{8 Months} ::Pregnancy Update::



How far along? 32 Weeks
Overall Emotion last month? Overwhelmed :(  I have been struggling with anxiety a lot this past month. Not over the birth or anything, I am very excited about that. I am feeling overwhelmed to get to the birthing time with how much we have going on. I am working full time, and part time, and Tim is working 2 part time jobs and is just starting his full time job, and Gracelyn being 1 and a half......it has just begun to take a toll on me. I am as excited as ever for our birthing time, as it is quickly approaching! I also just found out I have low thyroid....which may be attributing to my anxiety feelings and high pulse.
Maternity clothes? Of course, some of my size small materinty clothes seem to be shrinking...so I am up the mediums!
Sleep: I am beyond exhausted ALL.THE.TIME (again, I think because of my low thyroid, I am abnormally tired), and I get up about 5 times a night.
Best moment this month: Yet again, seeing my midwife and having our monthly appointments, and seeing God provide various things needed for Avalyn.
Weight Gain: +15lbs
Movement: She is a hardcore mover and groover, much more than Gracelyn ever was! She pretty much lives in my ribs, which is not so fun.
.Food cravings: peanut butter as always
Anything making you queasy or sick: sometimes chicken if it isn't cooked right
Have you started to show yet: growing and growing more and more. I still think I am a lot smaller than I was with G at 8 months.
Wedding rings on or off? still on but getting tighter.
Looking forward to: My maternity/family pictures, going to Wisconsin for a friends wedding and staying at my parents cabin with our best friends, kid free!
One thing I did well this month? Made notecards with quotes and verses on them, protein intake, and stretches
One thing I can work on this month? My anxiety level, enjoying the time alone with G, instead of letting it stress me out, not eating junk food.
Bigger/Smaller than last pregnancy: I think smaller, and just a different shape for sure.
Protein intake this month: Decent, but could be better
How does body & knee feel? Okay, not horrible but not great either.
Book Currently reading: Continued reading/watching positive birth stories, and reading Spirit-Led Parenting, which is a great book, I REALLY love this book!
