31 Weeks

What's been happening: 

He is now approx 1.7 kilos & 42cm in length. He's just working on that bulking at the mo & he'll find himself running out of room in there very soon. 

As for me, I've been feeling less than ideal... Headaches/heartburn/backaches/exhaustion continue to plague me. Turns out I'm low on iron (something I should have figured out weeks ago) so I'm hoping the new supplements will kick in asap. 

Weight Gain;100 million kgs. That's just a guesstimation though. Seriously though, round two isn't pretty. Particularly for my ass/thighs. I can even feel the extra lard creeping up to my cheeks- the dreaded 'moon face'. I am begging for mercy for the remaining 8 weeks but I don't have high hopes. 

Workouts: It depends on whether going back & forth from the fridge counts? Tricks.

I got in a few last week, & 1 swim at the local pool. They were aiiiight, although I think my mouth gets the most out of the workout as I am constantly yawning. It's embarrassing. I'll count how many times I yawn at the gym next & let you know the numbers. 

Movement: Plenty, he's been getting the hiccups a few times a day now too which is remarkably cute- unless it's past 9pm. And then it is irritating. 

Food Aversions: Not reeeeally, bananas occasionally make me cringe when I eat them by themselves but other than that, I'm down for whatever. 

Food cravings: Pizza, icecream & smoothies

Sleep: Heat wave = hell. Blake = impossible. Invasion of parrots = Oli & I plotting to poison them all. (There is seriously an invasion of parrots in our street, there are hundreds & they squawk in unison at 4:30am. Fuuuuuuucccckkkkkk.)

Miss anything: Being near home at the moment, it would be bliss to drop B off at mums for a couple of hours each week. And Pinot.

Fun/ interesting things for the week;

I went to the chiro last Friday to sort out my aches & creaks. Turns out my neck, lower back & hips are all out so I get to go in for a 3 minute 'crack' twice a week now. It's really rather strange, and slightly scary- but man it feels good afterwards. Before our first session however, she informed me that I should be aware that using these procedures could result in further injury or death. Oh good, sign me up! 

*I made it out alive & less creaky. 

Stretchmarks; Surprisingly not! 

Happy or moody: Moody

Looking forward to: Oli and I have a date night sorted for this Saturday, Mexican & American Hustle, arrrrriba!

Bump update:  

I have surpassed my full term size from round 1 already, this is a big boy;
