Pregnancy Thoughts


These pictures are from this week - 32 weeks pregnant. With 8 weeks left, I am counting down the weeks! This pregnancy has had its ups and downs. I was more sick in the first 16 weeks this time than I have been with the other two, which I thought would be better - not worse. But once that was over, I was doing okay! I have continued to teach my aerobic classes until just this week. It finally started to be too much. I was achey, and my joints were taking a beating. Its starting to be hard to go to sleep now. I always have that restless leg syndrome when I get pregnant, so I end up doing squats and stretches before bed to try and help it out. The last couple of weeks I have been having random contractions, which never happened to me before, but I suppose is normal. The doctor always has good things to say, and predicts I will have a smooth delivery as in the past. I try to look at pregnancy as a blessing, that we are able to have kids, and that I am always healthy. But with that said, lets get this done with..... :)

Hey I love that white shirt and you look really good! I know you how you feel! The last few weeks are the worst because it seems like it shouldn't be that far away but then it feels like it takes FOREVER! I just keep telling myself that it will end eventually, the baby can't stay in there forever right???

Your pregnancy pictures are so cute! I am 26 weeks and it is starting to get miserable. Sure seems like 9 months of being pregnant is like a year. It sure takes forever but I am sure that you can't wait to see your little girl!! Love your blog!

You look great, Nat! I can't believe you taught aerobics like that!! Hahaha. You are a better woman than me.
I get that restless leg syndrome in my pregnancies, too. While I am in a stretched position, Kiff massages those muscles being stretched (this sounds kinky but it's not - haha). My legs feel so much better and I'm able to fall asleep. I love being married to a physical therapist!

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who is ready to be done with this pregnancy! You look great and I am jealous you got to workout for so long...I had to stop at 5 months. I have had contractions since then, so working out wasn't so smart to do anymore. I too have restless leg too...so annoying. I guess the race is on to see who has their baby first! Good luck!

I really can't believe how little you look. I am sure the height you have really works to your advantage! You look great! Your blog is cute, I like the paper you put on.
