I want to enjoy this summer, but...

I CAN'T BECAUSE THERE IS A BABY IN MY UTERUS.

Oiy. I am uncomfortable. Not extremely yet, but certainly enough that I am reminded every single second that I'm pregant. Not that I'm ungrateful (I am NOT). This baby is a blessing, and the fact that he is healthy and I'm almost 40 years old is not something I take lightly.

But, I want to suck in my gut.
I want to run around.
I want to wear little shorts (instead of this one pair of maternity shorts I have). I want to jump.
I want to water ski if I so desire.
I want to my body back. It wasn't super fabulous before, but it was MINE baby.

Oh boy. And I'm only 24 weeks.
