29 weeks! Third Trimester :D



Have you started to show yet? Yep. I definitely look pregnant now 😅
Total weight gain/loss: Not sure. I have my OB appointment later today so I will know then. I would guess upward of 20lbs now.
Food cravings: Always carbs. I nearly failed my glucose test last week, so I am supposed to keep away from carbs and refined sugars as much as possible. Anyone who knows me, knows this is not a simple task. I've made a conscious effort to eat as many fruits as possible whenever I'm craving sweets or carbs.  I am struggling but it's worth having a healthy pregnancy for another 10.5 weeks. (!!!)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! Luckily this isn't an issue for me this time around. 
Miss Anything? Being able to do as much as I usually do in a day, without getting really sore or burnt out. If I try to do my normal level of activity in a day, I feel it at 8pm and the next morning. Thank goodness for heating pads!
Mood: Good! We had a really nice Father's day with the Stanton parents, so I'm still feeling good about that. We got a new fence put up in the backyard and had absolutely perfect weather all weekend. 
Sleep: It's better. I'm still waking up around 4 to pee, and am still tired when I wake up around 6. I've been making an effort to fall asleep before 11 though, so I'm not SO exhausted. 
Best moment this week: Getting a new laptop! My old one  was starting to separate in the corners, and certain components stopped working. It was time, for sure. 
Annoyances: Still my allergies. But I found that Zyrtec works better than Claritin, so I've been getting some relief.
Maternity clothes? Definitely. I just picked up some new shorts from Target, because of the hot weather we've been having.  
Looking forward to:  Nothing really at the moment! We have a few weeks with nothing planned, which is kind of nice. We're always so busy, so a little downtime is good 😀

27-28 weeks!



Have you started to show yet? Definitely. Feeling like I am starting to get bigger by the day!
Total weight gain/loss: 18lbs at my doctor appointment last week. I'm hoping to keep the weight off this next trimester, but I know this is when bodies start to pack it on. So just going to try and be as healthy as I can. 
Food cravings: Nothing in particular. I am craving sweets like crazy, so I'm trying to have fruit instead of cookies 😅
Anything making you queasy or sick: My glucose test! I had it yesterday, and it really messes with your appetite and mood for the day. That much sugar at 8am does not feel great!
Miss Anything? Sleeping well. I have been waking at least 3 times a night to pee or shift myself or get comfortable. 
Mood: Annoyed! My allergies are absolutely KILLING me. I can't seem to find relief. I got the green light from my OB to take some Claritin, so we shall see how that helps. 
Sleep: I am falling asleep fine, I'm just waking up 2-3 times each night. I pulled out the pregnancy pillow, because I kept rolling onto my back when I'm supposed to sleep on my side. 
Best moment this week: Managed to take Freyja and Sean on a walk together! Freyja is getting SO much better at walking, and I just needed to try it with Sean in the stroller. She actually did pretty well!  
Annoyances: My allergies 😒
Maternity clothes? Yes! It's pretty much all I wear. I can still wear some pre-maternity tee shirts, as long as they are on the longer side.
Looking forward to: The in-laws are coming to visit this weekend, and are going to help us fix the fence falling down between our yard and our neighbor's. It is supposed to rain but hopefully it won't be too bad when we all need to be outside!
