Flood of Emotions

So, I was already having an emotional day (these seem to be coming more frequently these days...dang hormones!) And so the following experience only made my emotional day more emotional, however it was all the emotions during the day and more combined into about a 30 second time period.

There is nothing like the panic of seeing your toddler running towards a street...
 Why was she running towards the street you ask? Because we were at the "little park" and she wanted to go to the bigger park across the street, so while I was talking she started to sneak off (she's VERY sneaky, another story for another time)

Its even worse when you are 36 weeks and 3 days into your pregnancy (meaning I am considered full term in 4 days...)

Why does this make it worse? Well let me explain. I felt like an elephant while running...except elephants can actually go fast...I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere!

Emotion #1: Panic
Emotion #2: Fear
Emotion #3: Frustration, because I couldn't move as fast as I knew I needed too, and despite my yelling at her to stop she continued to pick up speed, and in that moment I felt as if she was the fastest 2 year old in the world!
Emotion #4: Relief, because I didn't have to watch her get run over!
Emotion #5: Embarrassment, because I can only imagine what big, fat pregnant me looked like running across the park...

Then I'm not sure what emotion to call it...but because I am pregnant I cried...go figure!
And now...well just PAIN! pulled a muscle and literally can barely move, thankfully Chris has been helping...

Needless to say I don't think Savannah and I will be visiting the park again anytime soon...
I just pray Braden doesn't try to come now because he is still breech and that could get complicated!

And when I said "sinks" I meant "stinks." Hahaha.

So, its actually not a muscle...my ligaments are so loose they are literally not holding my hip in place, so it was out...
But is surprisingly feeling better this afternoon! :)
