27 Weeks and Counting Down

27 Weeks and Counting Down - 95 days to go

According to my last post I was at the 16 week mark. Well now, I will be 27 weeks on Tuesday. Only 95 days to go. That seems manageable right?!?

So much has happened in the past 12 weeks.....

1. We officially sold our house and moved in with my parents.
2. We haven't found a new house to live in so my wonderful in-laws have agreed to let us start our family of 3 in their basement while we are building our house.
3. We are currently in the process of getting bids for our house and finalizing the plans for the build.

I guess that's about it, but when I think about it, life has been really stressful!

We will find out next week after our 28 week follow up ultrasound to see if anything has changed from the previous ultrasound.

I'm starting to feel more out of breath and my belly is tight constantly. I have eliminated all exercising because it causes too many contractions. I'm missing my runs and even walking the dogs.

I was cleaning the house last week and had to stop after 10 minutes of picking up clothes because my belly was hurting so bad.

I'm hoping I don't have to be put on bed rest for financial reasons but I only feel good when I'm lying on the couch.

I'm on a stretch of nights next week so we will see how that goes. Thank goodness for air-conditioning these past few days. I don't know how some people can do it!

I will try and upload a few pictures of the belly soon.

I plan on making this healthy version of puppy cow for a bachelorette party this weekend. Check it out and let me know what you think :)

Stay cool and keep active!

Infertility

So once again I attempt to start my blog on weight loss. However, I've entered a new chapter in my life. Babies. Well not quite yet, but we'll get there. Here's some history..... I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March of 2010, only 3 months after getting married. I had a laparoscopy and had 5-6 different areas. I continued treatment with birth control overlapping each month and when that didn't seem to help the symptoms I started on Lupron. For those of you that are familiar with this product you can attest to its wonderfulness as well as its downfalls. The Lupron put my body into menopause at the age of 24 :) Fun Fun fun!!!! On the first round of shots I did not have a hormone replacement pill which I wish I would have. I had shots every month for 3 months then took a break. In June I had a 3 month dose of Lupron again. The pain continued and I had a second laparoscopy with a tubular dye study in September, and here we are. Our game plan...... My OB/GYN wants to t

Flashback Friday (to two weeks ago...)End of Semester.....I made it

Every year at the start of the semester I say that I'm going to be better about blogging and updating. Well, once again, I've failed to post anything since September. Things tend to get a little crazy 4 weeks after the start of the semester and then I look back and think, "Where did the time go?" As always, I'll give you a recap of how the semester went down.... This post has been a long time coming. Again, I spent countless hours on the road four days a week. It was becoming exhausting, and routine. I was getting burnt out. But the thing about this semester is that there was light at the end of it. I was going to be free from driving 200 miles a day, and be in my student teaching placement, hopefully somewhat close to home. The amount of stress that I endured this semester was more than I thought I would have to manage. Between practicums, night classes, working at the winery, the single mom thing, and then a relationship on top of it all, I'm not sure ho

Does Size Matter?

I have always struggled with accepting my body size and shape. I have never been Barbie thin. My entire life I have always been bigger than my friends, teammates, you name it. It has been an issue that I've struggled with for a really long time. Right after my divorce I was super thin and was working out and teaching group exercises 3 times a week...I loved the way my body looked but I still wasn't happy. While life and stress makes my weight fluctuate, I still am active and enjoy working out. I cannot wait for the gyms to open back up so I have a place to go and lift. I've been running, and even bought a new pair of running shoes. But this post isn't really about me, it's about the idea of what others see my body as. I have been open to dating recently and have been on a handful of dates...none that really amounted to anything. There was one, but it was a total friend zone kind of 6 weeks. Great person, just not the right fit. I had a date this weekend and i
