I am enjoying feeling little feet inside, shoulders moving, and the delight that I'm not getting my ribs pounded with feet, or a head slamming on my cervix. Even hiccups are as gentle as can be.
But - oh - the other joys....
Walking often times hurts. I end up looking like limping hobbling animal. I try to take a step, and pain shoots down my right side stemming from my lower back.
Sneezing, if I don't find the angle of hold just right, I can end up peeing a bit. Not fun at all if my toe accidentally catches on something and I trip - I have to go change my pants. I can laugh about this with other mothers, especially mothers of multiple pregnancies. Oh what carrying these little guys can do to our bodies. I wonder if I'll ever get full and complete control back.
Turning over in bed. This is quite difficult! I'll lay there, debating if it's REALLY worth everything that it will take to turn over. Even when my shoulder is in pain from laying so long on one side, I'll still debate. Turning over, still feels like a big flopping weighted down fish out of water. It's not easy, and just turning over can hurt also.
And yet I smile, at my two daughters who find that sleeping in my bed is more enjoyable then in their own, so I'm squished into an area that's smaller then a twin size bed width.
Exhaustion. I haven't been doing too bad this last week or so, I've been pretty full of energy.....
.... That is until my body just isn't able to keep up with all that I ask of it (to be able to get the garden installed and going this year, cleaning up the property), and I end up waking up and attempting to walk to the bathroom.... everything above ends up feeling x10.
I feel like a HUGE blimp - not bad when I remember that it's because of this little munchkin growing away *grin*. But in the business of life, and the gentle little guy inside, I often still find myself forgetting.
Ah, a few of the many joys of pregnancy :P And yet I love it! LOL
