I honestly never realized how lucky I was to have such an uneventful first trimester. Apparently it's rare to have a more difficult second trimester than your first. But honestly, this trimester has kind of stunk so far.
I've found myself grumpy, emotional, weepy at times and with more aches and pains than I know what to do with. Since Friday I've had huge knots in my left butt, tightness in my hips and for some reason, pain in the bony part right around my tailbone like I fell or someone punched me. What's with that?
That being said, I know I'm still VERY lucky in the grand scheme of pregnancy pains and setbacks and the fact that I have free fitness and massage facilities at my disposal at work. Spin class this morning definitely helped work out some of the kinks and hopefully my massage appointment and yoga class tomorrow will help work out some more. I almost skipped spin this morning because of the pain but I have to remind myself that being active is the only way to keep this from getting worse. I know I have to listen to my body, and I do, but if I only listened to my body and not my brain I would be at home on the couch in my pajamas every day eating Sriracha potato chips and that's not going to get me where I want to be. I mean, it sounds heavenly, but not really smart.
