Random Rants
30 progesterone shots so far with at least another 60 to go. Already my butt is looking a little worse for wear, the right cheek feels like a have a baseball implanted just beneath the skin and someone keeps trying to hit line drives on that thing. Strangely enough, the left side is handling all of the abuse quite well. No swelling and barely any tenderness. The right side needs to take some cues from its neighbor.
I can’t wait until Friday. Not just because it’s my first ultrasound, but because I have a ton of questions for the doc. First and foremost, can I start exercising? This lethargy is affecting my mood and rapidly adding to my waistline. Not that I’m intending to get all crazy and try to lose weight or anything, but being able to take short walks around the neighborhood would be nice. Or maybe some yoga or stretching?
I’ve been feeling extremely unattractive and frumpy these days. (Thus, no vlogs!) Some of it is undoubtedly because I have gained some weight and clothes don’t fit me like they should. Besides that, my skin (although not great to begin with) is having issues of its own. These days, it seems that my skin simply cannot get hydrated no matter how much I moisturize. Is it this weather or is being pregnant sucking all the moisture out of me?
I guess I’m not one of those women who look ravishing and get a natural glow from being pregnant. Shucks.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
Hey Sis! Don’t be so hard on yourself…you have to realize that your pregnant, and that means weight gain…you will always look beautiful in hubbys eyes!…no matter how much weight you have gain…like he says main thing your healthy, that all matters…love yah! xoxo
I did water aerobics a the Y up until my 8th month….I really enjoyed it, especially when I was starting to get bigger - it felt good to be light in the water. Maybe you could ask the doc about that, if you’re interested!
*excited* for your ultrasound, too!!
hi donna! just wanted to say, good luck on your appointment tomorrow!!! and don’t worry about looking frumpy (though i am sure you look great!), these are the days when you have a good excuse to eat, eat, eat!!!
Anyone who tries as long and as hard as you have for a pregnancy that is prayed for and desired equally as much automatically wins the “you are beautiful” award everyday. You look Mahvuhlous!
I can’t wait until Friday either! Seeing that little miracle in full view (even if he/she/they) is/are tiny will be a wonderful moment for you!
