Energetic and loving it

Jump to Comments

The past 3 days have been great for me.  I wake up in the morning feeling well rested and energetic.  Going for my morning walk hasn’t been a fight the past 3 days and I’ve actually stepped it up to a jog, which feels incredible.  I feel so much better after a good run.  I can’t wait to be able to do it full fledge again.  It makes me feel so carefree and just more energetic in general. 

Today I am 11 weeks and 3 days along. 1 more week and I think I am out of the first trimester, but I’ve read elsewere that 15 weeks is 1 trimester.  Doing the math with that though doesn’t make sense.  Neither 12 or 15 weeks make sense and come to think of it it doesn’t make sense to say your going to pregnant for 40 weeks or 9 months. If each trimester is 12 weeks and there are 3 trimesters I’d be pregnant for 36 weeks.  However, if each trimester is 15 weeks then I’d be pregnant for 45 weeks.  That is….if my math is correct, which who knows these days.  As far as the 40 weeks/ 10 month thing goes.  40 weeks is 10 months isn’t it?  Not 9 months. So I feel like people have being saying for years that you’re only pregnant for 9 months, it’s not that long, but when you add that extra month in there WHEW it seems like an eternity.  Maybe I’m confusing myself and maybe even you guys, but this is a thought I’ve been pondering for a while.

Anyway, I got off the subject a bit.  So Ya, I’m feeling great.  In the morning I still get a little naseaus feeling for about an hour or so, but it seems to go away after lunch time. My breasts don’t seem as tender as they were before.  The cravings have gone wild.  I crave sweets so much, I can’t take it anymore.  When someone even as much as mentions something sweet, I won’t stop thinking about it until I have it or fall asleep.  It’s so wild.  A new thing that’s been happening is my stomach kinda feels like it’s been bruised on the sides.  I’m assuming that it’s from home that’s being made for the little flutterby.  I went to the dentist the other day and they told me that my gums would start getting sore.  Let me tell you….2 days later they were sore.  No bleeding, but I got these 2 little canker sore type things on the bottom of the inside of my lip.  They hurt like a Mother, let me tell you.  I’ve been gargling with salt water, but it doesn’t seem to be doing a darn thing.  My husband keep insisting that I gargle with peroxide.  I keep insisting that it’s not healthy.  We argue over it.  Then last night, he looked on the bottle and found that nowhere does it mention anything about putting that nasty stuff you in your mouth.  I’m sure it can’t be good for u.

Let’s see, what else.  I picked out the colors for the baby’s room this past weekend.  It’s going to look so great.  I want a beachy type theme for the room whether it be a girl or a boy.  I found a beachy yellow and a beachy green.  They are such pretty colors.  Then I totally scored by finding a paint by numbers wall mural.  Let me tell you. This thing rocks.  It’s an 8ft by 7 ft paint by number wall mural.  It’s going to take a LONG time to finish, but it’s going to look amazing when it’s complete.  I’ll be sure to post pictures.  I think I found the bedding I want, and it’s totally on sale right now.  I want to buy it cause it is on sale and I don’t know if it’ll be around when I have the shower, but in the same sense, I don’t know if I should do that. The sale goes until the 15th of this month, so I’ll take it day by day and see what happens from there. 

Oh ya…..I don’t remember if I mentioned before about the descion making that I am having so much trouble with.  WOW……let me tell you. It’s horrible.  Making a descion is so incredibly hard for me these days.  Before I was pregnant, I was undecisive, but this is way worse than it’s ever been before.

I’ve been in such a great mood lately, that my husband has also changed his mood.  He has been so loving and caring and understanding.  He bought me a nice arangment of orchids the other day.  The most beautiful orchids I’m sure I will ever encounter in my lifetime, if I do say so myself.  They are gorgeous.  Thank you baby.  MUAH!

We’ve been spending some much needed time together lately.  It feels great.  This weekend he said he would even take off (it’s a side job thing he does with his best friend almost every weekend of the YEAR).  so he said he would take it off so that we could ride up to Vermont to look at the foliage and then go apple picking on Sunday.  I’m super stoked.  I can’t wait. 

Well, enough of the book and not making much sense out of anything.  I am having a wonderful few days and hope that it keeps up. 

I love you more and more each day my little flutterby.  Keep on growing!  I know I’m growing so I’m hoping that’s a good sign that you are too.

P.S.  If I continue growing at the rate I’ve been I’ll be up 40 pounds from when I first found out I was preggo.  I have been gaining 1 lb steadily every week.  I seem to have come to grips with it more and more each day.  I worked so hard to get the body that I had, that’s why it’s been so hard for me to let go.  I shall be over that soon though.  I know it’s something that won’t last forever.  I did it before, I can do it again.
