So, here we are...a week from being halfway done baking this little nugget! I can't believe it. Everything is going by so fast, but slow at the same time. This week has been a little hectic since it was mine and my husband's last week of work (remember, we work at the same place). I have been looking forward to Thursday for a while now. Anywho, I've been packing and supervising field day in the hot sun and everything else under the sun to close out the year and to prepare for the new school year.
Some changes that I'm feeling are my hardened uterus area and a little more rounding of my stomach. I also have some pains that are getting a little more apparent this week. AJ has been really supportive and helping with massaging my pains. I told the doctor about this and she said that there is a possibility of sciatica with my uterus getting bigger. We also heard the baby's heartbeat and it was in the 150s.
One thing that I have noticed is that I feel like I'm losing hair...especially in my eyebrows. I don't know what's going on but I have like a bald spot in my left one. Looking into getting some castor oil to help that out!
On a high note, I went to the Beyonce concert on Saturday. I'm not a fan, but I do listen to her music. She did a wonderful job and I enjoyed it. What I didn't enjoy though is the amount of people going to the train and the amount of pushing that was going on....but that's for a different time, different day! I think Baby B enjoyed the music too because I could feel a little movement going on in there :)
Here is my survey for the week:
