Aches & Joy
Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 10:16PM After a long day at work, I woke up from a nap, and I realized I left my computer in my car. I can't really do anything without my Mona (except for take a nap), so I had to go get her. It was a long walk to the car. I tried to put on some decent clothes without a bra, but that turned out to be indecent. Putting on a bra seemed like a lot of work. I would have had to take off my shirt, put the bra on, and then later take the shirt back off, remove the bra, and then put the shirt back on. I put my bra on over my shirt, and covered it all with a jacket. It got the job done.
Bras aren't the only things that are bothersome these days. My back seems to always hurt. I move from my desk to the couch & back, but if I spend any length of time in one position, my back starts hurting. That's really disappointing during sleep especially.
Speaking of sleep, I need Marcus beside me to turn me over in the middle of the night, when I am illegally on my back. He's usually really good about it & holding me, which often gives me the pressure I need on my back to keep it from hurting. I'm very thankful for him.
Today, Isaiah seemed to really enjoy putting pressure on my bladder. Usually it will pass if I give it time, but not today. Oh Isaiah!
Despite these little aches & pains and the realization that I have 8 weeks left of them getting worse, I have actually started enjoying the pregnancy. I posted a belly picture on Facebook the other day and a friend commented something simple, she advised me to enjoy this time. I then remembered all of the times moms have said they missed being pregnant. My sister says it now. And I guess I'll say it one day.
So today, I stood in the sun and looked at my belly and held it. And I talked to my baby.
Even though I'm trying to struggling with my new business & bills and this horrid class in school, and putting on a bra is annoying and my back hurts, I will cherish these last 8 weeks of my special time with Isaiah.

The bra story is HILARIOUS. I have totally done the same thing. I feel like they have turned into giant sandbags when they used to be these cute little perkies so yeah, totally get it. You are right about enjoying the pregnancy... take the time to cherish it and enjoy the time you have with yourself. I am not that far ahead of you, but I always feel like it all went so fast and I wish I had a little more time (and then didn't;) You know what I mean... Best of luck to you in the next few weeks and the bladder thing does get annoying - I will tell you that :)
