29 Weeks

I am 29 weeks pregnant.

I remember the beginning weeks and how stressful and emotionally unstable they were and now here I have 11 weeks left until I reach full term.

This has been a really long pregnancy. I’m really looking forward to the day that I finally get to hold my little man and begin that portion of the journey. I’m trying to really enjoy every moment that I have left, but at the same time…I’m really looking forward to not ever being pregnant again.

I say that now, but watch me be all sad and upset in a while.

I’m feeling very emotional these days. I’m feeling emotionally fragile and like I want to retreat into a protective safe zone and just ride out the remaining weeks.

I’m finding it hard to do things that I normally don’t have issues with and the things that I normally struggle with – feel completely overwhelming to me. I hate it.

I’m unsure why I’m feeling like this, and I’m even more unsure what to do with myself.

And so…….I try to continue to put one foot in front of the other and I go to my exercise class and I plan my meals and I attempt to cross things off my list and well…..I’m just trying to make it through on a day by day basis.

I desperately need to book an appointment with my chiropractor as my left hip is hurting something fierce. Other than that, physically I’m feeling pretty amazing. I am heading into the last weeks and am feeling a lot more sick and hurling more than I had been (YUCK!) but I’m feeling feeling pretty mobile and typically have the energy to make it through the day without feeling like I’m dying.

The roughest thing right now is just the whole emotional/nasty/feeling like jello or whatever……..but, this too will pass – won’t it?
