My fitness is on hold

I am trying to get more exercising in but at a mild pace it does not feel like enough.  I did Kempo X today and didn't even break a sweat.  I guess it is a good thing that I am so paranoid as it keeps me from pushing too hard but I really miss working so hard that I can't do anything else.  The whole time I keep remembering how much I was exercising with Evelyn and even William to some extent.  I was able to work fairly hard during their pregnancy and everything was fine.  I just couldn't handle it if it does not work out.  I just keep telling myself that something is better than nothing.  The doctors do want me to exercise and the last one I spoke to even encouraged me to start running again (just to take it slow and not expect much).  With any luck even the little amount of exercise that I am getting will help with my hip pain so I can sleep better.

I have delusions of being able to do Insanity at home after the baby is born (okay not right after) and being able to keep the house clean and caught up on everything.  Still I look forward to being able to push myself in my workouts whatever they may be

Week #19

 This week baby is...

Total weight gain: I still have not weighed myself.

Stretch marks: None that I have found.

Sleep: Still needing a lot but getting my energy back!

Best moment this week:

Movement: More and more!  just a little bit ever once and a while but it is getting more frequent now!

Food cravings: Omelets for breakfast and smarties in the afternoon. 

Symptoms: The ligament pain in my left hip is getting worse, mostly at night.  It is horrible when i get up from reading to Evelyn and William I also am having trouble sleeping.  the only way i am not in pain is when i am on my back and i am not supposed to be sleeping like that, sigh  I also still have my infection, grumble...

Labor Signs: None.

Belly Button in or out: getting flat.

What I miss: Picking up and carrying Evelyn and William, exercising hard and running, I got the three of us new running shoes so maybe I can do a little bit. Running with the kids would not push me too hard and although I would lave to do a 5k I don't think it is going to happen this year.

What I am looking forward to: Holding my baby and exercising again.

Weekly Wisdom:

Feelings: Sad with the anniversary of  Michael and Christopher's loss coming up. 

Snuggle Time

Tonight after I tucked Evelyn into bed she asked me to snuggle with her.  Being an opportunist I said of course!  I pulled back the covers a little so I could join her and had to all her to move over a little.  She giggled and said. "I know why!".  Then after I got in she put her hands on my growing belly and said
  "Keep baby safe, Keep baby safe" and giggled.  Then she had me move into the bad farther and put her hands back sighing contently and said "baby safe".  Then snuggled in.

I am banned from wegmans

until this pregnancy is over.

Random pains

These random pains are getting annoying. The "round ligament pain" is worse now and I'm not sure that it really is what it is.  The position is not quite in the right spot and shows up at night when I am reading to the kids.  I can't seem to sit in a way that does not give me a great deal of pain when I get up.  It is starting to hurt while I sit as well. Though I can sit all day at work with out a problem.

Sleeping is worse the only way that I can sleep without pain is sleep pong on my back though I am not supposed to do that.  Needless to say I am not getting great sleep at night these days.

Today despite not doing anything I seem to have hurt my ankle.  The same one I rolled last may.  It is not to bad but annoying.  I'm going to have to get up and walk around more in hoped that that helps and maybe get out my exercises from PT to see if that helps.

Calming the baby

As I started to read or night time support tonight William patted my belly and said "calm down baby, calm down".  I smiled at him and asked if he was soothing the baby and he said " yes the baby needs to call down because she is nearsighted".  Evelyn and William proceeded to pat my belly to calm the baby.

Week #17

Week#: 17 This week baby is...

Total weight gain:I stopped weighing myself though i had already gained at least 15 lbs last time I went to the doctor and despite the walking I'm not sure Disney helped.

Stretch marks: None that I have found.

Sleep: Still needing a lot but getting my energy back! I did okay at Disney World!

Best moment this week: getting some much needed exercise running around Disney World.

Movement: nothing this week but we were so busy running around that i wouldn't have felt it anyway.

Food cravings:none really though I've been really into eggs for breakfast. and I ate a lot of french fries this week.  Will need to watch my weight as I really am gaining too fast I just need to cut out the junk.

Symptoms: The ligament pain in my left hip though it is not too bad, mostly at night.  Some cramping Thursday - I think I over did it. It was not too bad.  I also still have my infection, grumble...

Labor Signs: None.

Belly Button in or out: getting flat.

What I miss: Picking up and carrying Evelyn and William, especially this week while we were at Disney.

What I am looking forward to: Holding my baby and exercising again I think I will start this upcoming week.

Weekly Wisdom: Take it easy, take it one day at a time.  You will have good days and bad days and that is ok.

Feelings: Mostly happy though I did cry at Disney World. 

We have movement!

I think I felt the baby move today!  It was subtle and quick but I think it was the first movement felt! I am looking forward to much more.
