This isn’t easy… mentally…

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

So I feel like I’m becoming the size of a small whale and I can’t say I’m loving this part of being pregnant. I love the fact that I have a little baby growing inside of me. I love the fact that its half me and half my hubby. I love feeling him kick and seeing him having fun on the ultrasound but I’m not loving what its doing to my body. This is definitely the toughest part- other then waiting for him to arrive. I’ve never been a skinny girl and never for a second did I think I would be the type to just have a cute little basketball belly but GEEZ! I just feel bigger and LOOK bigger then I ever have in my life and its a tough feeling to get used to.
I did my 45 min of cardio this morning but for some reason it just doesn’t seem like it does as much as it does when I wasn’t pregnant. I like doing it because it makes me feel good and I stretch after but I just feel like a big blog of a person moving around. Another tough thing about all this is that my appetite has shot up so much. I get hungry.. and not just mentally hungry, but physically hungry at least every 2 hours. You would think I’m going to give birth to a football player! I saw a picture of myself from this past weekend and almost fell off my chair. Thank goodness I have a husband who loves me and knows that this baby weight will come off once our little man is here. Only 19 more weeks to go…
