Yoga and daycare.

So since I gave up on my work out routine well over a year ago, I've gained about 15 lbs. and I'm not liking it. I was hoping to be in better shape than I am for my pregnancy, but I guess it's never too late. My goal for a max. weight gain during my pregnancy is 25 lbs. I know that seems impossible, but if I'm really careful about what I eat and I start working out more regularly, I may be able to do it. Since boxing is probably not the best choice of exercises for me right now, I thought about yoga. I found a website online that has prenatal yoga videos that I can follow along with and I think that sounds like a swell idea. I can hook my computer up to my TV and then I don't have to make the effort of going to the store and trying to track down a DVD. I was going to try it out last night while Brett was gone to a hockey game, but for some reason my couch sucked me in and wouldn't let go of it's death grip it had on me. So needless to say I didn't get around to it. Darn!

I had intentions to try it out this morning, but last night I had a really bad case of insomnia. I went to bed around 9 and didn't fall asleep until after 11, once Brett got home. Maybe it was my subconscious not allowing me to sleep until my hubby was home. I don't know, but either way I was extremely tired this morning and didn't get up in time to try out my yoga. I swear I feel like my life doesn't exist except for on the weekends. I head to work at 7:30a.m. and don't get home until 6:30p.m. Monday - Friday. That leaves about 2 1/2 hrs of free time in my day to do anything, which usually consists of cooking, cleaning, and laundry. I'm just a little worried about what it's going to be like when I have a baby. The thought of leaving my newborn at daycare for 11 hours everyday is a bit dishearting. I don't even think most daycares around my house are open past 5:30. I would love to have the financial security that would allow either Brett or myself to stay home with the baby, at least part time, but that's not realistic. I mean we knew that we would both have to work full time and our child would be headed to daycare once it was 6 weeks old, but now that we actually have one on the way, it's a little more scary than ever before. I just want to be able to spend more than 2 1/2 hours with my child every day. I realize my 9:00pm bed time is no longer going to exist once the baby is hear, but still, I wish sometimes that I had banker hours. Unfortunately when you work in retail, that's unlikely to be the case. So anyway, those are my 2 worries for now....gaining more than 25lbs and putting my child in daycare for too many hours. I'm sure my nerves will ease as time goes on.
