28 weeks 4 days along! 80 days or less to go! It seems to be going by so fast this time. It feels like just a few days ago I got my first bfp with this pregnancy, and now it's the third trimester and almost the home stretch! I've been feeling alright for the most part. Just a lot of non-pregnancy related stress. Still having the spells with dizziness/lightheadedness, I've fainted a few times (thankfully I have either been sitting or laying down when it happens), little to no appetite most days and then every once in awhile it feels like I can't get enough to eat. Still craving the chewy ice from the gas station, raspberry tea, and omg, I will eat an entire bag of green grapes by myself in one sitting. Mmmmm, grapes! And Valerie is getting really active during the day now, and of course, as soon as I lay down for bed at night. I can hardly make it through the day without a nap again, so during the week while my oldest is at school, I nap when my youngest does. (He's trying to wean down to 1 nap a day instead of 2 now.) During the weekend, I go lay down as soon as my husband gets home from work and nap for an hour so I can sleep at night. At night, I am getting up to go to the bathroom at least 3-4 times, but thankfully I have been able to go straight to sleep afterwards. I also wake up anytime I roll over. It pretty much feels as if my hips are being ripped apart when I do that. I also have to be careful about sitting down and getting up, as I feel like I have zero support in my hips. I can't get down on the floor with my youngest anymore. If I do, I'm stuck as I can't seem to get back up without help. =/
And an update for those of you who followed my pregnancy with my youngest, he is WALKING!! I officially have a full time walker, which is amazing to me. He was born with bilateral clubfoot and we were told not to expect walking until he was 18 months or older. But here he is, 13 months and WALKING! It's great!

 | Comment from Cattsmeow » Posted Sep. 8, 2015 10:52am I drink about 2 gallons of water a day. Lol. Not to mention all the ice I chew on. I have an ob appointment Monday, so I am going to mention it then. |
 | Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Sep. 8, 2015 10:45am Congrats on 29 weeks! Sorry about the dizziness and lightheadness. I'm no expert but maybe drink more water? I was all about grapes in the beginning but not as much now. Glad Valerie is more active. It makes it so exciting! My hips have been starting to hurt at night too. Glad your little man is walking sooner then expected! |
