complain much?

I like when Madeline announces as I walk into the room, "It's princess Moooooommmmmy!". It puts an instant smile on my face...even with these tough past couple of days. She hasn't been feeling well. Turns out my husband's "allergies" over the Easter weekend were, in fact, a cold that was passed on to Madeline and myself. So, we have been stuck in the house for the past three days. I thought she was feeling better this morning, so I threw on my workout clothes and was ready to get the heck out of this house! But, her nose was oozing and I sadly sat back down. She seemed to be in better spirits (until the day progressed) and I constantly see snotty nosed kids in the gym care, but I also think to myself, "really? Mom couldn't keep them home to prevent everyone else from getting sick?". So, yeah, I couldn't do it. I'm hoping that she feels better before our last Hellnastics Thursday! Fingers crossed.

Only good that comes out of a sick bug is lots of "cubbles".

Speaking of "cubbles", that is Madeline's word for cuddle. Here she was last night, "cubbling" Daddy and eating beans (edamame)...

That's our nightly show, Family Feud, playing the background.

Oh, me? Yeah, I'm sick too. It's hell that I can't take anything good...and what I can take doesn't help, so there's no point.
I also only have 3 iron pills left. I was told I would have more energy once I completed a 30-day bottle. So where is it? Is it going to miraculously kick in with these next 3 pills? Oh, maybe the next 30-day cycle will help. Pssh.
And how in the hell did I get sick in the first place? Considering I'm pumped full of prenatal vitamins daily.
I really feel like I'm starting to become that miserable pregnant woman....I try SO hard not to be, but then the witch creeps right back in...my back, my hips, my every damn thing, constant braxton hicks, sleeping has become a sparse because nothing is comfortable. It's WAY too early for this. I'm only at 32 weeks.
It's pretty bad when Madeline says, out of the blue, "Oh, my back!". haha.

It will get better, right? Nah, who am I kidding, this is only the beginning!!! I wonder why it has all started what seems to be so much earlier...you figure your body would build up strength the third time around. Maybe it's because I'm old. Or that I'm hanging with a toddler all day long...that is CONSTANTLY asking me to dance or crawl around on the floor to play cars. Although I have been putting that toddler to work.....

And play....

I so wish I could have made it to aquatic fitness today, when I get into that pool, I feel weightless and it takes all my aches and pains away. *sigh* Maybe Friday.

Geez, complain much? Ha. Bet you're sorry you read this one!

I'm making a Pinterest dinner and dessert tonight! So maybe my next post will be way more cheery than this. *smile*

And for enduring my complaints....

BOOM.
