Today, I have reached the 10th week of pregnancy. According to the nurse, I lost a pound since my previous appointment. More noticeable, however, is my inch loss. My OB even pointed out that I looked fantastic. I guess that's what you get when you go from doing NO activity for fear of losing the baby to working out every night. Yeah. Big difference, folks.
With my wait being three weeks until my next appointment, I want to share some of the things I want to do between now and then to keep my time and my mind too busy to think about the scary shit:
* Continue to work out. This is the biggest goal in my book. I need to continue feeling fit and shrinking little by little. . . all but my gut. Because that just has no chance of getting smaller at this point. Working out is a huge stress reliever and I actually feel so much better the day after I work out. I find that despite being full of pee, I also sleep better at night. Those goddamn health nuts were right! Bastards!
* Baseball with my Mum. Tonight, in fact, I have tickets to see my St Louis Cardinals play the Reds. Our seats are just to the right of the Cardinals dugout. Life is good.
* My Hub has promised to take me morel hunting. This is amusing because I hate mushrooms more than anything, but I just want the glory of finding one. Just one. Seriously. Aim low and you will nearly always succeed. Right. Also, our pup needs some outdoor time. She has been cooped up in the house for weeks thanks to the bathroom project - which, by the way, is nearly complete. A little wood putty for the trim and installing the medicine cabinet when it arrives at Lowe's. . . and Paint on the new doors. Really. That is awesome. I have been shitting in a new pot, bathing in a new tub and washing my hands in a brand new sink. Life is good.
* The Hub has started the summer softball leagues. My current official line is that I am "still burned out on softball due to the 4 nights a week I was playing before" I need to go to a few of his games in the next few weeks. It will be nice to see everyone. . and trash talk a little bit. Because, other than hitting like a pro and fielding like a dream, the thing I do best is trash talk. Not meanly. But, in a funny way that makes the other team like me. Until they actually start talking shit. Then, I finish it. Because I can. Oooh. Pregnancy "mad" is slowly returning, too. Ugh.
* Cleaning out the house is a big deal for me - since we have been living in dust since the bathroom project began. I have even begun cleaning out closets - not just for summer - but for good. I started 2013's Salvation Army Donation Bag. And really, there are some great things in there. A dress once worn to a wedding. . . some nice pajamas (I recently saw someone spell as Pyjamas). . . some brand new knee socks (I had a dream once). . . some very lightly used business casual tops. . . It is important that the Hub and I do this every year. In fact, I do it twice a year. I look every 6 months at things that I haven't worn in over a year. If I haven't. . and it's not a business suit or formal wear, I ditch it. Someone else will get better use from these things than I. It also helps prevent me from buying clothes I don't need (Didn't I just throw something like this out?) So yeah. I purge. Unused items. Except panties. Because that is gross.
I have a feeling I will come up with a new list to get me through another week - next week. For now, I think this will keep me busy enough in combination with my usual chore list and every day living. Ding!
