3rd Trimester Woes

It may have been the impending weather, my mood, or my lack of sleep lately...but I've really lost the motivation to do much of anything anymore. I guess now facing the last few months of development (the time when they pack on the weight) I'm losing energy and the will to do much more than move between the couch and my bed.

I still force myself to exercise, but after 20 minutes of cardio yesterday I started getting contractions. How the hell am I supposed to maintain my weight if I start having contractions every time I exercise? Frustration.

This is the, "really not fun" stage of pregnancy. I would classify my pregnancy into three stages; sick and upset, nervous and uncomfortable and anxious and really uncomfortable. Whereas I was always told it was more like; sick and excited, nervous and energetic, uncomfortable and really excited (in trimesters).

I think I was vomiting through my "excitement" and waddling through my "energetic" phases.

On top of everything else, I got jipped out of an acupuncture appointment today because of the weather. I'd rather Brian be safe getting to and from work than be selfish about getting acupuncture. Plus, I didn't fall asleep till 1am last night and I woke up twice to go to the bathroom before 5am. So I don't think I'd be a whole lot of fun to hang out with today anyways.

I'm still anxiously awaiting a phone call from my doctor about my results from last week. They said it would take *about* a week and I just keep thinking that it should be a priority! I got to the point I wanted to quit waiting for the call so I put my phone on silent and forced myself to quit thinking about it. When they call, they'll leave a voicemail.

I'm going to go back to bed and sleep. Then I'll probably get up, exercise, eat some lunch and sleep some more. I can think of a handful of people that would hear that and be jealous, but I'd rather be in a shitty office somewhere right about now.....well, maybe not.
