under construction

No matter what the Doctor says, I can't help weighing myself everyday. It's just something I do. The daily adjustment from one reading to another is appealing to me in some way. Yesterday I wasn't too thrilled to see the scale hit 212, today I was glad to see it at 210.2. Where does 1.8lbs go overnight?

Like I said yesterday I think I was retaining water. Today my feet aren't nearly as swollen as they were yesterday. 

Weight: 210.2

Exercise: 1 mile hike with the dogs. I've decided not to run until I see the doctor tomorrow for my week 39 visit. She will do an internal exam to see how much more I've dilated. 

I suspect the little fella is going to come August 3rd, although with all these changes lately he may come next week! We are ready for him in the sense that we have ALL the stuff you're supposed to have to bring a baby home. The only thing we don't have at this point is a room.

It's still under construction, which in the end works out fine as he will sleep in a bassinet beside me.

Breakfast: 1 low fat string cheese. 1 toasted english muffin with peanut butter and raspberry jam sprinkled with flax seed, green tea.

Lunch: Mixed green salad with raspberries, chicken, parma cheese and light ranch dressing

PM Snack 2 Trader Joes' Maple Leaf cookies (110 calories each) and 1 small snickers bite.

Activities: Nesting. Sweeping, vacuuming, dusting and as always laundry. I really do laundry every day. I can only imagine how much this will increase with the wee one.

Dinner: going out for Mexican with one of our dogs breeders to celebrate her birthday. Easy on the chips.

early start day

Normally I sleep until 8am, then poke around the computer then take the dogs for a hike. Today I was up early and it's already getting hot. At 6:30 am it was 73 outside. I decided to take the dogs early this morning. It was a nice 1.12 mile hike in our canyon.

We only saw two bunnies, no deer, although we left some bread for them along their trail. 

Now it's time for feeding! 

Weight this morning: 212 yikes!! Some part of me cares and another part of me thinks, this pregnancy journey is nearly over and the decline should start shortly there after.

I intentionally cropped my feet out so no one has to see my veiny swollen feet except me.

Now off to Starbucks to get the Sunday coffee for husband and blueberry scone for me! I wonder why I'm gaining weight. I really feel a lot of this recent gain is water retention.
