My one and only resolution for this year is to be happier and more optimistic. I felt that was a simple enough goal that could be affected by the reaching (or not reaching) of the many other goals I have for myself. And for the most part things are going great. But there is one tiny thing that has been bothering me and I thought that maybe if I just took a few minutes and dumped it all out into the universe I could feel better about it and move on. So let's see if it works.
Now let me start by saying that I do understand that there are lots of women in the world who would love nothing more than to be pregnant and aren't able to and my heart does go out to them. I am not trying to take anything away from their struggles by sharing mine but boy this pregnancy stuff is rough.
Yesterday morning I was getting changed to go to the gym when Bella came into my room. I was just in my workout pants and sports bra. Bella says to me "Mom, you should be on that Biggest Loser show". Ouch!
Monday I saw the OB for a checkup and he starts off the visit by saying "alright, well you have already gained 15 lbs. so let's try to limit it to a 1/2 lb a week from here on out." Ouch!
The varicose veins that are all over my right leg. Ouch!
The sciatica. Ouch!
I won't elaborate on this one but let me just say that things are swelling more than they have ever swelled before. Ouch!
That's enough. Let's move on...
I am really stumped as far as names go. I said earlier that I liked Lola and I still do. I am just not sure how well that name will hold up as she gets older. It is cute as a baby but as a thirty year old?! I also like Hazel, and not because Julia Roberts has a daughter named Hazel, but because it has a z in it. "J" names have also been appealing to me. Names like Jade, Jacinda and Jocelyn. Any ideas?
