It’s been a L O N G time since I posted a new What I’m Thinking Wednesday. Today, I’ve got baby on the brain. I was inspired by Chelsea (over at Lovely Indeed) who is also pregnant (great, great blogger btw, check her out!)
Week 29… and here’s what’s going on with me and little man.
EATING is pretty normal. Cravings have lessened and I only rarely get that, “dear goodness give me ______ RIGHT NOW!”. I still want salty things a lot (but doing pretty well with moderation!) and I’ve been pretty good about portions. Not that I’m cutting back, mind you, but rather I forget that there isn’t as much room as there used to be in there. If I’m not careful, I can get pretty uncomfortable, pretty darn quick.
DRINKING good ol’ H2O. As much as I can. My two treats are a half-caf latte from Starbucks (not TOO much caffeine and milk. Calcium, right!?) and the clementine flavor of Izze drinks (no caffeine, no artificial sugar and real juice – and the bubbles make it seem super festive during these warm summer months).
READING Bossypants by Tina Fey. Confession: I’ve been working on it for quite a while. It’s hilarious and got me through a number of nights in the dance studio waiting room. I did get some funny looks though. Likely due to my uncontrolled laughing and the cover of the book. Three words: hairy man arms.
WANTING to find some clothes to get me through the final handful of weeks. I’m a l m o s t there and spending money on clothes that I’ll only need a little while longer is so hard for me. I’m going to take inventory over the holiday weekend and see where the gaps are. Shorts? I’m good. Tanks? Ok. Shirts? Not so much.
SLEEPING somewhat comfortably. Currently using one of my daughter’s pillows to help with the belly (I think it says CUTIE on it! HA!). The Hubbs bought me a body pillow for $10, but it just seems SO BIG and hard to manage (especially in the night when I’m all sleepy and it feels like there is another person in the bed).
WEARING my favorite pair of cropped jeans (borrowed from a friend, thanks Lauren!), a few pairs of shorts that are a good length with a full belly panel, leggings and the occasional dress. Really, whatever works at this point (see above for WANTING).
FEELING like there is just the right amount of time left to get done what needs to be done, but not SO much time that we just want to meet our little guy already. As much as I’m eager to meet him, I’m also loving summer and wanting to cherish these last few months of our sweet family of four.
LOVING staring at our most recent ultrasound pic. They gave us a 3D image of his sweet, sweet face and I’m smitten. His lips. His little nose and eyes. That picture makes my heart want to burst.
So what are YOU thinking about this fine Wednesday? Happy July everyone!
Have a great, great holiday weekend.
