My Best Year

I was having lots of contractions today, so I decided not to do any extra exercise.  The baby felt really low, and it was uncomfortable just doing the chores around the house.  Is this going to happen soon????

Sleep has been a real prob this last month.  My nose is always congested and I have to use nose spray daily (not good).  I'm still feeling like I can't breathe when I lay down.  And I've had to use sleeping pills lately or else I wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning and can't go back to sleep.  They make me feel groggy all day but at least i'm getting some sleep. 

My tiredness is really getting to me!  I still managed to run/walk on the treadmill for an hour, and I really barely made it.  i only ran 3 - 1 min segments and it just killed (lots of pressure on pelvic region).  So I walked up inclines and on flat segments.  By the end I had slowed to about 2 on the tread.  I really think she's getting close:)

Today was kind of a rough day for me.  I had been kind of anti-social lately cause I just get tired of people's comments.  I know people don't mean to make me feel bad, but comments such as,"oh my gosh, you are huge!!!"  don't sit well with me.  I already know that I look like I have an entire basketball sticking out the front, and that it looks kind of funny on my small frame, but it just gets old I guess.  Maybe I'm just being a little extra sensitive and just really ready to get this baby out!  (due date is next fri). 

So anyways I went to Turbokick this morning, and got this reaction.  Lots of oh man, oh my gosh, holy cow....ugh!  It felt good to get a hard workout in, and had lots of contractions from it.  later on I went to train my clients for the last time at the rec center, and the front desk lady actually gasped at me.  Seriously what is wrong with people! 

Ok I know it will be over soon but I just had to get this off of my chest.  Don't tell pregnant ladies that they look huge!  We don't differentiate a huge belly from huge thighs, or a huge butt.

I went to the washington rec center and did 40 min on the elliptical, and then only had time for about 15 min in the water.  Swimming felt a little easier than it has for sure! 

Jim surprised me and took me out to Benja's tonight for Valentine's Day:)  It was sooo yummy, except I ordered my red curry a little too spicy.  i had ordered a level 5 last time, and it wasn't even that spicy...That must have been a mistake because I could only get through half my meal.  It was sooo good though:) 

After all the traveling it felt good to get on the tread and walk/ run a bit before my appt.  (very little running).  Prob 12-15 min total on the run.

I got a little frustrated and upset after the appt as I thought I'd be a lot closer than I was.  I was only dilated to a 1.5 and she was still sitting high.  I'm really trying to be patient!  So preggo hormones got the better of me, and I broke down a few times.  I can't wait to get back to normal!
