They say this is the golden time of pregnancy. I'm going to call it tolerable. For the most part things are feeling mostly comfortable still... Not so sick, can eat things normally... But I am having a heck of a time with activity. Now I'm no Jillian Michaels but I can usually hold my own, especially when it comes to lifting, walking, crouching, climbing the stairs in the house, etc. Yes, even this little exertion gets my heart thumping in my ears and me panting for breath. Sad but true and something I am not used to. I do not like being physically incapable but I will tolerate it for the next few months. I suppose its only going to get worse. Had to stop kick boxing a few weeks ago mostly due to time restrictions but I'm going to be honest and admit that I will not be back for a long time. Still am proud I kept at it until the 19 week mark. I think I might join pregnant people yoga once all these courses settle down... Ha, if that happens. Things are not looking any lighter for the next month. I will have to cool it eventually, but for now still have a pregnancy course, photo course, dnd, various friend visits, work, gardening... Its tough making life and living life at the same time.
Well here I am looking a little more pregnant. And yes I know I have a keen sense of style!
So on Thursday night, mostly due to exhaustion, I had my 4th emotional breakdown since this all started. They are pretty funny, retrospectively of course. Sometimes its uncontrollable crying over sad movies, if not, then irrational worries and laments. Its tough being full of hormones. Proudly though, I've only had 2 baby brain episodes. Once I packed my cell phone away with my dice in Jen's cupboard, where luckily she thought to look, otherwise it would have been a week until I found it. Second, I ended up wearing Matt's sandals in to work instead of mine and didn't notice until I got there, too late and far away to change them. Again, things I can only assume will get worse. Oh well, at least they are funny.
On Saturday we tried another shopping escapade. There was suppose to be a 50% sale at Babies R Us but it was super lame and we just ended up buying sheets, cuz nothing else was on sale. Then we went up to the baby store for the richer than us crowd. Checked the prices and left. So checking things off the list has been a little slow, needless to say. Either way, I feel we will be better at getting things after the baby course. No rush right now... Yet...
Today, we gardened and finally bought a compromise of a patio set. It looks better than expected and at least I can lounge the summer away in some comfort. It was another long day and I am pooped and will probably be sore tomorrow. Once I'm done this blog its early to bed or me!
This week the baby size veggie is... Spaghetti squash... Ooookay. They are developing better eye sensors, their hand gripping abilities, and sprouting more hair this week. Considering we are going to have curly haired hobbity babies they better start growing that hair now! One the plus side I am almost 95% sure I felt some distinct kicks from baby girl the other night. Still hard to tell what a lot of the sensations are but those ones felt fairly obvious. Hopefully, more to come soon. In honor of the babies I colored my nails accordingly at my pedicure! Dorky... Yes! Fun.. Also yes!
Alright, this was a along one. Time to sleep now. Kittens say "about time."
PS Although my feet do not look swollen in this picture it has begun depending on my salt/water intake and activity. I will try to keep it at bay because swollen feet really suck.
