Breaking The Scales

Just had another Dr apt today and everything is looking great! My apt last month I was weighing in at 125 but within the last four weeks I have bumped that number up to a whopping 130! That's great news because I am feeling really great and eating is becoming much easier! Still not a fan of any chunk-like meat, but can do shredded or chopped just fine now! YAY! I am feeling really good and energy is kicking in better, which means I can get more done in a period of time instead of start a project and five minutes later need to take a break. I try to do well to listen to the needs of my body the best I can. I don't want to over do it especially since I do still, on some occasion, gets menstral cramps and painful pulled muscles just below my belly. I am learning my limits and adjusting to them. I also feel I am on high perks this week because my kids will be back in just two days!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sleepless Nights

are here again! They say to make sure you get as much sleep each night before the baby gets here because you're not going to get any when the baby is here......HA! I've had plenty of restless nights already to confirm that pregnancy is nothing other than the preparation phase before the baby is here. They start early in keeping you awake. Whether it's because they are so active and playing so much that you can't possibly sleep, hitting the bladder again, the back and other body areas are hurting or uncomfortable, or your just plain hungry. Here I am, up early in the morning because of ALL the symptoms I just listed. I am really hoping to get a nap in later on today because I did a lot of work yesterday and was looking forward to a good nights sleep. Didn't happen. I better enjoy what time I have left of being able to take naps before my kids get back!

Least Favorite

Remember those times when your bladder felt like a punching bag, or a water bed, or anything other than your own source of storage? Yeah, I'm so there! The little kicks and movements all around are delightful and a great joy even, until that bladder gets played with and it's all I can do to not feel like I have to relieve it, when I completely don't. It's lovely. And since this little guys is more active whenever I"m sitting or laying then it's every time I stand that I feel the urge to relieve myself. And of coarse nothing is there. I"m only five months along, so I get to enjoy this great pleasure for another four months.
