26 weeks pregnancy update

I've made it to 26 weeks! I don't go to the doctor again until next week. I think I'm supposed to do the diabetes test next week but they never gave me the orange drink so I'm not going to worry about it. I haven't had diabetes before so I doubt I have it this time. I think my last pregnancy I didn't even drink the juice when I had the test done because the stuff tastes like sugared up orange soda. So, nasty!!

Weight Gain: 30.6 lbs! It just keeps coming! It seems the more I walk, the more weight I gain. I think I should back off on the walking. Maybe try to limit to 3 miles a day. I think it makes me hungrier and then I eat too much when I'm walking a lot.

Exercise: Last week I walked 31.9 miles! I did a 9.4 mile walk on Saturday at White Rock Lake. It took 3.5 hours! Thankfully, I had my friend Misty with me to help pass the time. The sunshine is nice also and Jamyson loves all the people on the trail.  When I'm walking, if I feel that I can't go any further, I focus on making it a little longer because I'm hoping this will help me get thru contractions without medication. I'm not opposed to the epidural I'm just very afraid that it would lead to more interventions and with 2 C-sections prior, I know my doctor will be looking for any reason to have another one.

Cravings/Diet: Still eating string cheese, frozen grapes, chocolate chip cookie dough ice-cream (reminder to stop buying that)! I also found some light mayo that's only 35 calories per tablespoon so I've been making tuna and egg salad. I normally love that anyways when I'm not pregnant but the mayo tastes so good pregnant! I've enjoyed toasted bread with either tuna or egg salad as a sandwich.

Morning Sickness:Still no more sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night.

Sleep: Been able to take naps during the day this week. Good naps, about an hour long.

 Concerns: I've been listening to podcasts on natural births to help give me ideas of how to get through contractions without an epidural. I think the longer I can postpone and epidural, the better change I have for a VBAC. I occasionally have braxton hicks contractions, but nothing serious. Sometimes if I haven't drank enough fluid, I will feel them but usually in the afternoon and only maybe 2 or 3 extremely irregular.

Shopping: I went to a consignment shop and bought some newborn onesies-they look so tiny!! I also bought some 0-3 month pajamas because for some reason I didn't keep any of Jamyson's 0-3 month clothes. I think they must've had either poop or spit up stains and that's why I donated them?
I love kickee pants so I have registered for some of those on my baby registry.

That's all for now

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

Our Experience with Covid 19

I'm writing to share our experience with Covid-19. With the reopening of the lockdown, many new cases are flooding the world. My husband is the Regional Sales Manager at Century 21 Judge Fite in Rockwall. He has been in real estate for the past seven years. He is an amazing realtor and even better manager. I am very proud of him and I stand behind him no matter what. Saturday July 5th is started feeling ill after a work out. He had recently joined Legends Fit in Rockwall and started a program where he had to lose 25lbs or 6.9% body fat in 6 weeks and he would get a free membership for the year. After 3 weeks and a very strict diet and workout, he had lost close to 20 lbs and 5.3% body fat. He started running a fever Saturday afternoon and felt very fatigued. No real respiratory symptoms and his pulse ox never dropped below 98 percent. His heart rate was double his resting heart rate. He tested on Monday morning and received word Tuesday around 5:30pm that he was pos...

Ashton's Birth Story-VBAC

I started this last pregnancy journey with the goal of finishing my second VBAC. Here's the story (So that I never forget any of my children's birth, I have documented each one's stories)... Around 4pm on Thursday August 1, 2019, I went into the hospital. I was having irregular contractions, dilated to 2 cm and 50% effaced. I was 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  Here is a photo: I am almost 6 feet tall and had gained nearly 50 lbs. Most of which I gained in the first and second trimester. I continued to workout this whole pregnancy in hopes that my body would bounce back quicker. Time will tell. So, my doctor came in around 5:30pm and said he was going to do the foley cervical dilation balloon again since that worked with Elizabeth. So, they inserted the foley balloon which is extremely painful because I have a tilted cervix which apparently hides behind my spine. He tried to do it with a tool and ended up having to do it manually with his hands.  Then, I ...
