Week 36 and I'm finally feeling pretty uncomfortable! My ankles are swollen, my pelvis is aching, and rolling over in bed is super painful. My one hip has been doing this weird popping thing that is new this week. And my back aches when I walk. I know I can't complain because my pregnancy has been relatively easy, but I think it's finally time to slow things down a bit... which is really hard for me as a person!
Thursday was my birthday and I was supposed to get up for CrossFit, but I stayed up kind of late Wednesday, my pelvis was feeling achy, and to be honest I didn't really want to ruin my cute hair from my photo shoot on Wednesday lol. No regrets. When I woke up Dave gave me some really cute gifts and a card from the baby.
Thursday night we drove down the shore for our last prebaby weekend away. Friday we worked a few hours in the morning and then headed to the beach for a few cool cloudy hours. Dave went out Friday night but I fell asleep on the couch right after dinner and then opted for some ice cream and Modern Family in bed. Saturday it poured all day, which was perfect for hitting the bar and watching Penn State crush Akron in their season opener. We had a ton of delicious seafood for dinner and then headed over to Dave's aunt and uncle's place for a rainy night in. Sunday we got some decent beach weather and Sunday night I finally made it out. We went to 3 of our favorite bars. I sipped on iced coffee and a mocktail, stayed out till 1:30 am, and survived the mile walk home. I sure felt like a trooper! On Monday we had a perfect day at the beach. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and we got there nice and early to meet up with Karisa and Frank, their kids, and a few of their other friends with their children. We got a nice sneak preview at our future at the beach with toddlers running around and had a lot of fun with everybody. We stayed at the beach for over 5 hours and said a sad goodbye to the beach for this season! All weekend I kept thinking I should be taking pictures, but it was sort of nice not to worry about it and just enjoy being in the moment versus capturing it on my camera. These were the only pics from the weekend.
On Wednesday I made it back to the gym! The strength was 20 squats and I'm pretty sure weighted squats are what left my pelvis aching last week, so I decided to do something else. My coach suggested I do some push presses, which was the strength from the day before, but I really wanted to snatch! I did them in sets of 2 and just worked up to a heavy weight that still felt super easy. I honestly can't believe I put up 85# so easily.
The WOD was every 3 mins x 5 of 40 double unders (I did 30 air squats), 10 calorie row, and 6 handstand push ups (I did incline push ups on a low racked barbell). I finished every round with about 30 seconds to rest. I got a great workout and woke up super sore the next day... nothing in my pelvis or belly, just regular CF muscle soreness in my chest from the push ups and my inner thighs from all those squats, which means I'm still getting stronger! But it did make me realize that I probably don't want to be sore AT ALL for my birthing time... I need to go in feeling my best!
This week was pretty uneventful pregnancy wise:
- I slept like crap at the beach and I was thinking that this might be it for any good sleep, but once I got home to my own bed I slept a lot better. I generally only get up once to pee, so that's not too bad at all.
- I finally started packing my hospital bag. I've had my list done for a while but I actually started getting everything together. I'll be finishing this over the weekend, so we're ready to go!
- My feet are sausages, it's not cute.
