I'm 6 months pregnant, it's the middle of June and it is already miserably HOT and HUMID. I'm no stranger to this type of weather, but I don't think anything could have prepared me for the uncomfortableness factor being upped quite so high when you're with child.
I was outside for maybe 15 minutes yesterday and my knees, ankles, feet/toes were swollen for the remainder of the day. August, I dread you.
I've had braxton hicks since week 20, (which isn't a bad thing) but lately they've been painful, which isn't so much fun.
I'm really feeling my physical limitations this time around. It's frustrating because I've never felt like I physically couldn't accomplish some sort of every day task due to pregnancy. Last night I had two dishes in the sink to wash before I headed up to shower and sleep, and I literally did not have it in me to finish cleaning the kitchen. It made me feel like such a lazy bum, and I probably would have dwelled on that a bit longer if I hadn't fallen dead asleep by 8:45. :)
This past week must have been "village idiot vacation week" and they all came to Nashville to tell me how fat I look. I think maybe seven different people (some strangers, some just acquaintances) approach me and ask if I was pregnant, because they didn't want to assume that I was pregnant if in fact I had just gained some weight/carried heavy in my stomach. And I quote: "Because some women just tend to be heavier around the middle...ummm...uhhh."
Really? The only women I've seen look like they're carrying a ball in their stomach and look normal sized everywhere else have been pregnant 100% of the time. No question.
Why would you ask such a question?! EVER?
(Please excuse the sudden outburst...it must be the hormones talking.)
In other news, I think the heat is getting to all of us. Poor sleepy Liam could barely get through lunch today without nodding off...
Oh! Crazy pregnant lady alert: I've decided we (read: Jake) need to re-paint our master bed room. We painted it a couple years ago and it's just never really sat well with me. I've tried and tried to decorate and have failed miserably. Enter: grey paint. Anyone have a favorite shade/brand/color? The hunt is ON!

The boys loved it when I would build a fort for them, they loved that they felt like they were camping out... yeah, it's a mess to clean up, but they would play in it for hours! God Luck!
ReplyDeleteWell, it is not much cooler lugging an infant around! Soon you'll have a sweet baby and it will all be worth it, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteThird pregnancies are harder, aren't they? People don't realize. I get it though...and feel your pain for sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you're entitled to bash anyone who mentions your size. Maybe carry a hammer around. :)
You should follow my sister's blog. She will be posting "Fun Things to do with kids" on Tuesdays. She is very creative and probably will share lots of great ideas. :)
