy, I had gained 10kgs by 34 weeks. Even if I gain 1kg a week from now on, it will be a reasonable gain for pregnancy.

It's rather 'boring' really - no big news - everything seems to be going smoothly!
