Well I’m 34 weeks today, my growth scan last week estimated the baby to be about 4lb 1. But even that buts baby on the 10th percentile which is the low end of average baby size so I think all in all I’m looking at a 6/7lb baby again! So I don’t know why it’s so uncomfortable this time!
I can see my tummy moving from the outside now, which is pretty cool lol my partner finds it creepy haha
Anyway I’ve also just been sent to sleep on the sofa again! Acid reflux making me cough!
It’s like 3.45am lol!! All I’ve got now is the rabbit banging his feet in his cage! Yay for me!
Fortunately milk has helped with the reflux!
Remember, I am (and was when I was pregnant, 5'11" tall -- so I always had big babies! Our daughter was 8lb, 8oz! So you don't have nearly as much room for that little girl in your tummy like I did! I always loved it when I could see them moving from the outside. I still remember when I could clearly make out the little feet - really awesome! But 3:45 am!!! BEX --- get some sleep!!!!!!! I feel for you, and hope that you won't read this till morning -- meaning you are getting some sleep! Have you tried eating some saltine crackers? Hope you feel better. Hugs, my friend3 -

Thank you for the good thoughts but it was horrible. I am going to go beg for my old job back!
Just kidding. It was a typical new job day, except the person I report to had jury duty. She send me an email with my schedule for the day the night before. I only had a couple hours unstructured time. I used that to test a bunch of laptops looking for a temporary one until my new set up comes. Found three good and one to go back for re-imaging. So I accomplished something - even if it was totally not in my job area. I think this will be terrific. It looks like I will have two remote teams to manage, in California and New York. I am in Florida. That will be a new thing for me.
My poor DIL tested positive for the A flu. I was able to help her Monday and Tuesday. Poor dear. The baby seems to be in the clear.
My JFT Tuesday was
Get to bed by 10:30 so I will be well rested on Wednesday - the first day of my new job.
I managed to leave my old job about 10:30 on Tuesday. So not a win.
No goals were set for today. I will set up tomorrow's in the morning.5 -

Wins of yesterday:
Continued to resist rice crispy treats still a few steps away from my desk.
When I got to the gym and my (small) gym had both recumbent bikes in use I left and then after going home, eating dinner, going to the store because we were out of cat food, actually went back to the gym and in this bitter cold weather.
I did buy a little bit of chocolate at the store but only ate half of it when I got back from the gym.
Probably with a little snacking during making dinner and the chocolate I went over my calories but not by much.
JFT:
1. Log all food; stay under calorie goal for the day
2. Do weights and cardio at the gym on the way home
3. Finish grocery list and put in online order to be picked up tomorrow
4. Attend webinar at work
Happy Thursday.7 -

I'm about to start day 21... Losing a little bit of motivation though, don't agree with quite everything she says (though that might be my unhelpful thoughts talking....)2 -

I think you can set fiber as one of your micros - then it shows up in your diary. At least it does for me when I'm on Chrome?2 -

Usually don't go to Settings, so didn't think of that. Done! Fiber now easily tracked. Thanks for the tip @clicketykeys!1 -
I only have 5 minutes before my next meeting. This has been a busy week! I love it! I'm learning so much in this new job!
Yesterday I met with my Cardiologist for my annual check up. I had damage to my heart from one of the chemo medications i was on, which is now reversed and I'm good again. But I still have to follow up yearly and take a few pills for it. anyway, I'm heavier than I have ever been, aside from pregnancy. She was really happy to hear I transitioned to a new job that is less stressful because she said stress is so bad for your heart, and your whole self really. And she said to hop on my treadmill more often to start getting some weight off. I felt embarrassed but happy at the same time.
I will hop on later to read up on everyone and see how you're doing!
Just for Thursday:- JOURNAL EVERY BITE
- < 29 g sugar
- < 75 g carbs
- <HYDRATE with WATER
- Activity. Stay on treadmill longer than last time. Even a minute is more.
- Lift hand weights. 10 reps each set
- Be grateful. Be patient. Be kind even to myself.
- Read in my different books I have going and journal in gratitude journal.
- Listen to Optimal Living Daily and Optimal Health Daily podcasts.
- Take a real lunch today and leave the building. Get some fresh air.
- Prep for tomorrow, tonight.
- Be in bed by 9:00 pm and sleeping at 10.
- Get up without hitting snooze!!!
Have a great day!4 -
Soooo, I haven't been on this board long enough for you to notice my absence the last *cough* four days. It. Was. Bad. And the scale this morning showed it.
So, I'm back. Much chagrined.
JFT:
Log everything
stay green in calories and carbs (under 30?)
80 oz water
swim 1000 yards--challenge bc it's freaking cold out. Hard to convince myself to get in water when it's so cold outside. Although, the hot tub or steam is certainly an incentive...
Tonight is crochet/knitting group at church. I'm done with my last crochet project and want to try to learn to knit. again.
Aha!
I knew someone was missing I just couldn’t think who lol it’s definitely been quieter the last few days!!
And now I know it’s you I’ll be watching hahahah
You should ask @joan6630 what I’m like with her haha she can’t get away with nothing!!
It’s good you came back though
What crochet project have you just finished ?
HA!! that's what everyone says when i'm gone from somewhere. I just finished my husband's KC royals hat, along with a peppa pig hat and baby groot for christmas presents. This is the last time i'm going to attempt knitting. I've tried before and not been able to get the knack. So if i can't get it this time, I will accept that knitting is not my thing and go cheerfully back to crochet.
YouTube knitting projects! I learnt ALL my crochet from YouTube. And now if I get a pattern and I’m like wtf is a hdc I just YouTube it and then I know and I can carry on lol!
Once I’ve “mastered” crochet, I’m gonna do knittingMy stomach has been so sore today, like my actual stomach, anything I eat or drink (even water) makes it hurt for a little bit after as soon as if reached it, it feels very tender and sensitive.
Pretty sure it's not baby-related but was wondering if anyone has had this before (it's possible I've ate something dodgy yesterday but I've not felt sick at all but do feel "off") and what can i do to soothe it? I tried peppermint tea this morning but it didnt really help, like I said even water makes it hurt?
The days nearly over here but any advice is welcomed!
I would check with the dr. Better to be safe at this stage in your pregnancy.
Yeah I think you’re right, now I’m thinking it could be the baby because all my organs are basically crushed now lol!
Going to go on Friday I think..
When i had a stomach ache with my first ( and second, but that's not my point) it turned out i had preemclampsia and HELLP syndrome. Kristian was born at 33 weeks and we both nearly died. Your body hurting is telling you something, don't wait.
Haha nice! Just scare the €rap out of me why don’t you lol! Sounds scary though, so far all my bloods and urine samples have been fine, I have midwife appointments and scans next week too.
I’m meant to be going tomorrow to see a consultant about low thyroid results but I’m not walking for an hour for then to wait an hour to then be told to “take more thyroxine” they must think I have “mug” written on my forehead!
I’m going to get them to call me instead and discuss it over the phone. They only accuse me of not taking my meds’ anyway. I’ve not got on with my hospital very much this pregnancy lol!
It will have to be Friday, I’m too busy tomorrow. Got a breastfeeding support group, nursery drop off and collection and got to fill in some very important health benefit forms with my partner!
And we’ve only got 62 miles left in the car and no spare money for petrol til next week! So I’ve got to walk lol!
But I promise I’ll take your advice and ring first thing Friday morning x
Just be careful, love.3 -
