I love May. It is my favorite month of the year besides December. (I love holiday decorations.) Why? What is NOT to love in May? The gorgeous sunny weather, the seemingly constant stream of social events, Mother's Day, the sun goes down later, margs on rooftop patios (well, not this year) and my birthday on the 22nd. This year brings an added bonus because I am technically a mother now. After cleaning up from Strike class, Mother's Day for me was spent on the couch watching Hulu catching up on Kitchen Nightmares. Along with that sunny weather and heat came feet that look and feel like rising loaves of bread inside my shoes.
It is also a time that brings more change. I am only 10 weeks away from my due date and it is blaringly obvious all the things that still need to be done. 10 WEEKS! 10 weeks! That's it! And that's assuming he comes on his due date which is highly unlikely. T-Nut's room needs to be painted, furniture painted, crib assembled, house deep cleaned, baby clothes washed, guest bed made, and the glider/reclincer purchased. I need to pack for the hospital (well, I can probably wait a little on that one....) and set up the guest room/bed for when Sean, Mom, Kim, Dad/Connie, and Elisa come visit! They aren't coming all at once though...whew!
I am still in awe that in just a couple short months, I will have a tiny person to hold. I can feel him moving around in there. I know he's in there. Little feet punched my ribs this morning fast like POW POW POW POW! It's just simply...incredible. I get to see him again at my 32 week appointment. Very excited about that!
Next week, I will decrease the amount fitness classes I teach, specifically kickboxing. I just don't move the same as I used to. I can't keep up with myself anymore! The ol' core muscles are getting overloaded and my ankle hurts all the time. Boo. But, I am SO thankful for being strong. I made it 32 weeks teaching kickboxing! Not bad! Lifting weights and exercising most of my life has been so helpful especially throughout this pregnancy. I can only hope and imagine my recovery will be that much easier. I am ecstatic for when I can get back to it. Bobby, I'm ready! :)
Cheers to May and all the wonderful people in my life. I love you all so much. RAISE YOUR GLASS MUTHAFUCKAS!!!! :)
so many overwhelming emotions...make just the first week of May so exciting! and to know that is just going to get better as the month moves forward it is almost too much to handle!! it's amazing that the final countdown is on. CHEERS!!!
