I am 34 weeks pregnant and this past week I think I grew exponentially. The little guy feels like bowling ball on my bladder. Sleep at night has been interrupted with calf cramps, trips to the bathroom, uncomfortable positions... I just want to sleep on my belly again, and periods of laying wide awake and unable to go back to sleep. I wake up and my brain just starts turning. It is amazing how the body prepares you for what is to come.
In my moments of sleepless nights, I think about pretty random things. Why does the mind do this? I plan trips, make grocery lists, think through the next days activities, write workouts and visualize what I will be doing 2 months from now.. random.
Thought #1: Surge- LOVE IT and miss it!
I am looking forward to buying Chocolate Surge again. I love this stuff. A tough workout makes it worth all the effort when you sip this chocolately yumminess. I do believe when you are following a regimented diet this stuff can taste like dessert!
Thought #2: RumbleRoller- need to get one of these!
I have some extremely tight hip flexors, glutes and hips. Pregnancy takes an incredible toll on a body and I have acquired some awkward movement patterns and body positions. I know I have been accommodating my growing belly by arching my back more and sitting more than usual. I am feeling it and I know this tool will 'dig in' like a massage would and help me greatly!
Thought #3: Need a backup plan!
I don't want to jinx anything but... if the Ducks keep playing like they are, I am seeing a repeat of 5 years ago. The Ducks were in the playoffs and I was worried Sean wouldn't be around for the birth of our child. Well, that could very well happen again if they keep at it! Time to start a little bit of planning! Will was born at 36 1/2 weeks... not too long from now. I welcome this 'problem' and know everything will workout :), right?!
Time is a tickin'! Yay!!
