now entering the OMG stage of pregnancy

i’m feeling much better from the flu (which was especially terrible while pregnant), and i’m still getting a handle on my low blood pressure & low iron (which has been making me almost pass out, and absolutely embarass myself, in random public places). it’s hard to breathe properly these days which is annoying but thankfully Regan is still home for another 2 weeks before his new job starts and that helps tremendously.

my back aches alot, but the belly support band does help which is great. i’m back to exercising regularly to keep the aches and pains at bay. i’m grateful that it’s now autumn here, because i cannot stand the heat of that horrible summer.

the bub is doing good though, lots of big kicking to let me know he’s doing just fine after the last few weeks. alot of braxton hicks still (which started at 8 weeks) but nothing to be worried about.

i realise i’ve still got 16 weeks to go and it’s my third baby, but it’s hard to believe i will get bigger than this. i am and feel much bigger than i was the last two pregnancies for sure.

my aim for the next month is to avoid gestational diabetes (i have my test next week) and just make an effort to be more healthy and fit for the last trimester.

here’s to the next 4 weeks! may they be healthier and happier!
