Week 6

This week has been difficult. I have felt SOOOO sick. Sicker then I ever remember feeling with Emma, but I don't know if that just because I blocked it out or if it really is worse. I am hoping it won't last all that long because right now. I am really not feeling good and it lasts ALL day!


Weak: 6

What I love: Summer, kids, husband, last pregnancy, good times with friends. GOOD FOOD! Even though I can't really enjoy it right now. 

What I hate: Feeling sick! GAH! I have a lot more sympathy for people who have constant, nasty MS ALL THE TIME! I didn't exercise today because I was so sicky. It also makes it difficult to be my normal self when all I want to do is huddle in my bed. 

What I miss: Feeling awesome! :) That's all. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: I think having made the announcement so I don't have to pretend to be fine when I want to fall asleep at my desk or when I feel to puky that I just want to be in a fetal position. It will be nice to not have to be secretive. 

Worries: Not too many. Though I'm a bit worried I'm so sick this time because it's twins.... :) The chances are VERY low and I REALLY hope it's not.  We'll see in a week and half. 

Symptoms: SICK! Bloated beyond the beyond, gassy, lots of pimples, praise the Lord, and TIRED! So ya, lots. 

Mood: Good other then wanting to hide in my room forever till I feel better. 
  

Sleep: Excellent. Could sleep ever day all day and then all night too. 

Movement: Nope. 

Bra Size: A. Still and hopefully for a while. 

The belly (and the button!): The same, though maybe a bit more sticky out from all the gas!

Wedding rings on or off: On. 

Weight: 141! 

Measurements: Chest: 35 Waist: 28.75 Midsection: 32 Hips: 39 Thighs: 21.25 

Exercise: Not good this week. Three times. I took Monday off, because I couldn't motivate. Did CF on Tuesday and ran 2 miles. Then Wednesday I ran and did Double unders. Thursday did a WOD and ran. But then Friday, I went to Fbx with my IL and Saturday we got home too late and then today I felt too disgusting to get my butt off the bed. Next week. I'm going to have to see if it helps or makes the nausea worse to exercise.  

Eating: Good. But because I've felt yucky, I am eating even less then I would have been.

Week 5

This has been a really busy week. Wow. Tired and have no energy. We went to Fbx on Friday and shopped forever. It's really amazing how much you can spend on clothes for kids. I find it depressing that I bought three items of clothes a few things of makeup for me and the rest of the hundreds spent was clothes for the kids. Oh well. I also really want them to have nice clothes and not look shabby.

Weak 5:

What I love:We went to the park this week with the kids and we are going to the circus this next week. I love doing fun things with my kids. Making memories with them and making even a simple trip to Fairbanks a spectacular adventure. I love being able to sleep a lot. Even though I also hate how tired I am. Building a human is intensely exhausting. 

What I hate: I had a bit of a panic attack last night thinking about late pregnancy. The sensation of your body completely taken over by something else, is not pleasant to me. I hated not being able to move and everything being difficult and even sleeping sucking. I was like, "ahhhhh! I don't want toooOOO!" But then I talked myself off the ledge and things were once more OK. 

What I miss: Nothing. :) 

What I’m looking forward to the most: Being finished with the process of having kids. 

Worries: Labor. What's not to worry about? How bad is it going to be this time? How much is it going to hurt?  Etc. etc.. YEP. Still. Though I had some worries about cramping this last weekend. It's always in the back of my mind that I could have another ectopic and really have major issues, and especially this time because I haven't had an early ultrasound. 

Symptoms: Very tired and an intense  sense of smell. 

Mood: Not bad. A little short here and there, but not anything out of the ordinary. 
  

Sleep: Excellent. 

Movement: Not for many moons. 

Bra Size: Barely an A. 

The belly (and the button!): Other then the stretched out skin from last time. It looks great. :) 

Wedding rings on or off: On of course. 

Weight: 142! Woohoo! The clean eating is paying off! 

Measurements: Chest: 35 Waist: 28.75 Midsection: 32 Hips: 39 Thighs: 21.25 Same. 

Exercise: Doing fine still, though I'm a bit depressed at how slow I am at running at the moment. I would love to be able to run a couple races this summer, but I just don't have the stamina that I have normally. I've been doing 8:00 - 8:30 min miles and last winter it was 7:10 - 7:30 min miles. Oh well. I keep reminding myself, it doesn't matter how fast I am as long as I'm still active. 

Eating: Doing pretty good, though going to the Drive In and fairbanks, kind of derailed a couple days. But I'm keeping it under control.

Dear Reader

Well, imagine my surprise when I was told today that some people that I know have been reading this blog. :) So, yes you know that we are expecting. We haven't told all of our family yet, so discretion would be appreciated.

We also are not planning on announcing until after my initial appointment to see everything is fine. That will be June 11, so if you could possibly keep this under your hat, or as much as you can, that would be appreciated. I don't like announcing early, because I've had a miscarriage and it sucks to have to tell everyone about it.

Thanks!

Tuesday WOD

12 min AMRAP

3 - power snatch 2 rounds 75 lbs but felt sloppy, so then did the rest @ 65 lbs

15 wall ball 14 lb ball

8 rounds

Then worked on double unders, and toes to bar on the rings.

Also ran 2 miles. Outside in the heat, very slowly. 

Friday WOD

I really didn't want to do anything today but I walked into the gym and picked a work out and went for it. 

Row 1000 meters

50 thrusters 45#

30 pull ups

I managed to do the pull ups unassisted killing, which means I am getting stronger. 

11:37

I was probably going a little too hard, but I haven't told anyone I am pregnant yet, so I don't want people to get suspicious. 

Then I ran 2 miles. It was hot so it was slowwwwww.....

And it begins again. Week 4

Here I am. Pregnant again. Yippee! I am excited and really glad that it didn't take a long time to get pregnant. And I am happy that this will be my final pregnancy journey.

Week: 4

What I love: Summer. It's here with all it's green glory and sunshine drops. LOVE IT! I love taking the kids outside and laying in the sun soaking up the rays. I love the smells of green things growing and the sound of the leaves in the trees. I love having outside adventures with the kids as we've been inside for ssooooo loong! 

What I hate: Mosquitos. And the fact that my sister did not get pregnant this cycle. I was really hoping this would be it for her and we could do this together... <sigh>

What I miss: Nothing yet. It's so early that nothing is missing from my life yet. Movement is still easy, nothing hurts, I'm not feeling alcohol deprived. I'm not sick so not missing drugs..... everything is awesome :) 

What I’m looking forward to the most: Baby and being all done having kids! 

Worries: Labor. What's not to worry about? How bad is it going to be this time? How much is it going to hurt?  Etc. etc..

Symptoms: A bit tired, and dizzy now and then. 

Mood: A bit pissy, but nothing too bad. I am really determined not to be the raging bitch I was last time in the first trimester. 
  

Sleep: Excellent. 

Movement: It's the size of a poppy seed, so ya, I don't feel nothin'. 

Bra Size: Barely and A. LOVE that. Oh well. 

The belly (and the button!): Other then the stretched out skin from last time. It looks great. :) 

Wedding rings on or off: On of course. 

Weight: 143 not where I wanted to start, but I am actually still more fit then I was before Emma, so oh well. 

Measurements: Chest: 35 Waist: 28.75 Midsection: 32 Hips: 39 Thighs: 21.25

Exercise: Doing great. Running about 5-6 times a week with Crossfit at least three times. Will probably drop running back when things start to hurt. 

Eating: Really well. Really focused on eating well and getting enough protein. I am not cutting anything out except Dan & I have been cutting way back on the amount of popcorn we have at night. We are trying to have protein drinks and that's about it for a evening snack. That should help keep the weight gain sloooowww.
