Week 10 Update

Total weight gain:

Not sure...haven't stood on a scale since my last doc appt. ....

Body changes:

Belly expanding. Skin still not great, but better. Hard nails and good hair.

Sleep: 

Not good at all. My lower back has been bothering me so bad at night! So frustrating, I keep tossing and turning. I can only sleep with a pillow between my legs and if I am on my back, the pillow needs to me placed under my knees. It's not convenient because I tend to move around in bed, making the pillows annoying to move around. When I get back from vacation, I am going to go to acupuncture. I heard that helps for what I have. I am a believer in acupuncture, it certainly helped put me into labor with Maia.

I read that the type of lower back pain I am experiencing only at night, is often caused by....second pregnancy....runners...and bad posture...ding ding ding....

Best moment this week: 

Laughing and giggling with my sweet heart, Maia. She is so funny and cute, I can't get enough of her.

AND

Having an adult lunch date with my loving hubby. He looked so sexy when we met on Lincoln Road. We went to the new taco joint Hua'Hua's and it was sooo good! It was really nice to have some alone time that morning, do some shopping and then meet Brad for lunch.

Gender: 

I'm going with girl...and I think I'm sticking with it LOL

Food Cravings / Aversions: 

Anything salty and sweet.

What I miss:

Taking a bath. I was so jealous of Brad when I smelled the L'Occitane Lavender bath oil I had just picked up for us the other day, lingering in the bath water...aaahhhh I just wanted to jump in!

Symptoms:

Have I mentioned lower back pain at night? ;)

Nothing else really, I've been feeling really good, sometimes I have to remind myself that I am actually pregnant ;)

Movement: 

Too early.

What I am looking forward to:

Vacation.

Milestones: 

Can't think of anything...

Thought of the week: 

I made garlic, lemon parmesan Kale salad for the first time today and it was freaking delicious and healthy! I also received the Pioneer Woman's second cook book that I had ordered. Love that woman. She is funny and witty. I looked through her entire cook book, fascinated by the recipes and all the pictures of her ranch and country living. A girl can dream, right?
