No One Told Me It Would Be This Hard!! (The Second Time Around)

So I know that I haven't posted anything in a while, but for whatever reason felt the need to complain a little bit, and since this is my blog I can do and say whatever I want right?! I have decided that being pregnant and having a toddler is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I also think that with this pregnancy my body just isn't handling it as well as the first time...I know I"m a little older but man am I feeling it. Yesterday's weather was quite nice so I decided to take Ian for a walk, and at the same time drop off reminders for Activity Days...since I'm an activity days leader for our ward. After my 20-30 minute walk I was so sore!! I couldn't believe it! I have been staying active with this pregnancy since the beginning to avoid this type of pain. I swear I pulled my hip flexor muscle and now I try to walk and siatic nerve pain shoots down my leg. SO needless to say not only am I doing the "waddle walk" but I also look ridiculous because I don't want to put too much weight on my sore leg. Apparently being 27 weeks pregnant and pushing a stroller isn't a good idea. All I want to do now is sit and never move again, but for anyone who knows Ian you know that isn't even possible. Hopefully in the next few days I will be able to walk with less pain and less "waddling" but we will have to see.

As for everyone else...Jared is working really hard all the time. He is quite busy that sometimes by the time he gets home from his other job I'm out as a light (which doesn't take much now a days). Ian is getting big and always has something to say. He knows all his colors now and whenever he sees anything he has to tell you what it is and it's color. It is quite cute. He has been in nursery for the last few months and is finally starting to enjoy going. His favorite primary song right now is "Follow the Prophet" because he gets to run around all over the place while you sing the song. I think Jared and I sang it 10 times last night before telling him that the prophet went to bed so Ian needs to be in bed too. :) I will hopefully get some updated pictures posted soon, so keep an eye out.
