Week 33 of Pregnancy 6

In the midst of everything, I forgot to mention that Scott was out of town last week. He went to Nashville for the SEC tournament. We are huge Kentucky fans. He goes to the SEC tournament every single year. But, I’ve also never been this pregnant while he was away.

I was really hesitant at first because, while I knew I still had plenty of time, I was still overall pretty nervous for him to be 3 1/2 hours away. But, I couldn’t tell him no. I never had any intention on telling him no.

I knew...I hoped this would be his last hoo-rah before me having the baby.

He was gone from Thursday night until Sunday afternoon.

AKA he was physically present Sunday afternoon, but not prepared to be a parent until about Tuesday evening.

The absolute worst thing that happened while he was gone…my hemorrhoids came back. Just from being super pregnant, and having to do everything for the girls, and not being able to sit down and relax, they are back. FULL FUCKING FORCE. It’s awful.

Basically, the only thing that heals them for me is sitting in warm baths with Epsom salt, preparation H, and sitting in the recliner with my feet propped up.

I have had hemorrhoids every single pregnancy. I am not saying this because I’m in the moment, but these are for sure the worst things I ever dealt with. I am going to talk to my doctor next week about potential surgery.

I do not wish this pain on my worst enemy.

In somewhat happier news, we have had our new bed for a week now and I am dead serious, it’s helping my hips. I cannot believe it. For about 3 weeks, I was almost in tears every single day when I got out of bed because my hips hurt so bad. I honestly did not think a new bed would help. I just thought I was going to be stuck with this pain because of pregnancy until I gave birth.

For the past couple of days, my hips have not been hurting. I am really hoping our new bed helps for good and this is not in my head.

An update on Briar’s potty training…

My cautiously optimistic approach appeared to be the right approach because she is now regressing majorly.

I knew this could happen, but I hoped it wouldn’t. It’s just so frustrating when you know she is capable of going to the potty, no problem at all, but she would rather pee and poop in her pull up.

I found myself very, very frustrated with potty training and Briar in general this week. Nothing changed, I was still taking her every 30 minutes, she just straight up decided she wasn’t going to go. She realizes she can pee in her pull-up and she is totally okay with it.

It becomes a difficult subject to tackle because I feel like I need one long weekend with her to potty train her and she would be fine. The problem is, we don’t have one long weekend with nothing to do. I obviously don’t know, but I think she is just the kid that needs to stay naked in order to be properly potty trained. The pull-ups hinder her progress.

She’s also barely 2. So I know I still have time. I just know how easy it was with Raelynn and we are not having that easy of a time with Briar.

Briar is one hard headed and strong willed child.

Lately she has been getting in trouble almost every single day at daycare. It ranges from not listening, to telling the daycare teacher no, to hitting another kid, to just flat out being an asshole. She has been doing the exact same thing at home.

Scott and I were just talking the other day that we think Briar is definitely going through the terrible two’s. Raelynn did not go through this, so this is new territory for us. And it is making the both of us crazy. I keep telling him that I am just waiting on the moment that her daycare calls and says she doesn’t want to watch her anymore. That would just be the icing on the cake.

Box jumps

MY time was 7:02. Modified box jumps to box step ups.

I am so sad to say that I did not do 19.5. I really struggled with this decision. The workout was:

33-27-21-15-9 reps for time of:
65-lb. thrusters
Chest-to-bar pull-ups

Time cap: 20 minutes

In a non pregnant world, thrusters are my jam. I am good at them and I like them.

In my pregnant world with hemorrhoids the size of Jupiter…I could not even fathom doing 1 thruster, let alone 105 of them.

I really, really wanted to complete all 5 open workouts. But my well being was now involved. I am a hard headed asshole, so it took a lot for me to swallow my pride and not participate in this one.
