At this point in the pregnancy...
I feel a bit uncomfortable. I can't say that I'm tired of being pregnant (at least not yet), however, I can't really chill on the couch the way I used to because getting out of the couch sucks the balls...I feel my back is on fire when I try to stand and then I walk a few steps like an old man would with a walker...pretty pathetic lol. During CST testing at school I thought I could handle carrying my box-o-tests to my room...I actually did..day one...and I paid for it at home. My back was IN PAIN!! yea...um..not gonna do THAT again! So I rolled my box on a rolly chair back and forth. I just feel useless not being able to do my own shit. I guess I'm still having a hard time embracing pregnancy and its perks? lol Needless to say, day two of testing I had many caring co-workers who offered to take my box for me...that was nice :) The heartburn comes and goes and the hunger just comes...and comes. Sleeping has also sucked badly. Lots of tossing and turning followed by it's too hot then it's too cold then needing to go pee like 5 million times then tossing and turning some more...like I said...really sucking. And don't get me started on coughing and sneezing and blowing my nose...
As far as food goes...
I am favoring foods that make me have a full belly and not give me heartburn. It's fine when the food is going in and I'm chomp chomping...but after the swallowing and many minutes later...HEARTBURN. Doing the ginger candies, doing the milkshakes (side note-I pay the price for drinking these...I'm lactose intolerant), doing the tums but I really don't want to do the pills...I'm trying to hold off as much as possible on that. I have a hard enough time taking my prenatal (I gag every time I take it...seriously). Pills you say? Thanks, but I'll have to pass lol
Other thoughts running through my head...
I am uneasy about labor pains and how bad it's REALLY going to be. I know it's pretty early to be thinking about it but it's still in the back of my mind. We will be attending the baby classes on the 28th of this month. I hope we get some good info. I guess I also have to start thinking about my birth plan and whether I want pain meds or not. Lots to think about!!
I am excited about being able to still fit into my jeans...yes MY jeans. Let's see if this is the case next month though...lol. Some of my t-shirts however, have been put on the "out of commission" list until further notice...lol
