The baby is growing and so is the belly.....I swear I think it gets bigger each day! :-) I now only fit in to two pairs of scrubs for work and have only maternity clothes to choose from for anything else. Baby girl is kicking a ton and squirming constantly.....mostly in the morning, lunch and after dinner....she must get excited after she eats! :-)
The contractor is coming on Tuesday to finalize our plans for the nursery and then will begin construction the end of June....should only take 1-2 weeks to complete! I can't wait to have it done, so that we can start putting up the crib, painting the dresser and accessorizing! Mom and dad are coming up July 9-12, so hopefully we'll have lots of jobs to share with them that weekend in preparation!
Feeling really well overall.....but I have developed an inguinal hernia that has been sort of a drag the last couple weeks. I went to see the surgeon on Friday who told me that I will have to have surgery post-partum (probably 6 weeks after), but until then they can't do much other than have me wear a hernia belt for activity and tell me to rest a little more so that it doesn't get any larger. It is terribly uncomfortable when unsupported, but the belt seems to help quite a bit at work, so we'll go with it for now. Crazy how he told me that inguinal hernias are only in 1 of 1,000 pregnancies, but many times he sees them in "runners." I can't believe it....who would have thought! Oh well, guess I'll add to the statistics. :-(
Still managing to work out...although pretty much limited to the bike, walking, stretching and very light hand weights at this point....don't want to risk the hernia getting any larger, and to be honest now that the belly is larger it isn't very comfortable to do much else. I may check out the yoga study down the street this weekend and see if prenatal yoga may work for me too. It's so hard not to run and do the things I love so much...but I know my precious little girl will be well worth it! Looking forward to taking her in my BOB stroller and hitting the roads in just a few months! :-)
Noah and I are going to drive down to Chicago the end of June for a quick weekend trip....trying to avoid too much flying, but it will be nice to visit some friends and get away. My best friend Ashley is throwing a little baby shower get together so we'll get a chance to see most people....shall be fun!
Well, I better head up for my evening bike ride....but will write again Tuesday after my OB appointment! :-) and I guess I'm due for a new belly pic too.....
