FAT!!

Egh....

That is exactly what I feel today....FAT! I am getting so big that my stomach hurts whenever I eat. I cannot breathe very well either. Being pregnant is not always easy, man! I am tired all the time too and REALLY dont feel like exercising like I should be. Stretch marks are NOT pretty and are almost a guarantee! I cannot wait to get back down to my pre-pregnancy body....for those of you out there who think "good luck, it's gone, baby"....you just watch, it won't take me too long. See, most of you that think that probably don't know me all that well or haven't known me for long. You never saw me during my physical training and body building days...the way you train for that will be very similar to how I train to get back down to body.

I love being pregnant, but I hate having an "excuse" to be fat and lazy. This figure is NOT attractive to me, although Matthew seems to actually like it saying it is beautiful and feminine. What a great husband I have! Lazy.....well, it just comes down to now when i work out my stomach gets tight, my back starts to hurt and I am tired for about 2 days after any semi-extensive workout. Even walking kills me because my back starts to pull and my tummy is just so akward! somebody make it stop growing! Haha....wait, don't because Layla is big and healthy!

Anyway, just an update....nothing too exciting going on here. I signed up for Childbirth and Breastfeeding classes today. I am very excited. Also played some basketball today and STILL have my beautiful shot.....I hit MULTIPLE from behind the 3 and at the end I did my 10 shot free throw count and was still 9 for 10. There is a reason I held the county record 3 years in a row for free throws and set records at my school for 3 pointers! It's not all gone! It feels good to be REALLY good at one thing that even pregnancy cannot erase! haha.

On that happy note, I may even take a bubble bath tonight and just not look at myself in the mirror before bed so I think happy thoughts.

Oh and....Layla keeps getting the hiccups which is totally adorable. PLUS, yesterday I had a CRAZY big Braxton Hicks contraction that lasted a full minute and basically squeezed my stomach into the hardest knot I have ever felt. Kinda wierd, made my tummy sore afterwards! Not like anything I have ever felt before.....kinda like giving birth will be!

Ok, love and good night.
