Baby is definitely growing! I am really feeling just how big baby is getting. I’m wearing my pregnancy brace more and more to keep my belly in a better place. I’m not really comfortable wearing it all the time, but when I’m really hurting, it is a huge relief!
I mentioned last week that we were going to an early Thanksgiving dinner. Well, that fell through. A light case of the stomach flu quickly ran through our house, starting that morning, so we stayed home. I did let the kids listen to Christmas music as a consolation prize. 😉
Its been 5 weeks since my last OB appointment. With everything that has been going on here (more on that later in the week), I had to stretch the visit out further. My doctor is pretty easy-going, so it wasn’t a big deal. However, this Wednesday, I do have my OB appointment AND my Gestational Diabetes counseling. It’s going to make for a long day.
Still no updated photo. Honestly, between not feeling good from the flu and not having any place to be where I needed to dress up and “fix myself up”, I wouldn’t have had any good photos anyway. At this point in pregnancy, getting a flattering photo of yourself takes planning!
One last thing I wanted to tell you about is the sale going on right now for an ebook I’m an affiliate with…
The Sweeter Side of Candida is a fantastic book to have around for the holidays. Many of the recipes in the book are sugar free, gluten free versions of holiday favorites! I am going to be relying heavily on this ebook in the next few weeks.
Now through November 8th, you can get the ebook at 20% off!
Have a blessed week everyone!

Hi,
I’ve been wondering if you are continuing to take Magnesium, and if so, if you have noticed any difference as far as RLS and Charly Horses are concerned ?
Thanks !
Amy says
I’ve never had major charley horse in pregnancy, but I can definitely tell a HUGE difference in the RLS!
Whitney says
Have you had gestational diabetes before?? I have it for the second time out of five pregnancies and am devastated!! Do you have any advice???
Amy says
I have never had it until now. And I was pretty devastated as well. However, I haven’t had a hard time managing it at all and I don’t anticipate it being a big deal in the long run. I don’t enjoy pricking my finger all the time and reporting it, but I don’t have much longer to do, so I guess I’ll do what I need to do. 😉

There’s always time for a photo 😉 Get on it mama!

LOL – I did manage that belly shot I put on Instagram after we voted! Maybe I can snap one today before I head out!
