Sunny 9 for 2006 August 10 (entry 0)

(3) Thu Aug 10 2006 13:37 No more excuses: It has been some time since I have been "sick", that is throwing up with this pregnancy. Thank heavens for that because with Lily I would have still been throwing up for 3 more weeks. I feel pregnant now in terms of the expanding midsection (not like I wasn't expanding ever since I was off contraceptives. I swear my body knows what is going to happen and starts to storage "energy supply" the minute Aaron takes his shoes off. I am just glad I didn't have to be pregnant the same time as Erin while we all knew there was a baby in there but couldn't tell until she was ohhh, a whopping 7 months pregnant.) and all the aches and pains associated with that. It became time that I needed to make some sort of effort to not get so huge and for me to start walking again. Plus, Lily needed to get out of the house and see the outdoors and not the next show on PBS. My dilemma was the heat, and it is not friendly here. So after picking Lorna up from her Cross Country practice at O.P. Schnabel Park I had an epiphany that I could walk on some of their trails that are stroller friendly and since it is in the woods, it is really shady.

I went to the library to pick up a book on tape. They didn't have much selection since the good books are always on hold and you have to reserve it online to get them, but one book caught my eye. It is called Raising Cain, Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys. Since I am having I boy, I thought I should check it out. It is pretty good so far and very eye opening. It has made me more aware. One of my biggest fears is ruining my kids and them having an unhappy childhood. Hopefully, good ideas and instruction like this will keep me from being too clueless of a parent.

Also, my calves and shins are really sore.

Yah, I know what it's like to be pregnant at the same time as Erin!!! I was showing like three or four months before her, yet due at the same time...how sad! I'm blaming it on being baby #2-supposedly you show sooner with subsequent children--that's what I'm sticking to--heehee.

I know, I felt sorry for you. And you didn't even get very big or show that soon either. I've never seen something like Erin though.

There was a really tall, thin girl in our ward who was like that. 7 months when she started showing. I work with a girl who is 7 mos right now and looks like she's about to pop! (of course she is having twins)
