Pregnancy dreams...

are so damn weird! And vivid! :P Last night I dreamed I was carrying this baby as a surrogacy for a friend. I was cool with it and knew what that entailed, but then I enjoyed being pregnant SO much, that when I had the baby and they gave it away, I kept trying to steal it back. Weird. Also, it was MY baby for some reason, not an implanted embryo, so I guess that's more like an adoption. But either way, it was weird. I woke up all sad.

Exercise!

So I am 14 weeks as of today. Which is, according to some, the start of the second trimester. According to others, that was last week. I started exercise again today (I haven't been really exercising since I found out I was pregnant. Just walking) and holy cow, have I gotten out of shape in 10 weeks! I was in really good shape before pregnancy, because I was training for Tough Mudder, now I'm out of breath before the warm-ups are over, and my belly hurts quickly. :P I am going to have to start doing my pregnancy yoga every day so that I can stay in shape without killing myself lol. Does anyone have any recommendations for exercise that is easier on a pregnant body?

Hot, hot, hot

Ugh, It is so hot here. Colorado is going through a major drought, and it's been about 100 degrees every day. Dry horrible heat. It's making it hard to do anything besides lay around and complain lol. I can't tell if I have morning sickness, or if it's just heat making me queasy. I sure hope this turns out to be a rough winter, we could use it.
