How Do You Feel?

That is the question I get on a daily basis.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.  I just thought it would be a good idea to dedicate this post to my current emotional and physical state.

Emotionally:

Some days I can hardly wait to hold little Cecil.  But other days I start stressing out about the amount of time before I have to go into full-time mommy mode.  So many things to accomplish in so little time.

But on the other hand, I am trying to give up some control in my life.  I know I am uptight and too much of a control freak.  I figure if I try to chill out a little bit now, it might help my mental state when Cecil is here and I cannot control everything like I would prefer.

I am happy!  This is such an exciting time of life.  It brings great joy to see how excited Seth is about this and share this time with him.  I also started registering for baby items (even though I really have no clue) and can't wait to get started on decorating a baby room (which will have to wait until we know where we will be at).  

I should also add that Seth has told me he has been surprised about how I've been through this entire pregnancy.  I guess he expected the raging you know what, needy, moody woman to come out in me.  But it really hasn't.  I think I've actually only cried a couple of times.

Physically:

I hate getting up in the morning.  Once I get out of bed and get going I feel great.  But getting myself out of bed is tough.  

I'm sleeping OK.  I wake up a lot during the night (especially to pee) but for the most part I think I am getting enough rest.

Some days I feel like my stomach skin is stretching so much that it might explode.  But for the most part, I still don't feel "big" yet.  Thank goodness.

I LOVE riding my bicycle.  Since I stopped running it is great to get on the bike and do exercise that I love which isn't uncomfortable (yet).  I especially enjoy riding in the morning when I have this peaceful view of the open road.  


I even have my route planned out with multiple corn field pee spots.
