40 weeks and boy am I feeling it. July 29th I hit my due date! Woot woot! I’m so excited for that but girl am I feeling this. However, looking at my entire pregnancy I really cannot complain. I’ve felt pretty darn good this entire pregnancy. But I’m really trying to stay active this last couple weeks. Walking a lot, eating well, but I can just tell that I’m retaining a lot of water. Not sleeping, my knees really ache, back and sciatica pain, I get waves of nausea and dizzy spells but like I said, all together I feel like I can’t complain too much. But to be totally honest if I hadn’t really intentionally taken care of my body the last few weeks I think I’d be in way worse shape. If I can give any advice (obviously always consult with your Dr.) But try and do yoga daily. I think that’s really helped.
I am scheduled to be induced, so I’m really praying that this week I go into labor on my own. But like I said all together, I’ve had a really good pregnancy, and we already love this little guy so much I’d do this over and over and over again to have this. We are so excited and so thrilled to welcome this little baby any day now. Loose fitted clothing, any and all of it. It’s not the most flattering but girl it’s end of July and this Mama is TOASTY. My Mama Slides from Fawn and Fitch. Those have been a staple this pregnancy, I’ve been loving this time with Matt and Millie. Just enjoying us three has been really really special.
Back pain, not sleeping, nesting, nausea, dizziness, swollen, emotional (Scared one second and so excited the next!) Still the same, I feel like we have everything we NEED. It’s not photo perfect in there yet. But we have what we need and I am thrilled about that!
All over the place, we’re so excited. So so excited. I think the unknowingness of when I’ll go into labor is a little scary (duh.) but knowing when we’ll be induced does help!
