30-32 Weeks Pregnancy Update & Life Lately

Weeks 30-32:  Still can't believe how fast all of it is flying by.  I had my prenatal appointment at 30 weeks, and everything is looking good.  I actually don't need to see my midwife until first week of November since everything is going smoothly.   I weighed in at a little less than 132.  I truly feel like I am all belly.  I literally walk like a penguin, hehe!  I don't have a very long torso, so my belly is quite visible.  I finally went to see my dentist last week, and she was surprised at how well my teeth looked.  So was I!  She said to keep doing what I'm doing.  I'm guessing the apples I have been snacking on have been doing the trick ;)  I did increase my calcium intake, so that can also be aiding in my teeth staying strong ad healthy.  And I use a regular tooth brush, nothing fancy (even though I might invest in one in the near future).

For the last week, I have been having leg cramps at night.  I had these with my first pregnancy and completely forgot about them.   And my the acid reflux is also a not so fun symptom.  I really need to eat smaller meals now because if I stuff myself, that usually causes it.  This baby girl is super active, I would say even more so than Masha was.  I am very curious to see how much she will weigh at birth considering I am much smaller this time around.

Overall, I feel great!  Definitely have less energy than I did in my 2nd trimester.  I keep up my daily walks (morning & evenings) and it seems to help.  It is a bit cooler now, mostly due to less humidity.  Can I say I'm absolutely loving it!    Masha has been keeping me busy.  We are always out and about.  Love when my hubs has a day off, she is such a daddy's girl.  Love watching them play together.  Can't wait to go to a pumpkin patch this weekend!


Here are some photos from last couple weeks:

My Holy Grail Hair Products...

Today I am sharing my favorite hair products, from the shampoo/conditioner down to the scrunchies I use at night.  What are your must have hair products?

Some of my favorite brands that I tend to stick to are Aveda, Kiehl's and Davines.  Every 6 months or so, I like to alternate my shampoo/conditioner.  I love to moisturize my ends once a week with coconut oil.  Since I wash my hair only twice a week, I like give myself a blow out to last me between the other wash.   At night I wear my hair in a high bun with a scrunchie or a braid.  I don't do anything spectacular however I do take vitamins that I buy from Vitacost and have a green smoothie every morning.  What are some of your hair secrets?

With everything that I have been through in my past, I like to be as gentle and natural with my hair as possible.  I thank God everyday for giving me my hair back.  It is truly a miracle!
