Happy Monday! How was your weekend? We ordered pizza twice, spent the day at the pool on Saturday, had a small BBQ with my Mom Saturday night, and then I had a wonderful brunch at Hub 51 with a few of my girls friends on Sunday morning.
Pregnancy Update – 34 Weeks
We have less than 6 weeks until we get to meet baby Allie! It’s starting to feel like we are in the home stretch.
The beginning of this week started off rough. I was exhausted and nauseous on Monday and Tuesday, but I felt back to normal the rest of the week. Somedays it feels like I’m huge and have lots of pregnancy symptoms and then other days I don’t think about being pregnant that much. I read a lot of pregnancy blogs where women have lots of symptoms and I feel like my pregnancy has been so easy compared to them. I’m extremely thankful for that!
Total weight gain: 24 pounds.
How far along? 34 weeks + 1 day
Due date? September 6, 2015
Baby’s size? Baby Allie is the size of a pineapple (around 20 inches and 4 lbs. 12.).
Workouts:
- Monday: 45 min power walk on the treadmill
- Tuesday: 2 mie run coaching w/ CES + 2 mile walk
- Wednesday: 3 mile run/walk intervals
- Thursday: 3.5 mile walk
- Friday: 3 mile run/walk intervals + upper body weights
- Saturday: 2 mile run + 2 mile walk
- Sunday: Rest
Maternity Clothes: Still wearing the same outfits over and over again.
Sleep: I’m getting around 8 hours each night. My mind starts spinning with baby t0-do’s so sometimes it takes me a little longer to fall asleep.
Best moments this week: Bunch with my CES girl friends. They spoiled me with swaddle blankets, a cute outfit for Allie and this beautiful Mezuzah to put on Allie’s door.
My second favorite part of the week was spending time at the pool. The whole time I was laying in the sun Allie was kicking like crazy. I’ve never felt her move so much.
Miss anything? Coaching the Saturday long runs with CES.
Movement: Lots of movements, especially at night. She’s head down so I feel her kicking. I haven’t felt any rib kicks yet, but I’ve heard that might start soon.
Food cravings: Pizza, fruit, and peanut butter and jelly.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Only when I let myself get too hungry or if I eat too much.
Gender: Girl!
Name: Allison Kay Larsen
Symptoms: Peeing every hour, gum pain (it was really bad on Saturday), and some nights I have spine pain.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody: I was moody on Monday and Tuesday when I felt nauseous, but I was happy the rest of the week.
Looking forward to: My baby shower in less than a week! I can’t wait to see all my friends and family.
Baby items purchased/received: My Mom and twin sister Katie bought us the city mini stroller and I absolutely love it!
About Sara
The baby in the ribs is a wild one. I get it in the car and it always comes as a shocker. I also feel your pain on the coaching side. This was my first week not doing the full distance with the team and I was bummed. But they are all so great about it. Having my husband coaching with me makes it a bit easier. Keep up the great work!!
Aww, I can’t wait to feel those rib kicks. That’s awesome you can still run as far as you have been!
Hope all of your pains go away soon. Have fun at your baby shower! Laying by the pool all day sounds fantastic. I need to do that soon before summer is over. 🙂

Get out to the pool today, Pete! It’s going to be a hot one.
I registered for the same stroller! I can’t wait! Glad to hear you’re doing well. 🙂

YAY, I love it already! Are you just getting one stroller? I’m also getting the BOB jogging stroller.
You ARE in the home stretch! Glad to hear things are feeling mostly easy, and I hope the spine pain eases up. Maybe there’s some stretches/yoga poses you could do that would help? You need your sleep (since you won’t get it in about 6 weeks)!

I know…I’m trying to sleep as much as I can now!
Oh my goodness, only 6 weeks to go!?!?!? How quickly the time has been flying. I am so glad to hear that things have been going so smoothly for you and that you’ve been getting 8 hours of sleep each night! I love that mezuzah – it is really, really beautiful. And I crave pizza and fruit all the time. =P
