I only have one more week to meet my goal for the hospital of choice. I have been SO thirsty. Sleeping miserably (combined 5hrs tops). I developed a canker sore for the first time in years (I read this is common in pregnancy?) & despite good care, my gums have started swelling, ugh. I have been having SHARP, I mean excruciating stabbing pains in my cervix -- dilation perhaps??
I've noticed my hand swelling around my ring fingers have decreased significantly... perhaps from the lack of sugars I've consumed??? I have also LOST weight, I assume from all the bathroom trips lately. Last night I had to empty a FULL bladder 5 times in 1.5hrs, oh my word. Lol.
Clean eating has been really hard, but I've been following the Weight Watchers point system... I am allowed 34pts a day (41 when I begin breastfeeding). I am also stopping by the store today to replenish some groceries, I've been obsessed hardcore with feta/green grape/grape tomato salads with a splash of balsamic vinegar. So amazing. I added watermelon to it yesterday. A sinfully delicious treat! :)
I've also found comfort in yoplait light yogurt, progresso light canned soups, broccoli slaw salad (steamed with goat cheese tastes like pasta!). I love apples and peanut butter, mozzarella string cheese and blueberries. This reminds me I need to place an order for nuts and dried fruit to make my on the go snacks when nursing. I'm making zuchinni boats tonight as a potato skins swap. And stuffed portobello mushrooms as mock pizza. The boys will get actual pizza though.
I am thankful for knowledge with Hungry Girl and access to all the WW groups and recipes. It's also helpful that I have an amazing support system, though we don't talk daily I know they have my back! :)
