Happy Valentine's Day

The past two days have been a bit rough on me.  I tried to do some house cleaning yesterday morning and must have over done it.  I spent the better part of the evening in the recliner with a heating pad on my back.  I feel like I am 80!  It is amazing how something that used to be so simple for me now takes all my energy and leaves me more sore than a trip to the gym.

Another struggle I have been facing is overeating.  I have never been shy around food, that's for sure, but lately I can hardly get down a few bites before I feel like I ate a double portion.  It is the strangest feeling.  Worst part is that stuffed feeling sticks around for hours and hours.  It is the most uncomfortable feeling EVER.

Sleeping is also getting to be more difficult as well.  I wish I never read somewhere that laying on your back is bad for you while pregnant, because sleeping on my side it awful.  It hurts my hips and makes them ache all day.

So now that I have complained about eating and sleeping, two of life's biggest joys, I will stop and start talking about something happier :)  Dominic has turned out to be quite the ninja....he kicks me nonstop.  I have even started to see my belly move when it happens.  There is no better pastime then to sit quietly and watch until he starts the show.  I have read that hiccups are coming soon, although I don't think I have felt those yet.  It is the most amazing feeling to know there is something growing inside you...and you can feel it.

As for Valentine's Day, not much planned.  The husband did wake me with a "Happy Valentine's Day honey", but that it.  Not that I am complaining....I didn't do much better.  We shall see if any surprises are in store for me later.
