What's new with bebe? She's a chunker! Movin' and a groovin' in there. 4 lbs 3 oz as of yesterday and is built like her daddy.. oh boy! She has so much hair! YAY!

What's new with mama? Just feel like I'm zoning through the days, waiting for her to get here already.

I suck at these. Although at the beginning of this year, I had a whole health plan worked out in a journal and was tracking my Crossfit progress, eating gluten and dairy free.. finally had abs peaking through and then BAM! I got pregnant. So, 2017 goals will have to wait until after LO is born and I plan to get that lifestyle back!

What's new with bebe?
After a week or so of a little less movement it is back to craziness.

What's new with mama?
I am trying to still heal ribs from a respiratory thing I had. I haven't been sleeping that well either. But on the plus side my A1C was at 5.5 a time the beginning and now is at 5.

Rant/Raves:
  I saw a different midwife yesterday and really liked her. But they realized at my appointment that when they did my blood draw last time they did the thyroid and A1C but didn't do the CBC panel that was also supposed to be done.
  I also need to get started on the nursery. We chucked everything in there over Christmas and now it needs to be started.
  I need to also start packing my hospital bag and my bag for Mexico and am trying to figure out what needs to over lap just in case.

 I always start the year eating better and then trail off. DH is probably in the best shape he's been in since we were in high school so after baby I want to start working out. I in general want to make a little me time which will be hard with three kids but I know I need to do it.

Baby is super active - nothing new there!
What's new with mama?
Some of you may have seen in a different thread that I had to go to the hospital to have  contractions monitors (they were every 2-4 minutes for 8+ hours). I was diagnosed with an irritable uterus. So this may happen a lot for the next 13 weeks. 
Rant/Raves:
See above. There’s basically nothing I can do to make this better. Except check into the hospital to get meds if it’s bad enough. 
Questions:
Anyone have suggested maternity belts? The doctor said the right one may lift my belly enough to relieve unnecessary pressure off the uterus. Anyone else have an irritable uterus?
GTKY: Any New Year's Resolutions? Do you believe in them? Have you ever kept one for a whole year? Bah. I’ve come to grips with the fact that I don’t keep New Year’s resolutions. I believe in resolutions made when I have the motivation to keep them. My goal was to workout through this pregnancy. And now a good sneeze could make me contract, so....

What's new with bebe?
He likes to hang out in breech or transverse except when I have a doctor’s appointment, and then he shows off his perfect head down performance. Lol. 

What's new with mama?
My OB’s office is sending me in for monitoring the next time my belly goes hard for an extended period of time. It mostly happens at night and doesn’t seem affected by how much or little I’ve done for the day... and it stays hard for 20-40+. The past two nights I’ve managed to calm it down after a warm bath before I hit my 20-minute-you-must-go-to-L&D deadline. 

Rant/Raves:
I love having MH home for Christmas break and I’m going to be sad when he goes back home next week. He’s been so patient with our two year old and such a big help around the home. 

I’m also extra salty right now and it’s kind of annoying. All these hormones are making me crazy. 

Questions:

GTKY: Any New Year's Resolutions? Do you believe in them? Have you ever kept one for a whole year?

My resolutions for this year are to set aside time for me... to actually take care of myself. It’s been very easy to set aside self care and focus on caring for MH and DS over the past year, especially, and being pregnant has reminded me that it’s important for me to take care of me too. The past two days of having a pedicure, a pregnancy massage, a hair cut and color and a facial have made me feel so much more relaxed, helped me to drop some anxiety and have helped me to feel better than I have in weeks physically. I also want to focus on journaling, improving my photography and doing more yoga.
We are focused really hard in paying off our debt in 2018 and on both of us making wiser choices for our finances and our health. 

Last year my resolution was to show more love and to take a picture everyday with our big camera. And I did follow through.

@StephBrim24 I haven’t used a maternity belt but I’ve been using KT tape on my belly and my hips to help relieve pressure and it works really well for me. The maternity belt that they sell at Motherhood has gotten some good recommendations from my friends though if you don’t want to deal with the tape.

GTKY: Any New Year's Resolutions? Do you believe in them? Have you ever kept one for a whole year? I do a one-word resolution so this year my word is ADAPT. My goal for the year is to run a 5k.
