Only one more week and I’m full-term! It’s crazy how fast these last few weeks are going. I’m finally feeling ready now that the baby’s room is pretty much complete (except for hanging up pictures) and our office is cleaned-out and organized. Those two projects have been looming over my head the past few weeks, so it’s a great feeling to have them done. All of the hard work will pay off when we can park ourselves at the beach next week for some much needed relaxation before baby #2 arrives!
My next prenatal appointment is next Friday when I’m 37 weeks, so I don’t have anything new to report. I’m hoping that baby is still head down, especially since they continue to feel so slow. My sciatica has remained the same, which is good! Even after cleaning house all day yesterday, my lower back and hips are not as sore as they were before!
Cravings: Same as before…salty, savory foods! My newest favorite has been truffle popcorn that my husband and I made the other night. We received a bottle of truffle oil from our good friends for Christmas, so we finally drizzled it on some air-popped popcorn with a sprinkle of sea salt and OMG, it was AMAZING!
Eating: Definitely more hungrier for some reason. I used to eat only a half of a wrap for lunch and this past week, I’ve been hungry for the whole thing!
Emotions: Relieved that the baby’s room and our house projects are done and super excited to relax at the beach next week!
Skin: Continuing to stay mostly clear.
Weight gain: Still 30 pounds, but we will see after next week’s prenatal appointment. I’m hoping I didn’t gain that much more weight!
Workouts: Still doing CrossFit 4 days a week, trying to stay as active as I can, though I’m listening to my body more. I’m definitely getting tired more easily now, so I’m taking more breaks when I need to.
Wedding Ring on or off: Off
Sleep: Frustrating! Waking up due to numb hands and arms is not fun! It’s definitely hard to get comfortable these days!
Questions:
Are you a popcorn fan? If so, how do you like to eat/prepare it?
Have you tried truffle oil?
You look great! Getting so close! Glad to hear the baby’s room is finished but sorry you’re not sleeping good. Hopefully you are able to get some rest before the little one arrives!
Thanks! I’m hoping to get some much needed rest at the beach!
Such a cute belly! I have not tried truffle oil, but I always see it and hear amazing things about it. Its such a relief when the nursery and little projects are done, the littlest projects are the biggest ones to us pregnant ladies right? 🙂 Glad you get to enjoy some relaxing time next week!
You must try truffle oil; it is SO good!
It’s so true that the littlest projects matter the most to us pregnant ladies! 🙂
I hope your little one arrives soon!!
You look so good! I’ve never ever tried truffle anything – but the idea of truffle popcorn is totally intriguing haha. I’m definitely a popcorn loving girl – and I totally weird Jesse out by melting peanut butter and drizzling it over air popped salted popcorn… so so good 😛
I can’t believe you’re still working out four days a week – go super mom!
Ooh, peanut butter melted over popcorn sounds so good! I must try it!
So exciting that you are so close!! Love the picture!
We use truffle oil when we do our raclette competitions – a little goes a LONG way!!
I love popcorn with extra butter – one of the few things that I like with butter!
Thanks! Yes, extra butter on popcorn is the best!
I literally had just said to my husband, ‘I’m just going to read this post, then I’ll make popcorn’. Now I wish we had truffle oil!!! That sounds ridiculously good.
I bet you’re close, if your appetite has increased – maybe your body getting ready for the big event!!
SO excited for you. 🙂 xo
That’s too funny! Yes, you must try the truffle oil!
I’m getting excited, but I hope he or she waits until after we get back from our trip!
Love popcorn…it is probably one of my fav snacks…I like either Kettle Corn or Carmel corn…yummy
I love kettle corn and caramel corn! Just thinking about them is making me hungry!
Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks/desserts! Have you ever tried 479 Popcorn? They have a Chipotle Caramel and Almonds Popcorn that is amazing!
Your workouts are so impressive at almost 37 weeks! Way to go!
I haven’t heard of that popcorn, but it sounds so good!! I’ll have to look for it!
