Half-Way!

Lookie that cute little ticker down there. We now have a little cantaloupe marking the half-way point of this pregnancy!  That's pretty cool.  I won't say it's going so fast because I do already sorta feel like I've been pregnant for a long while. Just dealing with pregnant thoughts and pregnant issues has made this pregnancy feel long.

However, I'm super excited that I am feeling this little one move stronger and stronger each day. This is the motivation I need to remember that all this work is more than worth the effort.  I still continue to fight headaches, waves of nausea, and now the braxton hicks are starting up.  Some days I just can't do much more than rest still. But, I am having other days when I can be up, moving, and accomplishing good things.  I still wonder how much of my feeling "off" has to do with my blood sugar. 

Either way, I'm taking my oldest and youngest, the little cantaloupe in there, out for a morning of errands.  It will feel good to get out of the house, get some fresh air, and have a break from the daily grind.  I'm also hoping to get a strong start on some purging in the house today to keep up with my challenge.  Both of those will keep me active, which I desparately need right now.  All this feeling yucky leaves me so lazy.  And that, in turn, increases the yucky feeling. I hate that cycle. Please give me the strength to push forward and break it, Lord!

And, hey! I just had another thought. Half-way means that I only have another 5ish months before I can get back on the weight-LOSS track.  Wow. That isn't so far away.  I guess now I'm starting the uphill climb out of the valley. :)
