Happy New Year!!
I will not be posting as much for the next couple of weeks because I’ve fried my motherboard and replacing it will take awhile. So I have to hog my daughter’s computer to make this post and check mail. But I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and Best Wishes.
This has been a bizarre year with my dad’s death, my own personal confusion with my feelings and the coming and going of people in my life and one whopper of a surprise pregancy. I end this year at around 18 weeks pregnant and while I’m happily in control of my stomach again, the baby is being VERY active. This child sits very low and I’ll tell you, feeling your bladder being kicked from inside is very strange. I can’t feel any outward kicking along my belly, but I can see movement when the baby decides to lay against the outside of my belly when I’m sleeping on my side. So now, I get to spend the next five months watching my belly expand.
I helped a friend move this week. I didn’t lift much, but I volunteered my van and helped with packing. Oh, was I sore though after those two days. She lives on a third floor apartment and the elevator is on the other end of the building. So mostly we just walked up the stairs. I got some great exercise, but between all the walking, packing, cleaning, driving, and baby sitting so low I’m sure you can imagine how sore my hips were. I felt like a barbie doll. You know how you can snap their legs off at the hips? Yup, that’s what I felt had happened to me by the time I was done. I felt good though otherwise, I was able to stay active for several hours and I haven’t accomplished that in weeks.
I wish I could say this year was a good year for me, but it wasn’t. Many things happened good and bad, but overall, I was not very happy this year. Mostly, I think, to my own dumb choices. So as we say goodbye to this year, I pray that your next year is a happier one. Thank you so much for reading my blog. *HUGS*
