Achy all over

This past weekend I drove to Waco to see my best friend graduate. It was a lot of fun to hang out with her and Tara because I hadnt seen them in a while. That was my last trip for a long time. I cant travel and probably wont travel much when Landon is here. My old friend Amber was there as well. She has a two year old son. It was nice to have someone to talk to that really understands what I am going through. I know I can talk to my mom and she understands but none of my friends really do. Some of them are saying they cant wait to take me out because I will be such a light weight now. Yes, I would LOVE a glass of wine and a margarita but I have no intentions on getting plastered. I dont even like to think of leaving Landon to go out. Its just not going to be the same. In some ways I am sad about that but in others I am completely ok with it. I dont want to be one of those moms who goes out to party and leaves her child behind. Anyway, aside from that I guess lately I have just been really sore and achy. Its hard for me to walk fast because my legs and groin are so sore. I have been stretching but it still hurts. I am slow and cant bend over and have to pee a lot and have to change positions so my back wont hurt. I am getting hot flashes and I think I am starting to feel some BH contractions. I am also constipated again (yeah, gross I know!) so that isnt helping either. Landon is also getting big so hit kicks and movements hurt sometimes. All of that added up makes me feel 1) like an old lady, 2) like I dont want to do anything and 3) like none of my friends really get it. Yeah, I laugh because its funny that I cant get up off the floor but its really annoying to need help all the time. Anytime I talk about something the reaction is "oh, that sucks..." YES IT DOES SUCK! I just keep telling myself that it is only for a few more weeks. I think if I had him now he would be okay but I want him to be as healthy as possible. I know millions of women have done this and thankfully I have actually had a good pregnancy but I am ready for him to be here!

So thats about all that is going on with me right now. I have a Dr appt on Tuesday. Our birthing class was cancelled today so that kinda sucks. They are supposed to call to reschedule this week but with the holidays I am not sure how that will work. We will see!!

Love,
Alyssa, Landon and Taylor
