Since being back to work from vacation I have had several people tell me that I've "popped out" and am now looking more pregnant. I know I have but still have not gained any weight. The baby seems to using up some of my stored fats and the diet restriction is helping him along. I'm okay with this but know for sure that the end is coming because I am now feeling more pregnant with backaches more frequently, leg cramps in the calves, uncomfortable tightness where my sides and stomach are stretching. I again feel like I've eaten too much but it's the feeling of my belly growing. The baby is very active and I can tell when he's sleeping or turning somersaults.
With the aches and pains comes also some not feeling well myself. I'm having some stomach problems that could be from a few different things: increased hormones from the baby, my IBS rearing it's head from work stress, added effect of getting more pregnant (the stuff people don't really talk about like constipation.), or side effects from my medicine. In any case I feel not so happy and nothing really sounds good to eat. I've been taking as much time as I can to try to sleep through some of it.
Great news from work is I passed my 30 day written warning from said early stress and I'm still working so I am thinking I made the improvements they were hoping to. I also got my doctor's note this week that states I need to take frequent, short breaks to deal with my pregnancy complications.
What's going on next? Well tomorrow Jeremy and I are going crib shopping. We are most likely actually going to place an order online but a friend of ours from work is helping us out! Tomorrow evening we are going to a Medieval village for an authentic feast. It should be a challenge for me but that is how this next week is looking for food.
I'm getting more and more excited as the time ticks away...more next week!
