This was a big week in our family for birthdays. First of all, Baby O's Grandma Ool had a big birthday on Monday and while we were not there to celebrate, I am sure her boys took good care of her. Next up was my Grandma. I was lucky enough to have my Momma and Grandma come down for a visit this weekend and we celebrated Grandma's birthday with cupcakes, Chinese food and Crystal Bridges.
We also fit in a little shopping. My mom was pretty excited to buy me some maternity clothes... I was less enthused. The thought of getting so huge I will require these clothes made the experience a little less enticing to me. In the end we settled on a great outfit we both loved and a few other essentials. Thanks Mom!
In baby world, it was a pretty quiet week. We are now in WK 14 and it feels like the time has flown by. The only thing of note this week is a bit of an injury. I hate even admitting it because I am tired of people, mainly men, telling me what I should and shouldn't do as a pregnant woman, especially when it comes to my workouts. Anyone who knows me knows that I Crossfit. I love the workout, I love the community, and I love that I have kept up my workouts even while pregnant. I avidly believe this is why I felt so good through my first trimester. Unfortunately, as my body becomes home for our new little person, I may have to take it a bit easier than I would like. Activities that feel completely normal may or may not have caused pulled muscles that put me out of the gym for a week. A word of warning. After some rest... and a called in prescription from the doc, I am ready to head back tomorrow - even if I plan on taking it a little slower than I have been.
We have three more weeks until the next appointment and I am counting down the days until our next confirmation that Baby O is happy and healthy in there. In the mean time, I am looking forward to spending next weekend with some old friends before heading to Denver for work again. That is about all the excitement we can take for now... in fact, Kevin has now asked me three times when dinner will be ready so I guess I will answer the FAQ and then get to the mashed potatoes. :)
Are you feeling sick?: Feeling great.
Are you sleeping?: Much better after a little something from the doctor to help my pulled muscle.
What was the best moment this week?: Once we found an outfit that I can love now, or three months from now, I really enjoyed clothes shopping with my mom. It was really sweet that she was so excited to buy me a special outfit.
Do you miss anything?: I miss a cold beer after a long week... in a bad way!
Any cravings yet?: Still doughnuts but I am trying to stay away.
Do you want to know if Baby O is a boy or a girl?: Only 5 or 6 more weeks until the big reveal.
Any other symptoms?: Still good.
Mood lately?: Ok... unless Kevin asks me about dinner again. Then I may lose it. HA!
What are you looking forward to?: I am just ready to hold the baby. I need something to snuggle.
Baby Bump?: Bigger by the day.
Need any maternity clothes?: Proud new owner of some staples including some camisoles, cardigans and an awesome little contraption that will help me stay in my regular pants vs. the spandexy maternity type.
Have a good week everyone!
