Pregnancy Journal :: Week 32
6/17/10 :: day 224
Over the past week I have noticed that my stomach muscles and skin feel like they are stretched to their limit. They are not sore, but tired. It feels like I’ve been keeping my muscles tensed all day and finally relaxing them and feeling worn out in my abdomen, due to the tension I kept on them all day. The thing is, I haven’t been keeping them flexed. I wish I could that would actually feel marvelous. I love being pregnant, but when my stomach muscles feel worn out like this I long for the days of being able to flex my stomach muscles and use them to support my body.

(10:00am) I don’t know if it’s the pants I’m wearing today, but this little guy in my tummy has been wigging all morning. I felt him wake up on the drive to work. It was pretty cute.

Why do I have the feeling that the 1st week of having my own child will feel like the craziest most insane babysitting job I ever had? You know, the job where the baby won’t stop crying and you are afraid that any second the parents are going to walk through the front door and wonder why their sweet little precious baby is crying in arms of what they thought to be a capable teenager. The 16 year old version of me was quite good with infants, but there were those jobs when the baby just was FUSSY.
(11:18am) One of my favorite thing these days isn’t feeling my little guy move, don’t get me wrong…I still adore that, but feeling his little body parts under my skin. Like when he stretches or changes position I can actually FEEL him with my hand. It’s the closest I can get right now to touching his sweet soft baby skin.

(8:27am) I am already worn out today. Just getting ready this morning took it out of me. I walked to the cafeteria with Derek for breakfast and I was mildly sweating once we got to his office. Now I’m at work and just sitting in my chair is wearing me out. Geez!
