PREGNANCY WEEK 34, 35, 36

Geez, it’s scary how fast the weeks are going. Another 3 ½ weeks down and I’ve only got 19 more days until bubs is due (although really hoping he decides to come out a bit early).

Looking back the last few weeks have flown by. I’ve been madly trying to get all the business stuff up to date and make sure Cam’s on top of it all so he can help out more once bubs is due, along with my cleaning the weeks are going rather fast (which is good!)

For anyone who thinks that nesting is a myth, I’m here to tell you it’s not! I’m been a cleaning freak the last few weeks and I don’t even like cleaning. I thought I was over it and everything was done but yesterday the urge took me again and as exhausted as I was I had to oil the deck and clean the bathroom AGAIN! I really hope this bubs arrives soon as I’m sick of cleaning and REALLY starting to find daily tasks a bit hard now.

For the last few weeks my exercise has been a bit pathetic. I’ve managed a full body workout each week and either a session on the spin bike or a walk up the hill. This week has been a bit better and I’ve already done a good hill walk and spin bike session so I know I can surely fit a couple more things in before the week is up. It’s been hard for me as I’m so used to pushing myself with my training that a stroll on the flat streets doesn’t seem to cut it although right now it would be better than nothing. I’m also finding that my body isn’t recovering too well after doing some form of exercise, I end up waddling around for the rest of the day and looking a bit odd! I’ve also noticed my spin shoes barely fit right now as my feet have swollen and obviously a lot fatter!

My nutrition is a bit hit and miss at the moment as well. Some days its great and other days I’m just over it and end up including a nice sweet treat. I’m starting to get very curious as to how my body will respond after bubs is born. It seems some people lose fat really quickly and others struggle. I’m preparing myself that it will take quite a few months before I’m really comfy again and back in my normal clothes again. I know it will take some hard work but I’m strangely excited about it. I’m actually training a couple of new mums at the moment and they are quite inspiring and getting some great results which reminds you again that it is possible but I just need to make sure I make things happen.

I’m on the countdown now and ready for the next step and so excited about meeting out little man. He’s moving around a fair bit or maybe it’s just that he’s heaps bigger and I can REALLY feel it when he moves. He also gets hiccups a few times a day which is quite entertaining, I kinda feel sorry for him but everyone says that babies aren’t bothered by hiccups (I just know I hate them!). I keep hearing everyone tell me to enjoy the rest but honestly I’m not getting much. I’m sure bubs has me in training as the most I can sleep without either getting up to go to the loo or just trying to get comfy is 2 hours in a row. I suppose I better get used to it as gone are the days of sleeping through the night and waking up feeling great!

So with 19 days to go I’m feeling rather large and uncomfortable but hey that’s what happens when you have a bubs growing inside of you. It’s quite amazing and I’m still in shock that in a few weeks we will be have a baby!

I’ll be back soon with a special offer that we have in place for New Years! (I’ll be doing it along with anyone else that decides to jump on board!)

Have a great day!

Cheers, Hilds

Not long to go now Hilds, how exciting! Yes I agree you should rest now too, but I know its hard. I actually didn't get any nesting instinct at all which was lucky! I just started baking cakes and things LOL!

All the best for the rest of your pregnancy, hope you can take a little time for yourself before your precious little bundle arrives :)

Thanks Hilary. I'm trying to relax but not feeling too comfy at the moment. I'm just VERY excited about meeting our little man and getting stuck into the next adventure.

I hope you and bubs are going well atlhough I imagine she's not so little anymore.

Hi Hilds,
Hope all goes well in the last weeks. I am 32 and a half and agree with you about how much the bub moves, wasn't expecting that at all. And I am also with you on the nesting. I seems to come up with more and more jobs after I think everything is done.
