22 Weeks

Some days I feel like time is flying, others like it is standing still. One thing I'll tell you that isn't standing still is the growth of my belly! I'm really starting to feel a difference, trying to get up, or tie my shoes. Not that I can't do these things, just that it's noticeably uncomfortable when I do. Another problem is that my fatigue is starting to come back. I don't know if it's because my sleep hasn't been as continuous as it used to be, or just that my lack of exercise is catching up with me, all I know is it's not even 10am and I'm sitting here yawning away and trying to keep my eyes open.

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. I usually coach volleyball, and normally at a much higher level, lots of commitment etc. But this year I cut back to just one day a week in our mini vball program. The only problem is that it happens to run back to back with the new pre natal class that I'm starting tomorrow night. So I leave straight from work to go to the school, coach from 5-6, which makes me pretty tired to begin with, then head home, grab a quick snack and head to my fitness class. So funny, because normally this would be a very average night for me, but these days it seems very daunting and I'm sure it's going to be exhausting. I guess the good thing is that I have a Dr. appointment in the morning so I'm not going in to work until later, meaning I'll get a little bit of a sleep in which should help out. Wish me luck!

So they say this is the real end of the first tri, guess how I celebrated? Dry heaving while trying to floss. I know, that was pretty risky even trying, but I had a piece of popcorn stuck and I really needed too. Well I paid for it, lesson learned. I was also planning on making a dentist appointment for some day soon. But I figure if I can't handle my own hands in my mouth how will I handle someone elses? Better delay that one until a little later.

Another test for myself today, I'm going to run a high school volleyball practice. The school I helped out at last year made it to provincial finals and they've asked me to come in and work on a few things with the girls. Normally this would be a piece of cake for me, but since I am out of breath from walking up the stairs this morning it could be interesting. I'm just going to have to make sure I get some good food into me all day today and drink lots of water. Hopefully things will go well. I'm so excited for these girls and really want to help in any way I can, just hope I don't pass out while trying to help!

Had some crazy snow here on the weekend. I don't mind it too much right now because it's really pretty, and it's going to get warm and rain here the rest of the week so it will probably all be gone pretty soon anyway. We had fun out shoveling Saturday morning, it felt good to be outside and doing something active. Other than that we were pretty lazy all weekend. We did go to see the new Bond movie which was pretty good (the popcorn was the part I liked the best!) Oh and we did curl Friday night, I guess that's being active too. I'm not sure how long I'm going to be able to do that, hopefully a little ways through the winter anyway, we'll see how it goes. But we do have someone to take over my spot so that's a good thing.

So my plan to tell work at our meeting today fell through, meeting got canceled. Guess I'm just going to have to blurt it out. The pants are just getting so tight now, someone is going to say something soon anyway I'm sure. Plus I ordered some clothes off ebay! So I want to be able to start wearing some mat clothes soon, pants at least.

That's it, good bye first tri, and bloat and puking (hopefully), hello baby belly and elastic waist pants! lol

Once again...we wait

So the blood work came back normal and there's no need to delay anything. Which is good, since we had some pretty good timing this month already. And here we sit again in the 2WW. I just found out the DH is going to have to start scheduling his travel for work soon, so I am going to stay very positive about the cycle. If we are pg this time we won't have to worry about his travel throwing things off in the future.

No phantom symptoms really. I think the fact that last month I had no symptoms, probably because I wasn't looking for them (we had terrible timing) and that resulted in a BFP, so hopefully that will keep me from reading into things too much.

I'm excited that it's the fall so I'll be getting back into my regular activities. Volleyball starts this weekend with a tournament as well as my regular league on Sunday night. Hopefully I won't be participating in that much longer, but we'll see how it goes. And tonight is our second night of our 'Learn to Curl' session. We signed up for a co ed curling league with another couple and are taking some lessons now so that we are ready to go. It's going to be hilarious!

That's all, nothing too exciting. Just looking forward to trying to avoid that stockpile of HPT under my sink...I will not test early....I will not test early....

Not too early anyway!
