So this past Sunday marked 28 weeks for me which now means I have officially entered my third trimester!
I haven't had many issues through my whole pregnancy, but this week I've noticed a couple different things. For one, baby Angelo is definitely growing as his kicks are getting stronger, and my body has noticably been preparing itself for labor!
Just the other day, down south felt extremely sore after I ran to the store to go shopping which was also accommodated by crampy legs. It was pretty random, but I contacted the midwife and she said it means my body is basically preparing itself. Although I haven't felt it get like that since that day and when I laid down it tappered off. So if anyone has something like that happen to them, it's most likely part of the body's way of getting prepared for the big day!
In other news this week, Anthony and I were going to Walmart and there was a small amount of snow on the ground. As we walked towards the store, snow was sticking to my shoes and it was actually pretty annoying so I was looking forward to going inside and wiping my feet. As soon as we walked in I pretty much found myself lose balance as the soles of my shoes were complete ice and I fell forward onto my wrist. There were NO rugs at the door. The rugs were a couple feet inside and I would have fallen trying to get to them anyway! Anthony was walking to get a cart when it happened and unfortunately I didn't keep up since I lost balance and as it happened I wished he was closer so I'd have something to grab and prevent me from falling. But what happened, happened.
We found ourselves filling out an injury report. Or Anthony did, because my writing hand was out. After that fall my hand hurt SO bad. I had pain pulsing through my wrist to my elbow and I was shaking.
After all that, we decided to do the shopping we came to do in the first place. Then headed home, and decided to head to the ER to get my wrist/hand/arm checked just to make sure it's all okay. They couldn't do Xrays of course, because it's very risky with me being pregnant. So the doc just took a look and he thinks it is just bruised. So I went home with a brace and ice to put on it. If pain persists then I'll go for a follow up to get it further examined.
PS- We got some body pillows which I've needed for a long time! They seriously do help. Even if you get the ones that are a few dollars at Walmart, you'll be thankful you have anything! Especially for this last trimester.
What an interesting week for me this was...
Tomorrow I will be 29 weeks, and I'll keep updating every Saturday. Although, March 8th-13th I'll be travelling to Ohio for my baby shower. But despite that, I'll continue to update as long as I'm not too busy.
Have a good week! ♥
