Baby News
After almost three months of no entries, I'm writing to share some good news. There has not been much to write about running-wise because my husband and I are expecting our first child! I'm 18 weeks pregnant (due April 4th). I'll probably limit what I write about because I feel like I'm always scaring potential mothers with my stories about nausea and back pain. You have to remember though that every woman and every pregnancy can be SO different.
So as far as running is concerned, I just try to do what I can, when I can. That generally means 35-45 minutes four days a week. I try to walk as much as I can too. My running pace has slowed tremendously to the point I'm practically shuffling. Now that my belly is becoming more visible, I'm getting a lot of stares (the kind where people are thinking you shouldn't be out running). Most of my running lately has been on the grass because it doesn't bother my back as much. Everything also feels good on the treadmill. The treadmill is the most convenient for bathroom stops as my bladder is continously full when I run.
We're pretty excited, especially after my second ultrasound today. We didn't want to find out the sex, but something we saw made us think we're definitely having a boy. I still think I'm having a girl no matter what we saw. I guess time will tell. I just wish that time were here!
