i've felt like CRAP all weekend b/c the thought of ds starting daycare in 2 weeks makes me sick.  and of course i've been crabby to dh. gawd this sucks.

and i just feel like poop.  i feel fat and blubby and unattractive and completely unmotivated to workout.  my knees hurt from doing jumping jacks.  SERIOUSLY??   jumping jacks??  i'm only 20lbs over my pre pg weight and that was at the high end of the acceptable range for my height. not like i was way overweight or something.  i mean really.  jumping jacks? ugh.  all i wanna do is eat chili cheese fritos and chocolate chip cookies.

    LMAO @ chili cheese fritos and chocolate chip cookies.  it sucks big time when you realize it's no longer acceptable to make that into a meal.  although who really gives a crap what's acceptable?!

    I'm sorry you're having a crappy day.  The whole daycare thing is heartbreaking, but I think you will come to love the routine and seeing the amazing ways that DS grows and develops over the next few months.  My office is on the other side of the wall from Lilly's daycare room and some days when I'm super busy and cannot leave my desk I just want to cry... and I'm right there! 

    Big hugs, Mama:)

    I absolutely dreaded going back to work, but it was all ok. And in fact, I sort of like the break. :-)

    I think pregnancy does weird things to your joints that have nothing to do with weight gain. My knees ache sometimes too now and I am the same weight as I was before pregnancy! (well, 5lbs over still but who's counting. :-)

    Aww, hugs Christina! I totally agree! I go back next week and I cry when I think about it. I have nothing to wear either--well nothing that fits. Good times! I hope it all works out ok for you...don't beat yourself up about the weight though, you'll get there!

    Not gonna lie - going back to work sucks!

    But you're not alone. We are all here for you - and just think about how you'll be able to nest so much more!

    I miss all your crazy co-irker stories :)
