I'm finally starting to get energy back. Just in time to start losing it in another few weeks right? Heart burn eased off again, which is nice.
But now it's the cravings. CHOCOLATE. I want all the chocolate things. Unless, it's spicy. I can't get enough Buffalo flavor, and right now, I'm watching someone eating in Mexico, and realizing how much I really want a good Pico de Gallo. So much with the spicy!!!!
I feel really good for the most part - I have a surprising amount of energy (I've had a VERY busy two weeks between two crazy elaborate and long photo shoots for work, cooking a full Thanksgiving meal for 5, decorating for Christmas, etc.) but then I also have been crashing so hard. When I have a long day on my feet, my feet are so swollen and by the end of the day, my lower back hurts so badly I can hardly walk. DH has to literally help me walk through the house and get up and down off the toilet (good practice for post-birth?? haha). I feel like I am pretty much ALWAYS starving!! Belly is beginning to get in the way a bit (harder to put on shoes, get off the couch, etc.). I'm also starting to see some stretch marks on my hip area.
I splurged on some beauty products from Hatch - belly oil (for stretch marks), "down girl" lotion that supposedly calms swelling in your feet and belly masks haha. I did a ton of Xmas shopping for others on Black Friday/Cyber Monday so I figured I deserved a little treat too
