Day in my life 36 weeks pregnant
It’s a rare occasion that I’m able to get myself out of bed these days, but we did go to the park to meet up with some friends of ours and I will say my favorite thing about Florida is the fact that we can go play at the park in the middle of January and it’s 75°!
Most days you’ll find me lying in bed for a majority of the day. I’m excited to be getting closer and closer to 37 weeks since that is around the same time I had my last two babies and I’m hoping this one will follow suit.
We’ve been watching a lot of TV and as much as I hate watching TV all day it’s one of the few activities we can do especially with my hip and pelvis pain keeping me in bed most of the time.
I usually take an Epsom salt bath every day, but over the last week I found myself doing that less and less often mostly just because I feel hot all the time and it doesn’t make me feel much better getting into a big bathtub full of hot water.
One of the few good things about the past week is that I have been sleeping really well, and I’m hoping to keep that up and be well rested when baby decides to make his appearance!
