Best moment this week: Having a 3-day weekend!
Movement: I've been feeling little "flutters" here and there for the past couple of weeks, but there was never a moment when I thought, "Oh, that's DEFINITELY the baby!" Who knows...sometimes I think it's just gas.
Symptoms: Trouble sleeping and backaches.
Symptoms I DON'T have: Nausea and fatigue.
Food cravings: At the moment, McDonald's French fries.

Labor Signs: Not yet. :)
Belly Button in or out?: In.
What I miss: Sleeping on my back or my stomach.

Weekly Wisdom: Don't watch The Food Network before you go to bed.

(Ok, so first my phone crashed, then my laptop crashed...I'm really sorry if this has come through 3 times, but I want you to get the info, lol)
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already, get a Snoogle or another type of wrapping body pillow...best birthday present Cesar has ever gotten me!! Totally helps with sleeping on your side. And, I swear by a chiropractor. I'm convinced that it's the reason why I had such an easy labor, and why I had such little back pain throughout the pregnancy. I saw him every 2 weeks throughout the pregnancy. Obviously, make sure to find one who knows about prenatal adjustments. If you need a referral, we have a great one! OH!! And prenatal massages! :-)
Kasey! Who? I'm seriously considering getting a prenatal massage on my day off...any recommendations? P.S. I'm suuuuper cheap. LOL.

Maureen started it...lol. She and her husband have been going to Dr. Rick for years, and has pretty much gotten the pharmacy staff to all go (minus a few). His adjustment is $55 and an hour massage is $95, not sure what a 30 minute massage costs. Not sure what insurance you have, but he takes PPOs. But, it is soooooo worth it.
Yikes! I have Kaiser...but I just went to Massage Envy today. Can't beat a $50 massage! Hopefully after a few sessions, I'll feel better. :)
