At the risk of jinxing it, I think I might finally be on my pregnancy honeymoon. (Ok, just knocked on all sorts of wood, threw some rice over my shoulder and said a silent prayer.)
Reasons? Oh, I'll give you reasons.
Sleep
The last 3 out of 4 days have been stellar. I don't even think that I woke up to go to the bathroom last night. And the one of the 4 nights wasn't even that bad - i still got 9 hours of sleep even with the one hour interruption. I haven't had the long 3+ hours of being awake for a couple weeks. Is it the honeymoon? Is it the Vitamin B6? Is it the body pillow? I don't know and I don't care.
Running
Running has progressively gotten easier these past few weeks. I don't know if it is because I am mentally used to running a bit slower or if my body just got used to things, but at this rate, I might be running the whole 40 weeks. JN asked me last night if I have gotten one of those back support things yet and I have to say that I don't have any back pain, leg pain or any pain whatsoever when I run. Perhaps this is coming in the future but for now, running just feels really good. (Go Boston Marathoners today!!) In the last week or so, I have also felt a return of energy!
Body Image
I'm not going to sit here and say that suddenly I am loving my pregnant body and all is ok, but I am liking it more now that I have an actual belly. It seems easier to accept clothes not fitting, looking weird in swimsuits when all the weight is focused on my belly and I don't just feel fat. I am also happy that it seems so far I am all belly - and that now that my belly is bigger, my boobs don't seem as ridiculous. Again, this is me saying this on a monday morning. I wasn't so full of self esteem during a saturday night maternity clothes shopping trip, but I'll save that for another time. Today is positive energy only!
Mood
Perhaps because of all of the above, but I feel more like myself lately. I am definitely in a better mood.
WOOHOO!
