ummm, heck yes another week has gone by. and? this is officially the start of our THIRD trimester!! how this is possible? no one knows. but it means we're on the last & final stretch of this baby growin' process.
i really only have one complaint: my whole body feels like it's falling apart. that's it. no seriously, i know i've complained about having a bad back/pelvis/hips/whatever before, but seriously, pregnancy does a number on those bad boys. it takes me like five minutes to get up from the floor or out of bed & i'm starting to waddle already because when i push off my left leg a pain shoots up my back. you guys, being pregnant makes me 80 years old.
how lame is that?
the good news is that once i am up & moving i feel pretty good. i'm still making it to stroller strides & walking quite a bit & doing strength training & stretching & such as. i'm gonna look into some spinning classes here pretty soon because that's what i did with parker up to 36 weeks & it was pretty much my favorite thing EVER. after 36 weeks i swam until the day i delivered... i may be in an old lady's body but i'll be danged if i let it get away from me.
in other good news? baby boy is moving in there lots & lots & i loooove it. i can see my belly poke out from his little jabs now & then & every once in a while i swear he's doing flips because it feels like my whole belly just rolled over.
and in even more good news? we get to see the little man this week in an ultrasound. since we did his "big" ultrasound so early {about 18 weeks} he was measuring a little on the small side & they just wanna do a follow up to make sure they like the way things are progressing. my doctor assures me there's no cause for concern {my belly is measuring right on} & this is totally being over-cautious but what do i care? i'm just excited to see him again. and sam gets to take a half day & come with me so that's pretty sweet too.
anywho, i hope everyone had an awesome mother's day weekend. sam & p-ray went out of their way to make me feel loved & appreciated & it gave me serious heart flutters. we're talkin' flowers & a handmade card {with traced toddler handprints... LOVE.} & my favorite meals & snacks & activities all weekend. but sam informed me that starting tomorrow there will be no more special treatment. at least he's honest.
so happy {belated} mother's day to all you amazing ladies out there & to all the moms that have influenced me in one way or another... there are lots of you & i'm grateful for that.
