Pregnancy Journal :: Week 16
2/25/10 :: day 112
The “girls” have been become more and more painful this past week. They don’t hurt like this during the day…only at night just after I awake. I’m feeling extreme soreness on the sides extending just below my armpits. It feels like I lifted extremely heavy weights the day before and am now sore from the workout. I wonder if this is the early milk production they talk about? And why is it only when I wake up and only on the sides? Strange.

I wish I could have the mid morning snack I just had this morning…every morning. Last night my sweet husband took me to one of my favorite taco shops,
Swanky’s Taco Shoppe. I ordered 3 soft taco loaded with toppings just about to the ceiling, but could only eat two. Which actually made me happy. I was happy because this meant I would be able to save one of the tacos for my mid-morning snack, today. Yippee!
I don’t know….maybe it’s just the shirt I’m wearing or something.
We are still working on scraping the old peeling wallpaper in the baby’s room. I wonder if that project will ever come to an end? We are almost to the ceiling…so maybe in the next week that portion of the room re-model will come to an end. Fingers crossed.

Oh my gosh, what is up with my body today? My legs are extremely tired, I have a slight sinus headache, I’m way hungry (eating through all my snacks), and it’s painfully hard to concentrate. I walked up a flight of stairs at work today and it felt like someone strapped sandbags to my ankles. It’s normally not that difficult to climb a flight of stairs, but today was a different story. I’ve been exercising a little, but I need to do a lot more. I feel bad that I’m not doing more. I wish I would get that second trimester energy everyone keeps talking about. I had a slight burst of energy on Saturday, but it has yet to return. It’s really not helping that we are working overtime this week. I thought we were finally in our slow season. I guess when you are not hiring people due to the slumped economy you have to make up for the downsized workforce somehow. I just wish it wasn’t with overtime while I’m pregnant. NOT FUN!
3/3/10 :: day 118
Today has been a fairly uneventful day in Babyland. I still haven’t felt anything move or kick. I can’t wait for that sensation. Derek seems to think that I will totally over-exaggerate the feeling of the kicks when they start. He think that I’m gonna go all drama like on him. Saying ohhhh…it really hurts like a knife cutting through my belly.
I’m not a drama queen by any means, but sometimes I like to over indulge in my complaining. I typically do it with a smile on my face. He always knows that I’m kidding around, but it’s still fun to act out. 
Our friend Ashley is being induced today. It’s so exciting. Little Nolan should be entering the world any time now. That kid is going to be adorable. I must admit…I am sooo jealous of their name. When I heard it for the 1st time I was in love. Of course, the 1st time I really heard the name (for a baby anyway) was when Ashley announced that they were going to name their little boy, Nolan. Ashley, forever know that I am totally jealous of Nolan’s name. I guess I better not tell that little story to my kid if it turns out to be a boy. It would go something like this, “Hey (kid who’s name is unknown) the name we gave you was a runner up name that we didn’t like as much as one of your buddies’ names. Sorry ’bout that!”

Oh, my gosh. I have don’t looked at your pregnancy journal in a few weeks and boy have I missed a lot. I almost cried when I same your baby bump. You are so darn cute. You guys sound so happy.
You know I have major jealousy issues about the pregnancy, though. My asst. manager at work is due in May, too. It is all around me. Must I ask again, “what is wrong with my husband?” Why won’t he give me another baby. Anyway, back to you. I am so happy for you both!!!!!!
