I am so happy to be 34 weeks pregnant. I still can't believe we're going to have a baby. I'm ready to admit that I am experiencing some lower back pain. sigh. I was trying to be so tough. It takes me 30 minutes to walk around he block and it used to only take 10-15 minutes. Walking makes my lower back scream at me, so I just keep my exercise to stationary biking most days.
My blood sugars have been much better now that my insulin levels are the correct dose. I'm experiencing plenty of puffy hands and feet I'm hoping my blood pressure doesn't start creeping up. So far it's been great, but with all of the puffiness I have in my limbs I'm getting a little worried.
I don't know if most pregnant women experience bouts of insanity, but I would classify what I'm doing on February 22nd as completely insane. I am auditioning at Boise State so I can have the OPTION to finish up my music education degree there...either in the fall or in the future. I will be busting out some oratorios at 36.5 weeks pregnant. Heaven help me.
I might want to consider wearing some depends or something just in case? I hear bladder control starts to go towards the end of pregnancy too.
I have battled with myself for years- finish- don't finish- finish- don't finish- finish- don't finish. I just want the OPTION to apply for a a choir teaching job IF there was ever a need or an ideal situation for me to teach and I hate that I don't even have that option now because I'm not certified.
I'm not committing to going back to school in the fall but you have to apply and audition during this time of year to even have the choice, so I'm doing it.
People go to school while they have kids all the time, right? (as you all laugh at me and think to yourself, she's got no clue...)
Plus I don't really think motherhood is the time to stop improving yourself and I hope I always want to learn and improve myself at every stage of life! I have no idea how much I will want to do after I become a mom, but I want to have some options in case I feel like I need an outlet or other things to keep me connected to the outside world. Any other mothers out there have opinions on the matter?
A daily journey and journal for 1 year documenting my baby steps, my leaps, my backtracking, my progress and the struggle to reclaim my health.
My opinion? You're amazing and you're going to be a great momma. I agree that motherhood is not a time to stop improving yourself. In fact, I think motherhood itself is the ultimate motivator to improve yourself and is also a wonderful, terrifying refiner. Hang in there those last few, uncomfortable weeks. It's all worth it! :)
