February Lovebugs Weekly Check-In

Happy Wednesday Ladies!

 

Hello everyone J

 

You may have noticed I switched our check in day to Wednesday.  I thought it made more sense, since we only do this once a week.  I imagine everyone is busy with not only the holiday preparations, but with ?baby business? to take care of as well.  I hope each of you has a wonderful celebration with your family and friends.

 

QOTD:  As we enter into our last couple of months of pregnancy, do you feel that the 3^rd trimester is the struggle that we were told it would be?  What symptoms are you experiencing?

Well I shall start by saying that YES, 3rd tri is proving to be a struggle and I am grateful that I have all of my big projects out of the way.  I am losing energy daily.  So here is my horrific list of symptoms - these are daily, not just every now and then - these are the ones that bother me, I won't list the easy ones  

Metallic taste in mouth (ever present since days before BFP)

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both hands - every night and every morning

Upper Back Pain

Pelvic ligament/bone pain - mine decided to starten to loosen way too soon - hurts when I walk

Gas - I am belching like a cowboy and tootin' like a machine gun

Right Ear stuffed up for over a week now

Sensitive gums that bleed every time I brush

Difficulty sleeping - effective last night have relocated to the couch

Exhaustion comes quicker than ever before

Thanks for explaining the day change... I thought I was missing it

We are busy, busy, busy with both the holidays and the baby business. I really wish that we were further along because I am falling victim to the pains of the third tri. 

My lower back is really starting to ache and I can't walk for long. DH keeps insisting that I go to the gym and I might just strangle him if he mentions it one more time. I know he means well but if walking is an issue I don't think weights and the elliptical are the answer. Other than back pain and tiring easily I have felt pretty good.

I hope that everyone enjoys their holidays. I probably won't be on much since I will be off of work for the next 11 days!!

I'm ready for Christmas now, just waiting until AFTER the holidays to get my butt in baby gear. I just can't concentrate on it all right now.

I think 3rd tri is totally kicking my butt. I'll copy Kristine's list and add and minus a few things!

Upper Back Pain

Pelvic ligament/bone pain - mine decided to starten to loosen way too soon - hurts when I walk

Gas - I am belching like a cowboy

Sensitive gums that bleed every time I brush

Difficulty sleeping

Exhaustion comes quicker than ever before

Lower Back and Sciatic pain

Shooting vaginal and clitoris pain

LO feels like she's got some serious fingernail and is clawing at my Ute wall.

Rib cage exhaustion, I don't know how to explain this, but Peach said her belly felt tired the other day, my ribs feel tire.

Right side of my ribcage falls asleep... I think it's my boobs/bra causing this, but the funny thing is, Lefty is the bigger boob!

Swollen Ankles

Stuffed nose but dry sinuses

CHAPPED lips!!!!

I think that's it, maybe not, but these are the things that bother me on a daily basis!

QOTD: Yes and no.  I have my moments where I'm really struggling but for the most part, it doesn't seem too bad.  I know it could be worse and probably will get worse.  I'm definitely more tired and achy these days though.

QOTD:  As we enter into our last couple of months of pregnancy, do you feel that the 3^rd trimester is the struggle that we were told it would be?  What symptoms are you experiencing?

Yes, I feel that the 3rd tri is very hard.  I've been tired all the time, every part of my body hurts all the time.  My hips hurt, my lady business hurts, my back hurts, my legs hurt.  You get the idea.  I don't really sleep well at all (except for last night...Thank you Lord!)

I am very thankful for everything i'm going through because it's part of the mommy process, it is hard though.  I never thought i would complain about being pregnant but I can now see why people do it.
