Feeling a Bit Better...Ish.

This may sound crazy, but I do think this weekend's emotions were put on quite a bit by hormonal pregnancy loveliness, but I also think it was a bit of an attack on us. James pointed this out when he was telling me how refreshing and GOOD it felt to have fellowship with other men of God. He said once he got there he could tell the attacks on him trying to not get him to go (like us not seeing each other too much since last Monday). I reminded him it surely didn't help me this weekend at all. Or the fact that I hadn't heard his voice since Friday. Or know that he had good service....He said he didn't call because he didn't want to wake me up. Well as little as I slept, I probably would have been up!!

It also helps that he didn't use all the money that he took with him ;-) LOL And the fact that he brought home pizza (that I had been craving since the weekend). He also had many stories to tell me, and it felt wonderful to sit face to face to someone and talk, even better over pizza! Even better that he want to try feeling little man move (even if he was being stubborn and wouldn't!).

Then last night came, I called into work due to a massive headache, which I am sure was from lack of sleep. Not from lack of trying. I think the third trimester effects that many warn you about (lack of sleep, inability to get comfortable, pain when little big baby moves, acid reflux) may be here a bit early. I have been struggling to get comfortable, when I am comfortable, little man isn't. It takes forever to fall asleep, and then I wake up because I have to pee, or baby thinks it is play time, or acid reflux makes me wake up gagging/coughing due to the wonderful taste of vomit in my throat. That has been my weekend. And my last night.

Insert Zombie-like face. 

I am feeling a bit LOT better today compared to this weekend. 

Little guy's movements have gotten stronger. I swear sometimes it feels like he is kicking me in my butt with how hard his kicks feel (it makes my muscle twitch sometimes!). And when he decides to stretch on my left side, feel the pain baby! I can tell there isn't as much room on left as there is right, and boy does it hurt. 

Today's plan is to do laundry, catch up on homework I planned on doing this weekend, and go pick up some tomatoes to boil and put in freezer bags for use in chili & such this winter. I have never canned, and it is easier to just freeze them for us. 

Eating hasn't been this best all weekend (and it hasn't been today either...). And I have a feeling the scale is going to show it. I truly am an emotional eater, and my appetite in general has been higher. Thank goodness God had me craving fruits last night instead of things not so good for me! (YUM to apples and grapes, I even wanted canned peaches but we are out) I weighed 199 Saturday after nap. Currently: 202. Oiy. Water weight I am sure is a bit of it. I need to get this under control!

Ok I need a big glass of water and to think about starting a load of laundry so I am out of here. 

But before I go I wanted to leave a couple shout outs....
