My mood while writing this blog: content

Latest preggo symptoms:

Sometimes when I go have a BM and once just during a potty I get alot of pressure and pain. It is weird like the baby is coming out or something. Its not constipation, no straining, I dont know if its a contraction cause it doesnt feel like cramping, hmmmm???

I've been peeing my pants more when I sneeze or cough hard due to severe allergy attacks this season (so fun) . It started early this year it seems, the grasses are extremely high and dont I know it. I have had to stay inside even though the weather has been beautiful to avoid taking allergy medication. The Dr says I can take category b meds like claritin or zyrtek but I dont trust them. They are not tested on pregnant women but pregnant rats so I can just hear'm 10 years form now saying "we used to tell preggo women that it was ok to take these meds but has since discoved they were causing autism" or something like that, so...... I'm really trying to refrain. I cant wait for July 4th when I think the grasses chill out around here, until then, I guess I better hit the treadmill!

Getting up from a lying down position late in the day and bending over for things is getting hard and uncomfortable. Bending over is just hard cause I've got this baby in the way, lol. I'm still not used to that, I wonder how much worse it gets? Anyways, I am not complaining in case it sounds like I am, I love being pregnant so far. I am hearing alot of complaints from other women on this site about various things that I dont have to deal with and I feel for them. I have it easy, I know and feel very blessed!

I have the day off today so Im gonna try to get some nesting done. I have so many projects and not so much time and energy (dont we all?) so Id better get to it.
