We made it through the first trimester! and it has been a wild ride. While I am still struggling with nausea intermittently and the remnants of the colds and the flu, I am out of bed and on my way to fully functional. After some crazy rain, I woke up yesterday to bright sunny skies. I met a friend for aqua aerobics at the gym, and joined about 30 senior citizens to splash around in the pool. Truth be told, after such a long time of being immobile, this kicked my ass! But I smiled the whole time, so grateful to feel my limbs move against the water, ecstatic to be chugging along with all these other joyful people just moving their bodies. In my head I was saying things such as "Oh, hello bicep! Hello calf muscles!" It felt like a slow reawakening. And I loved that there was nothing "cool" about it.
Cameron is going out of town for work, Becca is coming to stay with me while he's gone (!!!!!!!), and I have an appointment today to learn how to manage the newest complication with this pregnancy: gestational diabetes.
Are you kidding me? Gestational diabetes! You are really having to work for this, but I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteDid you do aqua aerobics at 24 hour in Hollywood? I did that when I was preg with Weston! I loved it because their pool is salt water so it would make all my swelling go away so I would like, have ankles again for a half and hour after class! Highly recommended. Have fun with Becca!
p.s. love that picture. Love monkey Caden.
ReplyDeleteI could have written this post! I have been struggling with a nasty cold for over a month. What a pain! And I recently started water aerobics as well. I almost started crying at the beginning of the class because it felt so, so good to MOVE. I also pinned this photo of the monkey family. So sweet. How do I follow your blog? I don't see a "follow" button.
ReplyDeleteForget my last sentence. I just followed you on bloglovin, so that will work.
