Day #1

Day 1 - a photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

A photo of myself:
I don't know if it meant current photo... because prego = few current photos. So here is one from the summer time when my girl friends took me out for my birthday. OH, I wish I could go back to the warm weather of summer... and I wouldn't mind taking my body back either... looking at this pic makes me miss having a normal body instead of a prego one ;)

A description of my day:
OH boy where to begin. Today wasn't a good day. Maybe this wasn't a good day to start this 30 day thing because I feel like this gong to be a prego womans rampage... brace yourself!

It started out great! Irey normally wakes up between 6:30 on a bad day or 7:30-8:00 on a great day. Today she woke up and crawled in bed with me and we cuddled and slept till 9:00! HEAVENLY! We even had a really yummy healthy breakfast of chocolate chip waffles, my fav! Then it was time to get down to business and get some work around the house done.
It's been a CRAZY week so normally my clean house/laundry day is Monday but this week it fell on a Wednesday and our house was desperate! But no matter what I did, my prego body refused to move faster then a snail-like pace, my limbs literally felt like they were filled with lead. I was exhausted from doing dishes and one load of laundry. I kept laying down hoping that my energy would soon find me but I was a lost cause. I have a mountain of things to do around this house and not a ounce of strength or energy to do it, which made me feel super depressed and annoyed. Then we have the two year old, Irey, who was being a stinker. I found a pillow she had smeared lipstick on, hidden in my dryer. The pillow is now ruined. She refuses to leave my side and makes a mess every time I pick something up.
Oh yea picking things up...My back hurts... other parts of me hurt that I wont say on my blog but you can get the idea. I just feel so uncomfortable and in pain almost all the time and it's making me super ornery and tired. And when I think about how much I hurt, I think about how much longer I have to endure... 10 weeks, wow. But THEN I feel guilty because it's making me a mean wife and mom. SO what do I do... I sit on the floor and cry. Why? Because I am pregnant and overwhelmed with the silliest things sometimes... Well Irey saved the day and made me play games with her on the Ipad... then I started to feel better and got some of my motivation back with a little bit of energy. I ended up finishing the laundry, which I decided was an accomplishment with how I am feeling and I will just be glad that it's done and the kitchen is clean. While Irey napped I made homemade wheat bread... which weirdly enough relaxed me a bit.
Irey woke up super happy and that made my day even better. Brandon got home, always love that part of the day. I ran to the bank an walmart BY MY SELF, I needed the 30 minuets of alone time today! Then I came home and made dinner and took some dinner to my grandpa. He is so lonely since my grandma past away in September. I love our visits together, my grandpa is awesome, such a sweetheart! He made me feel tons better because I knew I could go home to two people I love very much. I can hold them in my arms and kiss them and tell them I love them. I even get to be a mom very soon to this little baby who will soon join our crazy house and be another person I can hold and kiss!
In the end, I had to suck it up and realize that today was just a bad day... call it pregnancy or motherhood or life, whatever, but either way at the end of everyday I have my little family... Isn't that whats most important anyways?!

Hang in there Kylie! This is the homes-stretch. It is also one of the hardest parts of pregnancy. My last ten weeks are always torture..to me and my poor family :/ I was thinking about you last night....I almost called you, but decided you were probably busy. But I think we need to try and get together! Maybe have dinner or something? Let me know what times best for you guys...maybe we can shoot for something next week. Hope you are feeling better!!
