I think I must have worked at least 50 hours this week. Or at least it felt like it. The “energy burst” that every pregnant mother has been telling me about has finally hit. The funny thing is — I feel like I’ve always felt before the pregnancy. I’ve always had a lot of energy. I could go for miles without getting tired and my brain never stops moving or thinking. I’m just a high-energy person anyway. So to me, it doesn’t necessarily feel like “energy burst” but rather just getting back to my normal self.

People have been noticing that I’ve been gaining weight too. It’s odd though, because when I look in the mirror I don’t see a really big change in my overall body size or proportion. I’m still pretty underweight, if you don’t look at the tummy area. I’ve gained a total of 14 pounds since I got pregnant back in the beginning of November. It will be interesting to see what will happen after the pregnancy, to see if I will end up losing the extra poundage or if I end up keeping it. Either way I will be happy, as long as I am healthy. I’m definitely looking forward to going back to my regular hardcore yoga routine. I miss hanging upside down and doing the crow and the wheel and the real down dog positions, that’s for sure. One thing’s for sure, I’m definitely in no hurry to “lose weight” or get anything from the Orovo store to assist with that. All natural, all the way.

I got lots of work to do. I ended up working a bit today - had two home visits to do and ended up cleaning the house a bit. Luckily it looks pretty darn good from the week, since Dave and I have been relatively clean, so we don’t have to do much of an upkeep this weekend. Definitely makes things easier on me. Hope you’re all having a good weekend!
