Yesterday I felt like crap again and I think it’s my own fault. For weeks I’ve been whinging about feeling crap and the one time I start to actually feel good I whinge about that too!!!! So yesterday I felt like crap again although I think it was due to getting up at 3am for work. I’m really starting to notice that when I don’t get a good solid nights sleep the nausea is a lot worse.
Anyway Cam thinks it’s all pretty funny, although I can tell he’s just hanging for Monday and the 12 week scan as much as me, but mainly so I’ll shut up and stop stressing, he, he.
Yesterday after work Cam and I headed out and we’ve managed to finalize a lot of our renovation plans which is exciting. Now we just have to wait for it all to happen, it seems nothing happens in a hurry and I’m wishing we’d started the process a lot sooner. We also got approval from the bank to do all of our renovations and decided that we will go ahead and buy a brand new car! We’ve been discussing it all for a few weeks now and kept talking ourselves out of a new car although we’ve decided we deserve it and with the discount we get from holden (my brother-in-law is an engineer for holden so we are entitled to a discount) it will actually work out better than a lot of the 2nd hand options. SO EXCITING!!! New car and renovated house for the new addition to the family!
Anyway after a big 10 1/2 hours sleep last night I’m feeling pretty good again today. I managed to go for a walk up the hill and jog home and even hit the gym for some weights. I feel great although I’m noticing the effects of being pregnant. My heart rate seems to sit about 20-30 beats higher than it used to which looks like I’m working so hard when I’m training but I’m not really. Also since I haven’t done weights for a while it felt hard and I felt pretty weak. I’m hoping with some consistent sessions including from now on I should get into a good routine. I’ve gone and set myself a few goals for next week and determined to get back into a healthy routine. I’m also doing a BIG shop today and Cam and I are back onto the healthy stuff and stopping all the extras that have been creeping in.
I have noticed that other people encourage you to eat a bit of crap while pregnant. I am constantly hearing “It’s the one time you can eat whatever you want, enjoy!”. I actually find this a bit strange as isn’t it the one time you should actually pay more attention to your nutrition as a little person is relying on you solely for all it’s nutrients? I realise that it’s not a time to be strict and if I want a piece of cake I’ll have it but that doesn’t mean I need to have cake every day! I’ve found the last 12 weeks hard enough to deal with and feel like crap because I’ve just been eating whatever I can due to the constant nausea. I can’t imagine continuing on like this now that I’m feeling a bit better as I already feel uncomfortable and know it’s not from the baby but the lack of activity and the crap food I’ve been eating.
I suppose everyone is different but for me I’d like to at least try to eat really well and actually feel good during this pregnancy rather than just fat and uncomfortable.
Anyway time to have a shower after all my activity today, I’m sure I’ll be sore tomorrow (kinda looking forward to it!)
