Hello

Hello Blog.

I miss you.

Someday I will be back to update you with pictures and stories.

For now though...... I've got nuthin'

It's official

Pregnancy is NOT fun anymore :(

Not that I ever thought it was a good time being pregnant. I hate to be the whiny type but seriously this pregnancy thing is not as easy as some people make it look haha.

I feel so guilty for being uncomfortable or in pain.

I feel like I am failing at my job and at home because I cannot give 100% anymore. Not only do I have this huge baby to carry around but she is killing my back and now my tear in my abdomen is getting worse and causing pain too. BOOOO HOOOO.

It is such a blessing to be pregnant and I am so thankful that I will have this amazing baby to love and care for, but I just wanted to vent that I feel useless right now.

Next week I am starting to work part time because I can no longer sit stand or walk for more than 5 consecutive hours without excruciating pain. However to people on the outside looking in I know it looks like I am just making an excuse to sit around and do nothing.

Why do I feel guilty. That is unfair. So what if people don't understand.... so what. I am doing what is best for me and my unborn child.

UGH the pain

Oh it has begun.

I can’t sit for a long time, I can’t stand for a long time, and I can’t walk for a long time. The pain in my back will not stop. Yesterday ( I reached a “mere” 27 weeks) I started having cramps early in the morning but went to work anyways. I suffered through an entire day of cramping and horrible back pain in order to make it to Jordon’s conference. Unfortunately I didn’t make it. I had to call to cancel because I was in so much pain and just needed to lay down.

I hate sounding like a cry baby but honestly I don’t know how people do it! How do you work a 40 hour a week office job when NO position is comfortable and everything causes you pain. BOOO.

I know that things could be a lot worse an d I am so thankful that everything seems fine with Jaida, but dang this back and cramping pain. I suppose I expected the 3^rd trimester to be bad but for some reason I just did not expect this.

Well that is all the complaining and whining I have for you today folks. Carry on…..

Hmmmmm....

What to blog about.

Not sure really, but I feel like I am such a blog slacker as of late. I read everyone else's blogs and they are full of pictures, or crafts, or fun stories and I just don't have the energy to keep up anymore. I do this a lot. I start things and then don't finish.

NO BUENO!

In January I had full intentions of blogging each little thing as I go along in this pregnancy and well.... that just not happening now is it LOL. I guess it is good news though that it has been so uneventful. Right now as I am approaching 27 weeks ( THIRD TRIMESTER) woooo hooooo .... I am finishing sending out all of my baby shower invites. I know I talked about it earlier **HERE** but man oh man do I get anxious having a party for myself. I am not throwing it for myself however, a couple friends of mine are. I just always get nervous that people are not having fun or not as excited as I am. LOL I am silly, I just want to party and enjoy it OK!!

alright well sorry but I am getting side tracked and keep leaving the blog, so I am done for today. :) BYE

26 Weeks

Yes... that's all ... 26 weeks.

Is it just me or does it seem like I should be right around at least 32 by now. HAHA. I feel bad saying that I am tired of being pregnant, but I feel like I am.

Maybe I am just tired. In general. Along with the back pain and the feeling like I am helpless because I have gotten so big ( oops my bad!) As you may have noticed I have stopped doing the entire questionare week by week.... I feel like not to much changes and when it does I can just blog about it in this "diary form" rather than question by question.

I had my second glucose screening this pregnancy ( first one was a precaution because my family is known for "big" babies... done at around 16 weeks) This one is the one I am supposed to have done between 24-28 weeks. Well I failed. Bummer!..........

***note to self:: If the doctor tells you that you need to go in for "labs" and you don't ask what they are for your best bet is to NOT eat Reeses and Skittles an hour before***

So, that being said, I have to go in tomorrow for my dreaded THREE HOUR glucose testing. Yep the one where I have to fast before hand then drink an extremely sugary cola type drink, then sit in the waiting room for 3 hours all while having my blood drawn a total of 4 times as well. BOOOO.

F +

If I was going to be graded on my blogging skills as of late I believe I might get an F+.

I think I may have officially failed the March photo Challenge as well, AND my weekly pregnancy updates.

To be honest I haven't really even been that busy so I don't have that excuse. The weekly count with the pregnancy was ok until I realized that not much is changing week by week anymore... I am getting a little bigger every week, a little more tired, and a lot more achy. ( especially in my back) other than that ...same ol same ol.

Maybe I am just not one for following rules and trying to remember to blog what week I am every Tuesday ( not to mention it seems to make things slow down when I realize I am ONLY 25 weeks along) as far as the photo challenge, I dunno I don't take many pics as it is and this was kind of easier in that way because it gave me something specific to snap a picture of... but I lost track... and now I am unmotivated.

I am just not feeling very bloggy lately.

I'm sorry.

Maybe in a few more days.... or maybe tomorrow.
