Week 24

This week has been busy, crazy, stressful, wearisome, painful etc. Kind of obviously since I am only now getting to posting this on Sunday night. I have thought of things to say on here all week, but of course now that I am sitting down in front of the computer, I can't remember any of them. Pregnancy brain right? And I normally do my totals for the week previous, but I can't remember them, so this week it's just going to be THIS week, if you understand what I mean. 

What I love: Uhm, this is a hard one this week as I don't feel like I love very much right now. I can say that I love my husband and I love my Jackson, and I love this baby. That is about as much positive thinking as I can do at the moment. 

What I hate: HURTING ALL. THE. TIME!!!!!!! Being pregnant, being emotional and a basket case. Saturday, I was so depressed I literally cried for about two hours. I don't get like this hardly ever when I am not pregnant and If I do, I go run or do something, but I feel horrible AND I can't run. So, ya... life sucks right now. OH and I HATE the fact that I still have 15 weeks of hurting left in front of me. 

What I miss:  I miss life as a non pregnant person. 

 What I’m looking forward to the most: No being pregnant. (If you are noticing a trend in my thoughts, yes you are right, I am SICK of being pregnant.)

Worries: I am not too worried about anything other then being able to continue taking care of my family, working and getting through this pregnancy. 

Developments: Uhm. Bending over is getting difficult. My arms are getting fat..... 

Mood:  Depressed most of this week. And discouraged. I hate that I feel this bad and I have SO much time left to feel even worse. 

Sleep:I wake up at four every morning for some reason, though I do fall back asleep for the most part. 

Movement: Yes, lots!

Bra Size: B cup still, though if I was honest enough, I would get out my C and see how it fits. But I don't want too. 

The belly (and the button!):  BIG! I don't remember it being this big this early last time. I will have to look at pictures. 

Wedding rings on or off: On for a bit longer. 

Weight gain:I haven't checked as I haven't wanted to know. I will when I feel brave enough. 

Measurements: Nope. Not today. Maybe this next week. 

Exercise: GAAAGH! I can't run anymore. Well, I can't run for longer then a couple minutes at a time right now, without being in A LOT of pain. So I have started doing intervals. And more weights and just about anything I can do to quiet my OCD mind that I MUST do something. I am going to look at some prenatal yoga and see if that helps the pain in my lower back/ hips, etc. I did manage to run nine miles and I did some great HIIT. So it wasn't a total loss, though I only exercised four days this week. 

Eating: OK, but I have lagged on the calorie counting thing. I need to get back into it as it really does help. I did't all weekend, but I will again tomorrow. 

The weekly pics: 

The baby is the size or weight or something of a ear of corn. Wow, it's actually happening. This baby is getting BIG! Oh and I had my prenatal check up last weekend and the baby was measuring a week ahead. Hopefully it's really just that I have a big uterus and the child is small and petite. :) 

And here I am at 24 weeks. Really 24 weeks as I took the picture on Thursday. 

Until next week, here's hoping this take a turn for the better!
