Pleasantries of Pregnancy: Handle with Care

I do NOT like being limited, physically. I like to be able to just go about my day doing the things I need or want to without having to ask for help or cutting out any activities. We went bowling yesterday with the girls, and I had trouble lifting and rolling an eleven pound ball. The 10 pound ball didn't fit my thumb, but it was at the max of what I could lift comfortably. I  was incredibly frustrated. I just wanted to enjoy bowling and I couldn't totally. 

The muscles in my stomach are even sore today just from the 10 pound ball and all the activity yesterday. I still have things to get done today, but the aching is kind of annoying. And boy oh boy was the baby active last night. He wouldn't stop jumping and twisting for a good 20 minutes after we laid down for bed. All I wanted to do is sleep and he wouldn't lie still! :) Time to start realizing my body is not my own any more. I guess it hasn't been for a while now, but at least I could still sleep when I wanted/needed to. Not anymore. 

15 more weeks to go!
