Michelle's Place- A bit wiser this time around...

Thank you Brandy:) My husband tells me that too but it helps to hear it again. I had a big fight with the ex last night.... maybe fight isn't the right word. I was attacked and then his mom jumped in and told me I would never take away her grandparental rights.... I am not sure what she is talking about. I have never denied her seeing him and I even let them take him an extra day last time. It is hard to be hated by people who I have always tried to do my best by. It was big drama last night and I cried for hours. Not good when I am pregnant. So we are going to seek legal counsel and I am not allowed to talk to them alone without my husband and I am going to start putting everything into writing. It is a shame it has come to this but I need to protect me and my son (note: they have never done anything to my son. His Dad has just not had the best environment for his son to come visit with drugs and alcohol in the house.)
Sorry to fill these posts with non-weight related drama but eh it's what is on my mind.
Thanks again Brandy. I am glad you understand the situation:) Your mom sounds like a tough lady.
 
I posted my last comment to let you know that there is pretty much nothing you can do about the way ANYONE is acting about the situation. Just do your best to rise above the situation. Stay calm for the baby's sake. Ive lived through all this drama all my life. I've seen what my mom went through. I've heard it from my dad, my mom, and even my grandparents. I promise the best thing to do is rise above the yelling and stay calm. To take whatever legal actions you plan to, just stay calm and level headed. Hugs. You are doing what is best for your son, by keeping him away from the drugs and alcohol. Your a great mommy.
 
6 weeks!

Both in pregnancy and training for the 5K. How strange that I started training about the same time I got pregnant. It's going well. I finished day 2 week 6 today and it went well. It calls for a 3 minute walk in between 2 10 minute jogs. I was feeling good so I cut a whole minute off and just walked for 2 minutes. I think I am ready for Friday's 25 minute run..... :svengo: The pregnancy is going well. I am craving ice cream and chinese food but I think I am always craving those so it's pretty normal lol. Trying to keep food in check but it's very hard. sigh. It was hard enough to begin with!! But I am still exercising and moving a lot. Just need to catch up on sleep! My husband seems to think he can live without sleep and it's killing me. I have had a hard time sleeping as it is but when he shuts down at 2am it's hard to keep sleeping.
Hope you all are well!
 
What is that quote??>.... oh yeah "Excuses are like a**holes, everybody has one." Graphically true:p
My excuse just happens to be a doozy this time:D Hey but if I can keep up with the C25K I don't want to hear nuthin' from no one..... well a little something every once in awhile but then that's it!
 
that's opinions.. but excuses works just as well :)

you can come whinge at me any time oyu wanna..

as my aunt edna used to say -if you can't say something nice.. come sit by me :)

She was a tough old broad :) had huge bosoms :D actually i think it was single bosom:D
 
A mono-boob. All good cozy grandmas have those... especially the ones who cook well!
I think I would like your Aunt Edna!
 
I seem to recall aunt edna's idea of a balanced meal was a scotch in each hand and a cigarette chaser :D but she always had goldfish crackers and pretzels :D
 
Hi Brandy! I am sorry I have been bad. Here I was pissy at Tammy when she stopped posting but damn now I know how it is. Just a whole different world. I am feeling very sick today:( and generally have been sick and tired. It is amazing how much this takes out of you!! I just feel like I could fall asleep standing! I also twisted my knee so I had to stop running:( I am very sad but I have been trying to walk 3 miles a day. Still going to do the 5k. I am sad I won't be able to run it but I will still complete it. I can try again post baby:) Son and hubby are doing well. Armando started 1st grade and it has been a whirl of early days and getting to know the school. Paul is uber excited to be a dad and is doing well at work. I am doing well when I am not weeping uncontrollably, sick to my stomach and drop dead tired lol. I only have one month of my first trimester left and then it should get a bit easier lol. Just hard to find the time to sit down and actually post. Especially since I haven't been able to run. Grrr. I am very upset but I do have to listen when my body says no and it certainly gave me a butt kicking last weekend. lol I hope you are doing well and thank you for stopping by Brandy!
 
I'm so glad you posted michelle!!! I'm sorry you had to stop running. After the baby comes it will be easier. Uncontrollable weeping? awww...cheer up girl! I'm one to talk! haha! TOM is right around the corner...and I cry for 10 minutes because I'm bloated. lol. Rest when you need to! Don't tire yourself out!.
 
Come on third trimester!

Ok so the general crappy feeling is starting to fade. I am so looking forward to the time where I don't feel like I am going to keel over and die! It's tough being pregnant. I am not sure if I was this tired the first time but if I was I forgot about it! Things are going along swimmingly. I have gained some weight, some pregnancy related and some not. The craving for white, sweet, carbs is really over whelming! Donuts would really fit the bill but I am trying to refrain. Eating has been off and on. As I have been sick when I don't eat I tend to graze all day. Made some great chicken soup last night which we will have again tonight. So good and satisfying!
Clothes are not fitting anymore so I am in maternity clothes just for the comfort. Rubber bands through the button holes are just beyond me.
I wish I wanted to post more but when I am not focused on weight loss it is hard. Makes me wonder how maintenance would be for me.
I have been thinking about what to do post pregnancy. I have actually been looking at Weight Watchers. My sister in law had some good results with their help and as I don't want to go on the 1200 calorie a day diet again I thought that might be a good way to learn some new things. I feel very stuck in my diet frame of mind. Like I want to do something different but in action (well if I wasn't pregnant) I tend to go back the way that worked before but didn't work for me long term. So just looking for something that fits. Exercise is going to be the big key. I am still walking but for the last week I had to stop because I got uber involved in making a mural for my son's school. If you are interested in pics I posted them on my blog:
It really took so much time! I am glad to be done and walking will commence again tomorrow.
We are getting new health insurance too. I am excited to go to a doctor and hear the heartbeat and maybe see the baby. Right now I am just getting fat... it would be nice to see the reason for that!! lol.
The Susan G. Komen 5K is a week from Sunday. I am sad not to be running but I am excited for the race! It will still be fun and I have raised some money for a good cause. I even got my new license plate for Colorado and they have a breast cancer awareness plates. I love them! They are pink:D lol. Me and my pink things. I fought the color for so long but nothing says girlie girl like pink! Well and now breast cancer awareness! lol
Hope you all are well!
 
go to the event anyhow i'm sure it will be fun...

Chicago's is this weekend- i i sooo do not want to get out of bed at o'dark thirty on saturday :)
 
Hi Mal! Yeah I am sure it will be fun. I am excited to go. I have my shirt all ready and everything:) Getting up early on a weekend morning is going to be interesting but better than doing it in the heat of the day! It's just one day! Apparently Denver has had the largest of these events until last year when St. Louis beat them out. So there's a big push for people to sign up. I wish I knew more people!! I am slightly nervous about all those people but at least I can blend into the crowd lol;)
 
Finally Race Day....

However, since yesterday my son has been in the hospital for a really bad kidney infection and as I have not slept and am not keen on leaving my son's side I am not going to get to the race. I am sad because I was looking forward to it but the stress for my little one has pushed it all to the back of my mind. His temperature has been going up and down for over 30 hours now with the highest being 104.3!! It has been awful. Little kids in pain just is the worst thing. We are hoping he can come home soon but with his temperature still going up and down and him not being able to eat that well it looks like we may be here for a few more days. Prayers would be much appreciated.
