Well, we’re back from vacation. It was fun, but it’s also kind of nice to be back home. I’m glad I was able to make it through with no complications as far as how I was feeling and how baby was doing.
The kids had a great time and we took tons of pictures! There was a little bit of stress toward the end which made the end of the trip a little more exhausting that planned, but we survived. The flight home was looooooooong. Nine hours on the plane. I was so glad when we finally got home!
I’m anxious to go to my appt next week Wednesday to see how baby is progressing and to find out if I go back in two weeks after that (at 36 wks) and probably every week after that. I’m getting close and it’s exciting! I just checked by ticker today and it said 46 days to go! Wow! That sounds so much shorter that 6-7 weeks for some reason. To me, my belly feels like it’s bigger than previous pregnancies. The dr did say that last time I was measuring about a week ahead. I hope I’m still between on target and a little ahead at my next appt. Baby feels like he or she is growing well, but I’d like some confirmation from the dr. Also, I’m hoping that maybe I’ll get another u/s if I’m still a little ahead. So for the next week, I’m going to try to watch what I eat and make sure what I eat is nutritious for baby. I did a pretty good job of not pigging out on junks on the trip, so I hope I can continue at home. I’m going to the store today and the plan is to stock the house with decent food and snacks and not much junks if any. Of course, it’s still hot here, so ice cream is very tempting. Then again, my tummy is mad at me for eating chocolate covered raisins yesterday, so maybe I’ll be able to refrain. I do not like having an upset tummy and I think all the avoiding junks on the trip just makes eating them now even worse since I’ve been able to minimize junk food intake for a few weeks. Wish me luck at staying away from ice cream and Starbucks and other tempting treats. Once in a while is fine, but every day is what I’m trying to stay away from. Plus I really don’t think I need any more “tissue stores” - I seem to have too much already.
