When I was young, I was… well… active. Yes lets say active. I rode horses if not every week, then multiple times a month. I jumped off fences and trees, I sat funny. (Weird I know but it really messed up my knees, or so my doc says..)
I dislocated my knee, rolled my other knee, bulged 2 disks in my back, pulled a ligament, and some fun other stuff.
I was an girl who wanted to be a boy, so I competed with boys. (Which is really funny cause I sucked as a boy… lol)
I never thought anything of it, I enjoyed my adventures and coming home scaring my parents with stories of how I fell off a horse and hit a tree… or a fence… or another horse…
Then I got older, and older. And then I got pregnant. Now I am wishing that I was more careful growing up!! That sounds horrible because you should never have regrets. But I regret riding that horse that scared me, who would buck me off. I regret competing with my friend James to see who could jump off the higher objects. Because now that I am carrying extra weight, and a little baby in my tummy my back KILLS!
I dont sleep as well, because my back hurts no matter what. I cant sit for to long, because my back hurts, I cant walk for to long because my back hurts. Golly!!
I was put on short term disability because of my back pains. And my back pains!! If it wasn’t for my amazing sammy love giving me rubs and drawing my warm baths I probably wouldn’t be typing here today!
It makes me nervous because after the baby is born, yes I will loose the weight, but I will still have to carry around a kid all day! That makes me very nervous. I hope that as I get stronger my back pain will decline. But one can only hope!!
On a happy note. I am 34 weeks! I have now gotten a way cute pack en play bassinet, a stroller and car seat and some very very very VERY cute baby clothes. My baby shower is this weekend and we are going to have lots of fun!! I am so freaking excited to be a mom. I know its going to be hard and I might cry some days, but its going to be amazing!!
I am most excited to see my wonderful caring sammy love as a daddy!! Because if he can be so cute and loving to me, I can just imagine how he is to his off-spring!! Well talk about baby showers, I need to go decorate for mine!!
