3rd Trimester

I have now officially begun the 3rd Trimester! I am 26 weeks pregnant. My lower back and tail bone are constantly bothering me. I get restless leg syndrome at night and sometimes I get those nasty calf cramps! Ugh they are just awful and I am trying my best to not get them! A good tip is to not flex the foot. I also get pretty knotted up in between my shoulder blades. I am long over due for a message! I am taking yoga, swimming classes, and still working out. The yoga makes me feel great right after the class but then by the time I return home I am reminded of all my aches and pains. The swimming is great because you are weightless in the water so I feel like a normal person. My regular workouts are getting harder due to the growing belly. For all those who don't think I look pregnant here are some belly pictures for you! Now you can clearly tell that I am pregnant and I certainly feel pregnant! Oh which reminds me I had my first hot flash today, it sucked. I was getting a facial and suddenly I got really hot and then super noxious, thought I was going to pass out or get sick. It went away though as soon as I got up and drank some water. I think it was a combination of how hot the room was and what the devil lady was doing to my face. I don't know if you have ever had extractions done on your face but it really hurts! This is why I call my esthetician the devil lady under my breath while she is performing the extractions.
