The positives
posted on 07/15/2008
It occurs to me that I've been complaining about one thing or another this entire pregnancy. Maybe it's time to focus on some of the positives. For a little bit. Let's see....um. I don't feel guilty having carrot cake for breakfast. No body gives me any grief about not feeling well enough to take care of something. It gives me the chance to write online journal entries that enable every body to get to know me a little better. I can take naps as often as I want. My husband doesn't complain when I call him up three or four times asking him to bring me something specific from the grocery store on his way home from work. Every day. (Which, sadly, yes, I do do.) And who could forget? At the end of this whole endeavor, I get a baby!! That's definitely the big'un. Except for maybe carrot cake for breakfast....
My belly has grown dramatically this week. In the last week and a half I've lost two belt loop holes. Just don't have any idea where they went. My belly's so big I can't see my belt half the time anymore. :D Okay, not quite, but it's not that far off. Something tells me I won't have lost weight come my next doctor's visit.
I did a prenatal yoga DVD this morning. I've done it once before, right before I started getting so sick in the first trimester. It kicked my butt both times. It's not designed to be difficult, I just haven't done yoga in so long that even the simple things are tricky. And because I haven't been able to do any kind of exercising in about three months, my muscles have atrophied. That doesn't help at all. But I got through the whole thing. And continued to lay on the floor for about ten minutes after it was done. Then I was so freaking beat I had to go take a nap. Never mind that I'd only gotten up an hour before. We don't think about such things, do we baby? Hopefully next time it won't be *quite* so bad. Hahahahahaahahahahaha! Yea, sure. Doesn't mean I won't do it anyway.
