That is how pregnant I am. Up until this point I have continued to run and feel good about myself, really good. All of a sudden I feel like I cannot breathe anymore when I am running even at a very slow pace. It is really starting to depress me. I am just not sure how I will get through the summer without my favorite pastime. It is really making me crazy right now.
Tomorrow I have to go back to the doctor for my Glucose Challenge Test. I have to drink this orange sugar syrup and then get my blood drawn and pray that I do not have elevated blood sugar. I am really afraid because they always seem to have trouble drawing my blood for some reason.
I also worry about my weight since I still have 13 weeks left of pregnancy (potentially). I weighed myself today and was 141 pounds. I started out in the 120's (I think around 124-125). Just watching the numbers go up each week is hard for me even though I know it is basically out of my control. With my first baby, I started at 135 and ended at 162 so that was 27 total pounds. 125+27 would put me at 152. Like I said... a long way to go. I do not remember how much weight I had gained at this point last time. I do like to compare because I think with my first pregnancy I had gained too much weight. I came home from the hospital at 150 pounds and felt disgusting.
Well that is all for now. Time to drink more water and hope all goes well tomorrow.
