Hi Everyone! This past Monday I officially turned 6 months pregnant.
Last Tuesday I had to take a routine Glucola(sugar)Test to test for gestational diabetes. I will not get the results until I go back to the doctor(from talking to others, I must be the only one that found that orange soda stuff that you have to drink pretty darn tasty).
It has been two weeks since the last update. I should say two very different weeks. The first week was GREAT. I was flying high in all of my classes. I had endless energy and sweat a whole lot in each and every class. I felt great because my body lost a lot of water that it was retaining. The only negative thing that occured was that I had to get up around four times a night, every night, because I was drinking so much water(to make up for all of the sweating I was doing during my classes). That added up to many nights of restless sleep.
The second week I stepped out of bed to start the day and felt a shooting pain sweep across my outer hip/thigh muscle. Youch! I hobbled into the shower and it started to loosen up. Since it didn't hurt much after the shower, I kind of forgot about it and went to teach my class. Class was great. We had so much fun. When it came time for crunches(which I no longer do with them)I talked everyone through and suddenly that hip pain just came back full force. Double Youch! Needless to say I have rested and iced my hip the rest of this week. If I couldn't get a class covered, I just talked everyone through. By the way, I talked 3 classes through this week and was told that I am MUCH HARDER on them when I do that. So I have not quite yet figured out if this means that they want me to heal up or not
!
Things that have stayed the same since the last update: 1) Still craving some junk(now its munchkin holes from Dunkin Donuts and ice cream sandwiches), 2) still eating a "little" healthier too(fruits and salads especially), 3) still dealing with allergies("Tylenol Allergy Sinus" has proved to work wonders for me), 4) still teaching a full schedule on a four inch step height(atleast I was before my little hip ordeal---and plan to continue to do so as soon as my hip is better).
Things that are new since the last update: 1) My buda belly has matured a bit. I am hearing a lot of "Oh, you are finally starting to show". 2) I'm experiencing little bouts of depression here and there(thank goodness that they don't last for more than an hour or so).
Just For Fun: I bought a fetal monitor to listen to the baby's heartbeat. It works so well. I can hear everything loud and clear. I can even hear his kicks on the monitor.
Well, thats all for now. The next update will be right after the roadtrip. I can write about all of the fun the baby and I had feeling all of these friendly fitness hands rubbing around my belly
