6 months & uncomfortable

I don't remember being this uncomfortable with Lyla, especially before my 3rd trimester hit. I have a feeling (and fear) that this is going to be one big baby - especially since Eric was close to 9lbs himself.
Heat and stretching has stopped relieving my back pain. The baby on my bladder had stopped me from running, and now braxton hicks contractions has slowed the rest of my work out routine; so much for being wonder mom and being in tip-top shape this whole pregnancy. My slow weight gain has forced me to eat even when I'm not hungry, making me feel full and nauseous. And to top it all off, my 2nd trimester is coming to an end, bringing back the exhaustion and increased hormones I experienced in months 1-3. Pretty sure I barely made it past 9pm last night before I was passed out on the couch, and I was less than tolerant of Lyla's every-5-minute temper tantrums yesterday.
But, on a positive note, the weather this week has so far been beautiful, and looks like it'll stay that way for the remainder of the week (until next week when we'll probably get some wicked snow storm; this is New England after all). The vitamin D from the sun and fresh air really does a body good, and Lyla and I have been walking everywhere - whether it's walking Petey around the block or taking an extended walk in the stroller to the playground, I still manage to get in some exercise, and can nearly forget all my pregnancy discomforts when the weather is 70 degrees and sunny.
I know I'll only become more uncomfortable from here on out, but hopefully with Spring upon us, I'll be easily distracted 8-)
