10 Weeks to go!

I can not believe we are 30 weeks along! Time has flown by. Madison and I had a doctor's appointment on Friday and everything is looking great! She had a heartbeat of 140 and no  surprise is measuring small. Granted Joe and I are only 5'5" and I've only gained 12 pounds so she isn't going to be a huge baby. We are going for an ultrasound to check on her weight and measurements on Tuesday. I was so relieved to hear she is doing great after my gym episode on Sunday!


Bet you want to know what happened on Sunday?  Well.... In the morning I did my yoga video, napped, and went to the gym for my normal 4 mile inclined power walk. Thirty-five minutes in I became dizzy and had a pain in my lower tummy. After getting off the machine and sitting and drinking my water for 15 minutes I felt better and went to find Joe to do some weights. Well when I got home, my lower tummy was having some serious discomforts. Luckily after drinking some more water and taking Tylenol I finally felt better! Nothing like a scare to tell you to slow down. I took a week off the gym and thanks to my doctor's encouragement and reassurance went back today- still hitting my 4 miles and 450 calorie goal but at a slightly slower pace and while drinking a lot more water!. 


This week we are looking forward to the ultrasound and seeing our little busy bee for the last time before being able to hold her! I hope she gains a good amount of weight these last 10 weeks. I keep telling her to slow down and nap instead of being a busy bee all day. But I don't listen so why would I expect her to?  Lately she has been kicking and punching at the same time- My poor belly doesn't know which way it is being pulled!. 


Hopefully we'll have some great ultrasound pictures to share this week!

  1. That would have scared me into slowing down too! I bet you/she will gain some weight these last few weeks. I know I gained faster at the end, but I still didn't gain as much as most people do.

  2. You are truly impressing me with how much exercising you are doing while being pregnant! :) I am curious to know how fast you go on the treadmill. I have started running lately, and one day I hope to be in your shoes...using the treadmill and with child.

    On another note, Madison's nursery is beautiful!
