Re: AW Thursday!

  • Snowshoes have been reserved for rental for this weekend! I'm reeeeeeeally excited to get away and relax for the weekend (but I'm bummed DH can't come). 

    And next week is winter break from school. So, hopefully I'll have all work complete by tonight and not have to worry about anything for a week and a half. Big Smile

  • I ran a 4 mile race (1 mile w/u and .5 mile c/d) on Sunday at 23 weeks & 1 day pregnant placing 8th out of 29 in my age group!  Of course, my time is much slower than pre-pregnancy but I was still excited to see I beat 21 other women in the 30-34 age group!!

  • My boss gave me her son's old baby swing and it happens to be the exact same swing we just registered for this weekend, just a different print.  Its my first big baby item and I am pretty excited about it.

    Congratulations!  That's an exciting achievement.  Are you doing any more races before the baby comes?

    I know!  That was my thought, especially since it is a $170 swing!  And its pretty much brand new looking.

  • I am getting my first ever pedicure on Saturday!  Generally, I don't do this stuff unless it's a special occasion because I think it's kind of a waste of money, buuut my SIL really wanted to go get one, and she found a cheap place, so I'm going.

    Hooray for pretty feet!  I hope it lasts for my vacation which, btw, is only 9 days away!!!

    Awesome!  I don't know if I could do that and I'm not pregnant.

    Have fun!  I usually don't get pedicures either because I figure I can do it myself. But, when I do, I love it.

  • I'm down a total of 6lbs so far. I finally got to the gym after a week of being off- either because I felt like crap or a certain loveable child was up at 5am every.day.this.week.

    Oh... also, I'm feeling a lot better about my boy's speech and the doctors. Originally they were blowing me off about my concerns, then one listened and referred me to an audiologist- though I was asking for an ENT because we've been through this similar path with T. Anyway, I thought they did that to just shut me up. Turns out my bff shared with me last night that this is the same path she had to go with her son for similar issues, and she explained the steps they took. Seems like we're on the same path and I just may get some answers.

  • I am going to look at a puppy on Sunday.  I am in the market for a puppy girl so that some day down the road I can have a puppy that is out of my boy.  Time-wise, I was thinking more later this year, but this puppy was brought to my attention.  I have been torturing myself about the timing and details of it, but I'm looking forward to going.  In my over-analysis of this whole thing, I have come to realize that the timing isn't going to get much better (though after the wedding would have been perfect).  There are still a lot of ifs and details that need to be worked out, so we'll see.

    I am planning to!  I have them listed in my siggy.  Running while pregnant has its ups and downs.  Some days are great, other days are super hard.  Especially when I have to pee so often!!

    What a coincidence that it was the same swing!  One thing to remove from your registry.
