Good! Actually had energy for workouts two days in a row! They are getting shorter and lighter, but I think it has been at least a month since I managed to go back to back days..
The heartburn is pretty annoying though. I am trying not to take too many things for it, so sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with it. It's not fun, but I've found Gaviscon helps me.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
3.5 weeks of work left! Not that anyone is counting.. I love my job, but in a way the countdown is for the baby (I would pretty much be ecstatic if she decided to arrive shortly after I am done work! I will be 38 weeks by then)
How are you feeling? It varies day by day. Heartburn is a near constant companion these days and it's definitely getting harder to move, bend over, breathe, exist. I'm getting a lot more pelvic/upper thigh/butt pain and putting on socks is an ordeal. Overall, though, not too shabby.
Rants/Raves/Dear Diary/Questions? I'm not looking forward to my Group B test in a couple weeks. Not too thrilled with my bum being swabbed. I have maternity photos this weekend and I'm hoping that they will be fun, I won't be too cold, and we'll get some good photos out of it.
GTKY: Bucket List My biggest bucket list item was to have children so....check! I also really want to ride on an elephant.
@ab_canada Way to go with the working out! That's awesome! I've really been slacking lately, so I need to get back on it. Maternity leave is so close - I fully support your countdown and baby coming around 38 weeks!
@binxybaby Have fun at your maternity shoot! I was worried about ours, but the photographer was super sweet and made it really fun. And FX the weather cooperates!
How far along are you? 34 weeks 4 days. 5.5 weeks to go...
How are you feeling? Yep, shoes and socks are rough to get on these days! And I find getting in and out of the car a chore. But overall, I've been feeling pretty good. Acid reflux is still around, but it hasn't been as bad lately. And I seem to be sleeping better, so hooray!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Super excited for my growth scan and NST tomorrow! Can't wait to see baby bean and get an idea of how big he is (and what position he's in). I had my baby shower on Sunday and it was really nice! I was surprised, but most of my favorite gifts were things that didn't come from the registry. Some of the hand-made/custom stuff is so adorable and it really shows that people put some thought/work behind their gifts. Those are the things we'll treasure for a long time!

@mag1cbeli3ver Hooray for seeing little humans tomorrow! I saw mine last week because I got scared and went to the hospital, but it was under stressful circumstances, so I didn't pay much attention other than listening for "everything looks okay". @binxybaby@mag1cbeli3ver I hear you on the sock/shoes. Also, putting on underwear. I feel like an old woman.
Okay. Definitely at the point of being over it though. My other 2 have been sick back and forth for 2 weeks so I've had minimal sleep and how have a sinus infection.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Sciatica pain is the worst! I rarely got.it with the other 2 but it is a constant this go round.
@binxybaby I tested positive for group B with a urine test at the beginning of the pregnancy so I get to forgo the swab this time and they will just plan on treating me at delivery. So glad because I hate the swab lol
