Anothah update--but mostly whining.

There are a few things to update on. I am now 28 weeks,but i feel like i'm like 35. i knew i should have lost weight before getting pregnant. i have NO energy, my body apparently wasn't ready for this. i'm gaining weight like crazy, hopefully most of it is water so that i can instantly lose it after. I have lots of pelvic pressure, which doesn't feel good. i didn't have that with jax, at least not til the very end if i did. when i go on walks, i get these sharp pains in my sides. thats not very fun either. being overweight sucks! it causes crappy problems. its hard  to move around, and breathe, and do ANYTHING! blah. i am already pretty sick of this. i was okay when i didn't feel like  a big , useless blob, but now barely into the 3rd trimester, things are getting crappy.


I went to Labor and Delivery last monday because i thought i  was leaking amniotic fluid. thanks to my awesome friend kim for being there to instantly help me out and drive me there (we're STILL doing the one car thing--super fun) Turns out i was just peeing my pants and  not knowing it. Awesome. i guess the baby is sitting on my bladder, and i can't help it when pee comes out. it doesn't happen all the time, so thats good.

Yesterday I had an appt,  and everything is fine with baby. I'm gaining lots of weight, but this was expected. i don't have pretty pregnancies, AT ALL! all i want to do is eat and sleep, all the time. and not exercise--no energy and its painful.

last night, my left boob started hurting pretty bad. especially if i don't wear a bra. only the one hurts. i called the doc this morning, and they are stumped, because i don't have a fever, which would mean an infection-mastitis. i feel okay. i know what an infection feels like, and i don't have any of those symptoms . yet anyway.

i don't sleep well at night anymore, so i just wanna take naps all day. its a bad cycle i've created. i wish my mom was closer so she could come cook, clean and entertain jax for me! wouldn't that be nice! i'm no good at being a grown up. i just want someone to baby me.  Andrew is doing clinicals for 3 weeks. the days he's not doing clinicals , he's working at walmart DC 12 hour shifts. he's got a lot going on. then he comes home to a bored jaxon and a whiny me.

i can't really do photography anymore. i can't move around like i used to, therefore can't do as good of a job as i know i'm capable of, and that drives me nuts! especially when we  could really use the money!


there are some good things. like jaxon usually lets me sleep when i want-- USUALLY. not today though. he'll watch cartoons or movies. he's pretty independent now, so thats a blessing. he's very demanding though, and can't entertain himself too well, so that's not too cool. andrew helps me out a lot when he's here. i can't imagine being a single mom! i'd rather be shot! and i have some really sweet neighbors and friends who are always willing to help me.

today's just bad because my boob hurts, i have this crappy pelvic pain, the sun isn't shining, i feel big and awkward and lazy and hungry, and i just want a freaking nap!!!

  1. OH Alecia, I am so sorry. I am having the no energy thing too and I am so ornery. I am getting annoyed at the dumbest things. I feel pretty big too right now...I think to myself "how can I possibly stretch anymore" but I know it will and I will deal with it. I hope you get your nap and that Jax is cooperative for you. It is definitely different having the second child because one is already running around destroying everything and eating very unhealthy things because I have no energy to make him food. Hope you get better soon and not too much longer girl.

  2. We are like at the exact same spot in our pregnancies! I'm having pelvic pain too and my doc said it sounds like the scar tissue from my c-section is ripping as my belly stretches. Kind of scary sounding but normal...maybe that could explain what you're feeling? Not too comforting but I always like to know why I'm feeling something, ya know? Anyway, we're in the home stretch now! Just gotta stay busy (without wanting to collapse into bed. Haha).
