Here I am with 8 weeks to go. I am REALLY struggling today, the fatigue has come back big time and I get short spells where I can do stuff and then I’m pretty much useless! Nausea too, again just in the afternoons like the first tri. I threw up the other morning too.
Overall I think my pregnancy thus far has been pretty text book. Morning sickness from week 6-14, then a nice cruisy patch of about 9 weeks in the 2nd tri before my feet started to become really sore. As it is now I’ve pretty much given up walking for exercise as it just makes them sore for the rest of the day.
Third tri and I’m getting some swelling of the feet and ankles, and now some annoying carpal tunnel which affects me a bit in the morning but by arvo it’s fine. I have had virtually no back ache, leg cramps or heartburn thus far.
Can you believe I only just scraped in for my glucose tolerance test?! So was very close to being diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. Seems unfair considering I eat rather well and am active (well not so active now)!
Yeah so I have given up the walking and am just doing pilates occasionally, that’s about all I am doing! That combined with walking up and down stairs to my office, jobs around the house and in town, is enough at the moment with my current energy levels!
I have a couple of deadlines I need to get done (supposed to be today) but my brain space has limited capacity! It will have to wait until tomorrow.
Oh we finally got our cot and change table after a whole lot of rigmarole – my sis in law’s friend kindly picked it up from Adelaide for us and delivered to sis in law at Pinnaroo – she kindly delivered it to us (2.5 hours drive) and upon opening it we discovered we are missing a box! So the cot only has ends – no sides or base!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Getting it sorted…
So now I have a change table anyway. I have sorta packed my hossie bag – I figure we only live 1km away so won’t matter if I forget something!
Really looking forward to getting into my Body Blitz Blueprint program when I get done and dusted with labour and childbirth!
Speaking of programs, here is the link to Belinda Benn’s Get Lean Program – it launched today. Check it out…

PS A couple of weeks ago I received a gorgeous baby package in the mail from one of my clients, Nic – her kids even made us some cards
So cute, and so thoughtful. My public thanks Nic. x
