Yep, one of "those" days. the days where you don't want to wake up. or go to school. or even keep your eyelids open. I'm finally about 95% over my cold and last night was the first night I did not take tylenol before bed. I kind of wish I did. For the past 5 days I had been getting an amazing night of sleep. No waking up, no tossing and turning. Just pure uninterrupted sleep. Last night that was not the case. I had my usual 2 trips to bathroom with the extra 2 times of waking up just because I wasn't comfortable. On top of that, I woke up an additional two more times due to back and/or stomach pains. Not Fun! Luckily, I picked up the heating pad from my parent's house last night so when I woke up at night I just used that and it felt a lot better. Anyways, back to the point. An awful night of sleep + waking up at 6am for school was not going in my favor. On my way to school I started having ligament pains again and I wanted so badly to just turn around and go home but I knew I couldn't. Actually, there were about 4 times at school that I just wanted to up and leave. I love school and all, just not when I'm pregnant. That's a whole 'nother ball game that I don't want to play anymore. If I wasn't so dead set on getting my degree I swear I'd stop going. It's just been a bad day and I guess I needed to vent more than anything. I'm just glad that my little one is kicking up a storm right now when I am not in pain so I can actually enjoy the awesome feeling. Please feel free to send prayers my way- I could use them!
Yesterday marked mine and my husband's one year anniversary. I can't believe it has already been a whole year! Time has sure flown by way fast. For those that don't know, we have been through a ton this past year and my husband wasn't even home for all of it. Just for a recap, here's what went on:
2007
Sept 21- Married
Oct 9 - Sean deployed for 7 months
Dec- Started planning our church wedding
2008
April- Moved into our new apartment
May 5- Sean came home
June 22- Found out we're expecting
July 11- Church Wedding
Aug- Sean no longer working
Sept- Our anniversary
Although we've only been physically together for a little over 4 months, we still were married all this time and had to go through the same things, and some other harder things, that regular civilian couples go through. It's been a whirlwind but I've enjoyed every single moment of it and I'm thrilled to spend the rest of my years with my wonderful husband.
Now for a baby update: Munchkin is well, kicking/punching up a storm in my belly that's for sure! This kid really moves around a lot and makes sure I know it. Still no sickness, but since that's the case, my body has decided to give me incredibly horrible back and ligament pains. The past two nights have been horrific as far as pain goes- literally pushing me to tears. I'm guessing my body is doing some major shifting and my uterus is growing a lot right now since this is the first time I've had ligament pain that lasted more than 5 minutes and more than once a week. Hopefully I get a break soon. Other than the pain, I'm doing very well, just patiently waiting for our next appointment. 14 more days!
BIG DEAL!
For those of you who have been pregnant/are pregnant, you know. Those first kicks, thumps, squirms. They're just amazing. And let me tell you, I have quite the active lil munchkin in me! This baby LOVES to kick and punch mommy at night- and they're quite strong too. I figure that in no time hubby will be able to feel it too- maybe he can feel it now? I've been feeling baby now since I was 15 weeks, but I wasn't positive if it was the baby or not at the time. Everything is just peachy and baby is being a lot nicer to mommy now. Except now I'm dealing with the following symptoms:
- growing pains- OUCH!
- back pains to a greater degree
- dizziness.. still
- and this isn't exactly a symptom but since I can't lay on my back (or even reclining because of the pressure) I'm having one heck of a time finding positions that I'm comfy in
