Help! I rarely had this issue pre-motherhood. Nevertheless, I have eye brightener and concealer in my makeup arsenal; but nothing is working on the massive circles I woke up with this morning!
What are your tips for covering up under-eye circles?
This looks so relaxing...
Apparently C has decided that instead of the more palatable wake-up time of 7 or 8, he would prefer to wake up at 5:30am. FIVE THIRTY IN THE MORNING. Naturally, he insists on continuing two night feedings, the second of which is typically between 3:30 and 4:30. Thus, he leaves me with somewhat of a “cat nap” before getting up for the day.
Let me remind you, lest you forget, that C also does not nap during the day unless he is held.
This leaves me with the age-old question (oh wait, it’s not an age-old question? You mean there are babies who actually sleep?): Why, dear child, do you not require more sleep than an adult?
After a few days of a cough, sore throat and sinus pain/pressure progressively getting worse, I trekked to Urgent Care today to see what was up. Turns out there’s an 80% chance it’s viral, but since I’m so close to labor and this is rendering me completely exhausted, the doctor prescribed an antibiotic to be safe. Now I have an antibiotic for a UTI and an antibiotic for whatever might be settling in my lungs. I can’t catch a break in the final few weeks of this pregnancy!
I can’t believe I didn’t get sick my entire pregnancy until now, when I could go into labor at any moment. At this point, I’m worried about having a higher chance for a C-section because I don’t have any energy to get through labor. Hoping I’ll get better really soon so that I’m ready for this little dude to make his arrival.
At the risk of sounding like I’m whining (because at this point, I’m too tired to care)…being 39 weeks pregnant is bad enough without throwing a nasty cold into the mix. :-/
A while back, I purchased three prenatal workout DVDs with the intention of working out daily to stay fit and keep my muscles loose. I did them for a while, but once I hit my third trimester, it has been very difficult to work up the energy to work out. I often put on my workout attire and then end up sitting on the couch for a while, unable to work up enough energy. Eventually, I give up and take a shower.
Has this happened to any of you? How do you get enough energy to work out?
I can’t believe how difficult it can be to try to work out while pregnant. I started doing 20-30 minutes of prenatal pilates each day. It feels great afterward, when my muscles are all stretched and loose. Yesterday, however, I thought I was going to pass out after only 10 minutes – my belly felt SO heavy. I’m hoping the extra exhaustion is not a sign of what is to come once I’m technically in my 3rd trimester in just a few short days.
It’s also strange thinking of working out as being a way to keep muscles loose and toned instead of as a means to lose weight. I’m trying to think of it as a means to an easier labor, delivery and recovery.
A review of 10-minute solution Prenatal Pilates is on its way….I have tried 4 out of the 5 workouts thus far
