was walking three long blocks, uphill, in the snow (ok, with snow melting nearby), with a 38 lb 2.5-year-old boy on my shoulders, and an approx. 1.5 lb fetus in my belly.
Really just wanted to say I’m still here, and a lot has been going on. I’m inching toward my due date. We are dealing with a lot of financial matters, including the huge challenge of selling our house in a not-so-great market. We’ve gone sledding — the first time for the boy, and the first time for me (though I didn’t actually sled, due to pregnancy awkwardness.). And each of these sentences could be a blog post of its own — a lot more interesting than this one — but time has definitely been tight lately.
So far, I’ve gained around 12 lbs in this pregnancy, which isn’t terrible. I looked back in the archives and see that, by this point in my last pregnancy, I had gained 19. But I also started out lower, last time. I know I’m eating better this time, generally, and I’m gaining at a slower pace, and I’m walking more. I just desperately want to avoid that super-bloated misery that plagued me late in my last pregnancy. Only 14 more weeks to go. Wow.
14 weeks to go!?! unbelievable! sounds like you have sooo much going on, but glad you checked in to blogland!
Hi there! It’s crazy how quickly time passes these days – about 12 weeks for me now, I believe. I hope you’re ok and that your boy feels a bit more comfortable in the daycare now!
