I can't believe I've only got 10 weeks left (give or take) to go....time is certainly flying. To be honest, it could go even a little faster as far as I'm concerned because between getting no sleep, peeing constantly, and having my back and hips killing me, I'm ready to feel like myself again. I just can't seem to get comfortable anymore and the unusually hot weather has NOT been helping either. On the positive side, our little girl is so active and I love feeling and seeing her move around. She makes me laugh sometimes with all the crazy acrobats she does in there. I wish I could see what exactly she's doing in there sometimes. She's pretty wild, lol! This part I am definitely going to miss. :(

We picked up our crib this last weekend and we also bought a couple dressers that are sooooo cute for the nursery. It's all currently sitting in our living room until we can get the carpet stretched and the walls painted in her room, which we can't paint until we get her bedding so we can match the right colors. So hopefully we'll have everything all set up in a couple weeks, yay!

Got my results from my 3 hr glucose test....and I passed with flying colors! Wooohooo! Total weight gain as of right now is 17 lbs. which the doctor was very impressed and happy with. Especially considering I haven't been able to work out since about the 5th month because of Pubic Symphysis Diastasis...sounds lovely doesn't it, lol. It's a normal part of pregnancy but can be quite painful (yeah, tell me about it!) Here's a brief explanation of what it is,
Pubic Symphysis Diastasis:
During pregnancy your body produces hormones such as Progesterone, Relaxin, and Prolactin. These hormones relax smooth muscles and ligaments, thus calming the contractions of the uterus while the baby grows. It also helps the pelvis to widen so that you can deliver your baby, but when the joints between the left and right pubic bones begin to loosen it can also become quite painful.
Some women will experience pain in the lower pack or to either side when the pubic bone separation happens. Other women will simply feel pain in the pubic bone area. If you can no longer stand on one leg to put your pants on, have trouble separating your legs, or feel pain in your pubic bone, Pubic Symphysis Diastasis my be the culprit.
Once I read the part about not being able to stand on one leg to put pants on, I knew instantly this is what I've been feeling. It's also part of the reason why I'm not sleeping well. They say it goes away usually about a week or two after delivery. It amazes me how much pregnancy hormones can change your entire body. I feel a lot of times like I don't even know my own body anymore, it just seems to react so differently to everything right now. Oh well, it will come to an end soon and I'm sure I'll be a little sad to see it end even with all my complaining. :)
