Kicking My Ass

This baby, this pregnancy, is kicking my ass this week! I'm not even kidding! I am so incredibly greatful for it but goodness gracious! There is the nausea, which is usually just slightly annoying & not a big deal. There's the sore boobs & nipples which OMG, Ouchie! The backaches! The uterine/area sharp pains. Ok, I don't usually mind the pains, it lets me know things are stretching & whatever. But yesterday I nearly fell to my knees from one. I got off the couch to mess with dinner & I had to grab the wall as I bent over in pain. I was fine after that but geesh, it was scary! The biggest ass kicker is NO ENERGY! Last week I was a cleaning machine. I HAD to be cleaning, my house had to be clean. I want it clean this week too but yeah....that means getting up. I've kept my house clean but minimal clean. Just enough so it is clean but not deep clean.

This morning, oh this morning has been the mack daddy of butt kicking! Haha! When I woke up my back hurt so bad that while getting ready for Curves I had to sit on the bed because I felt like my knees were going to collapse. So I go to stretch & my buttcheeks feel like blocks of stone & when my knees were up, it felt like I had a metal bar going across right above my butt. It hurt to lay on the floor to stretch. It helped though so yeah. Nausea! It's been mighty today & without my peppermint candy I would not have gotten through Curves. Then there's the burning nipples. I was SOOOO thirsty too & still am but I know if I drink as much as I want, as I feel I need, I will get sick. I know when I stand back up the nausea will come raging back to me. Ugh! Oh, most of all because I can deal with all that no problem is the no energy. I feel like a zombie. I am so completely exhausted & I've done almost nothing. I am going to fall asleep on the treadmill today. Oh yes, I will. Ok, probably not. I hope next week will be better! I want energy. Plus our first appt is Monday so yay!

So, I've bitched alot. I agree, being pregnant can SUCK! But I love it. I love that our baby & this pregnancy is kicking my ass. I know all is well when I am this miserable. I know when I feel the pains it's our baby growing & making the room it needs. I usually tell him/her hello when I feel them. It sucks having no energy but I'd do it everyday if I had too. I'd probably just stay in bed most of the day. :) I will cherish every single minute. It is the greatest gift & miracle in the world & I appreciate every second of it. :) I am so thankful!
