Five and Half Months

Tomorrow I will be 23 weeks pregnant. Wow. Doesn't seem real. Sometimes it does not feel like I'm pregnant, then the baby kicks. I went to the mall yesterday with a friend. I thought I did pretty good. Walked for about 3 1/2 hours. Didn't realized I would be paying for it later. My back was so sore. I also had to walk the dog since Jay had to go to work. Towards the end, I was rubbing my lower back. It was time to go in. I bought a Pre-natal Pilates video at the mall and tried to do some of the exercises later that night. It helped a little. I should've realized how weak my pelvic muscles were. I get sore there when I'm sleeping on my side. Poor Jay has to deal with me (sticky with Stretch Mark Cream) tossing and turning with my Snoogle. It's been getting very crowded in the bed. The Snoogle seems like a fence in our bed. It's Jay, the snoogle, then me. In a way it feels lonely, like I'm sleeping by myself...hello over there! Women say they can't wait to eat all kinds of food that they were denied in pregnancy. I, on the other hand, can't wait to sleep on my back and get rid of the snoogle once the baby is born.
