I think I need some new running shorts! I've felt a little bigger in the belly lately, but it might have something to do with the Tootsie Rolls I've been addicted to lately. I'm trying to cut down on sweets, I swear!
After a busy start to the week with coming back from Wisconsin and Matt going out of town for work, I was finally able to get in a 5 mile run on Friday and a 6 mile run on Saturday. Today, I had all intentions of heading out for 7 miles. I ended up sleeping in until 7am, and by the time I headed out at 8am it was 90 degrees! Not ideal running conditions for a pregnant woman. The old me would have pushed through in the heat, came home half dead, and loved it (no pain, no gain!) but the pregnant me came home after 1.5 miles. Sigh. Matt will be home tonight and I hope to get more workouts in. As someone that was previously so active and almost addicted to working out, I've found it hard to not be able to keep that up and be faced with weight gain. I just have to keep the bigger picture in mind!
On Friday I went over to our friend's house to babysit their 1 month old. He is absolutely precious! Just holding him and feeding him made me feel so amazed at what's to come.
We are so very excited for my ultrasound on Friday! I'll also be having the nucal translucency screening test to assess the baby's risk of having Down syndrome and some other chromosomal abnormalities, as well as major congenital heart problems. We hope to be able to share some exciting news with more people next weekend!
