Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Would you look at that! Right there! The last frigging word of the title! What in the blue blazes is that supposed to mean?! It couldn’t possibly mean that I’m 75% done with this pregnancy. That would be lunacy. Nonsense. Silliness incarnate.
You know what else is nonsense? The maneuvers this little guy can execute while confined by my physiology. He did this one move today (twice in a row!) where he jettisoned off my hip bone and up into my ribs.
How is this even possible, you ask? I don’t know, ask my fetus.
There’s really only one word for this week: Tired. Oh my gosh, am I exhausted. Only part of this can be blamed on the baby. Yeah, he wakes me up quite a bit at night with his adorableness, and my back makes things uncomfy as well. Really, though, sleep deprivation isn’t the cause.
If I had to guess, I’d say the reason I’m so tired is hormones. The hormones have shifted to a very mellow place, making me sleepy regardless of how well I slept or how busy I’ve been.
It’s gotten so bad that I pretty much need a nap every night after dinner, which means Wes watches a lot of movies with me passed out on his shoulder. He claims not to mind, and he pretends not to see when I occasionally drool on him.
Such a good man, I totally won’t even give him a hard time when we’re in the nursing home together and he saunters up to me wearing a fresh pair of Depends.
As for the baby, he’s over three pounds at this point and I, for one, believe the books on this account. Schlepping this little punkin around is a lot of work. Have I ever told you how fabulous sitting is? Sitting is great. Yay sitting!
I don’t sit all the time. I’ve been very good about doing my workout DVD and the yoga portion does wonders for my back. I was considering seeing a chiropractor, but the yoga has cleared up the issue nicely.
I also love the salsa dancing portion. It’s really loosened up my gait and I feel a lot more fluid when I walk. Exercise! Who knew it could make a person feel so great?! Ok, besides all the exercise evangelists I mean.

30 weeks already?
Did you post the link for the DVD, because I’m thinking it may just come in handy.
-Blanche, Seriously, can you even belive it?! You’re darn right the DVD could come in handy!!! Here’s the info: Leisa Hart’s Fit Mama: Prenatal Workout
Thanks Erika! I’ll have to put that on my wish list…
