The word of the week is STRETCHED!
I feel day in and day out like someone is blowing up a balloon in my belly. Things are stretching and aching and moving around. This is what is making sleep tough. Couple that with my allergies and nights get rough. I've popped a couple benadryl here and there on the nights where I am very sniffly and that helps a lot and allows me to sleep through the night.
We bought a fetal doppler and while it took me a few minutes to find the heartbeat the first time, it took hubs all of 1 second the next time we played with it.
This week I also came to the sad realization that riding Pongo is getting much more uncomfortable. On Saturday (Sad-urday) I started to feel achy at the trot. Like a grapefruit was using my insides as a trampoline. Walking under saddle I'm completely fine and cantering is sort of OK, but not great. We've been looking at new barns to get him out in a pasture for the time being until baby comes and I figure out what happens next with the spotty horse.
