33 Weeks

Total weight gain?

22 pounds still. No weight gain since my last appointment 2 weeks ago. Which makes sense because I 'gained' a lot those two weeks prior due to constipation. TMI, I know.

Sleep
This week has officially marked sleeping as a chore. I can't nap, and I'm always turning to get cozy at night. Not cool, so not cool. Also, I have indigestion at all times of the day, even if I haven't eaten or drank anything in hours. That makes sleeping that much more fun.

Movement

She continues to move more and more. I also feel little hiccups a lot more now as well.

I'm impressed I don't look too bad for being this far along. No swollen ankles and my legs look healthy. I can tell I haven't gained weight in my face either. With Austin, this was about the time I started picking up lots of water retention everywhere in my body. Hoping to keep that away this go-round.

Exercise

I have been killing it on staying consistent with my runs. I even ran and walked a ton at the beach on vacation last week. People told me not to exercise on vacation.  I told them I'm going to because 1) it gives me energy, 2) keeps me & the baby healthy, 3) allows me to eat more of what I want, and that 4) I will swell up like a balloon if I don't get to exercise. I even got to run once without the stroller (first time without since before Austin was born-over 2 years!) I broke my shoes on Monday and ordered new ones that will be here Thursday.  I can't wait! I'm kind of proud that I worked so hard that I need new running shoes while pregnant!
I've been focusing a lot more on my squats and lunges recently too.
Since about 22 weeks, I've been wearing a support belt when I run which makes all the difference. Every preggo runner needs one.

As of today, these are my miles below, plus 3 more miles in the 3rd trimester column. I'm totally going to beat my miles from last trimester. I started late in the 2nd trimester anyway, so I expected to beat them.

Austin's 2 year checkup went perfectly. He's on track with his growth curve and didn't even flinch when they pricked his finger to check his hemoglobin level. What a stud.
