I remember looking at the women in my first prenatal yoga class that were in the 30-week range and thinking that was so far away. Now here I am past 33 weeks, getting so close! I find myself waddling a little sometimes because of the pressure on my back and hips. I try to correct that as soon as I notice it. My next prenatal appointment is on January 3rd, so I'm really trying to watch my weight before then. I didn't realize how hard it would be to go through a pregnancy during the holidays - too many rich, fatty foods to tempt me! I try to avoid the break room/kitchen at work to bypass the treats that seem to arrive every day.
I'm excited to have 2 four-day weekends in a row for Christmas and New Year's. D also has the same days off. Risha is off to San Diego with Gabe to spend the holidays with my mom and the Cali relatives. I wish we could be there too but traveling is a no-no for me right now.
Christmas was nice and low-key. D and I slept in, had a fire in the woodstove, opened a couple presents and took it easy. Every year I get a ham from work, so we cooked that up with green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy and garlic bread - yummy Christmas dinner!
