I received my Maternity Parking Pass at work on Tuesday. It officially signifies the start of my 3rd trimester! I also get to park MUCH closer to the building than if I had to park in the regular parking lot - which is really far away from the building. I'm BEYOND thrilled about it too. I've also started to take the elevator more frequently at work as well, especially when I'm carrying my laptop and/or gym bag.
Tuesday or Wednesday I also ran into a freak snowstorm on the way home from work. Here's what the view out of my windshield looked like at one point while I waited at a stop light. Snow like this makes me extremely nervous to drive in (more so because of the other people), especially now that I'm pregnant.
This week I also had a goal of exercising more....and I did go for a nice walk in the sun Monday evening, but Tuesday - Thursday I had such bad back pain and aches that I felt like it was causing some Braxton Hicks and I really felt like I needed to just rest when I got home. By Friday I decided I better start wearing my maternity belt that came with my lot of maternity clothesI bought a while ago. LET ME TELL YOU - that thing is a life saver! All day Friday at work I felt so much better wearing it while sitting all day and walking to meetings, etc. I felt so good by the afternoon that I finally felt like it was time to get on the treadmill like I planned. This isn't the best picture but I took a quick snapshot while I was walking.
Finally, Friday marked the opening of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Ramin and I always watch everything we can when the Olympics roll around. This year is no different. So Saturday morning, while watching skiing and figure skating, I made some Valentine's cards and these cute placards that came from a kit. It was fun to make something because I don't always have the motivation to do it lately.
How far along: 27 weeks, 6 days
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Not sure, I've been trying to be good this week but I'm not sure.
Wedding Ring on?: Wedding ring still fits well...my rand hand ring has had to move from my middle finger to my 4th finger.
Major Symptoms: Extremely vivid dreams all week. Achy hips and back through the week (unless I wear the maternity belt).
Stretch marks: Unfortunately yes.
Sleep: It's been pretty good this week. I need to buy another wrist brace for my left arm becausei it's falling asleep more and more in the night.
Best moment last week: Getting my maternity parking pass!
Movement: Still a lot. I love it so much! One night after waking to go to the bathroom, I laid back in bed and the baby really started to kick up a storm. It wasn't hard and it tickled me quite a bit...I remember giggling as he was kicking and I was still half asleep.
Food cravings/aversions: Nothing
Belly button - in or out? In
Labor signs: No, Braxton Hicks are happening...but those don't count.
What I miss: Nothing
What I am looking forward to: Getting my next glucose test out of the way - coming up on Valentine's Day!
