Emotions

It seems the pregnancy hormones must be kicking into high gear lately because holy cow I'm all over the place. One second I seriously feel like popping my husband in the head because he's annoying the heck out of me and the next I'm bawling my eyes out. This is pretty much a "this is why my life sucks at the moment post" so if you don't feel like reading I'd just skip it :-)

** It's finally hitting me that I won't be able to run Boston since we're moving. Kind of stinks to achieve that "big" goal and not even run it. I keep telling myself that maybe, just maybe, there will be more Bostons in my future.

** I'm really having a hard time getting over my goals of exercising during pregnancy and it not happening. I keep reading various blogs and it makes me feel worse because so many of you maintained your goals and barely gained any weight by exercising throughout the pregnancy. I know I can only be upset at MYSELF because it's me who doesn't get out there regularly. Enough on that.

** My really good friend in the area who just had her baby 3 weeks ago is getting ready to move to Vietnam in just about 5 weeks. I know we're moving, too, but that just means I'll be here without her for about 3 months. Not fun. Our kids are the same age, have grown up together since they were babies and are also pretty much best friends so it's going to be a difficult goodbye for sure. Not sure how many of these moves I can handle. Ugg!

** My sister jut moved to Hawaii so we're literally going to be half way around the world from each other and I have no idea how often we'll see each other. We have a very normal love/hate relationship but we talk everyday and I'm not sure how easily I'll be getting used to not talking to her everyday once we move. Thankful for Skype that's for sure. Jackson loves it!

** We still don't know where we'll be living in Paris and won't find out for a couple months I'm sure. So that means we don't know how much of our stuff we get to bring with us. Which means I can't plan. And which also means the planning process won't begin until right when the baby gets here, right during holiday season, etc. Not going to be fun I'm sure.

** My husband gets a whopping 2 days off for this baby since he's in training. We were fortunate to have him off for 3 weeks when Jackson was born. I seriously have no freaking clue how I'm going to do it. I think his mom is going to come out for a bit (they live in the area) but she doesn't cook, won't drive anywhere so running errands will still be on me and it's doubtful she'll be cleaning while she's here. I think it's going to be more work having her here :-)

** My parents just surprised us and bought tickets to come out for Christmas. But hubby's brother and wife will also be in town during the holidays so that means somehow we are going to have to figure out how to balance the time between all of them. I'm already dreading the damn holidays. Holidays after you're married just aren't the same since you have to split them up. Blech!

** How I'm going to get back in shape after the kid is born is quite questionable. I can't go to the gym since the baby has to be 3 months old; hubby will be in training from way early in the morning till way late at night. I know I want to work off this baby weight somehow!!!!

OK, if you actually made it this far thanks for "listening." Please just tell me that it will all be ok and everything will work out perfectly. I need a fairytale ending right now :-)
