Here we go again...

This time I'm going to keep up with blogging... as much as I love to read blogs might as well make one of my own!

So here is what has been happening since last March...

August 9, 2011 we were blessed with our precious baby boy, Jarod Ward. 7lbs, 13 oz, 21 in.

16 weeks... and counting!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 16 Weeks

Size of baby: Our little baby is the size of a avacado this week,

Total Weight Gain/Loss: As of last appointment 0 pounds... I don't weigh myself normally, but I don't think a ton of weight gain since the past appointment

Maternity Clothes: I wear some maternity jeans... I have a few maternity dresses that look like normal everyday dresses I wear too! Love, love the Bella Band btw!

Gender: We will find out March 29

Movement: None yet... hopefully soon, sometimes I lay still just hoping I will feel him/her move

Sleep: Crappy as of this past week... crazy dreams keeping me up at night

What I miss: Running when I want... drinking lots of caffine!

Cravings: Jimmy Johns subs.... call me weird.... I hated it before getting prego, but now I crave it!

Symptoms: Feeling great other than being tired!

Best Moment this week: Ummmmm, hmmmmmm, looking at cute smocked dresses and rompers for our baby to wear to a wedding in September.... will be our first big trip with a few week old baby, looking forward to getting out of the house and seeing friends!

No more running for a few months...

Well lets just say the running really slacked off ... I got into zumba... and well it seemed so much easier than running out in the heat. I know, I am a loser. Now I really miss running. But see here is the deal... I found out a little news in December that put me on the bench as far as running for say 9 months... we are having a BABY!!! It will be well worth giving up running for a few months... but don't worry we have registered for a jogging stroller and will be back at it soon!

Needing Motivation...

Running has got me down. It's just worn me out and I'm not finding the time in my day to log all those miles. I've had a migraine for the past 3 days and that has not helped matters... at all.

So I keep reading other people's blogs... and I want to be a serious blogger!!! Lol. I'm really going to try to start blogging about our life... not just my fights with running!!!

Running into a wall...

So the running has reached a standstill.... its like all the sudden the running has caught up with my legs. I was suppose to run 8 on Saturday... didn't happen, ran 3 and my left shin was killing me, so stopped with the 3. Had hoped they'd feel better and could run my other 5 on Sunday but no luck... even yesterday & today my shin is aching... I know if its shin splint I have no choice but to lay off. But its killing me... I feel very fat... need to stop eating... FAST! Today is a scheduled off day, so I'm going to hit the gym after work for some weights and hopefully I'll feel like running tomorrow. Hubby is working tonight :(... so it will be a wild evening with the dogs! I seriously think they love it when he's gone so they can see their mom (me) spaz out at them.

Big news is... my fisher price kitchen I ordered off of Ebay two weeks ago will be here today!!! Can't wait to get home to check it out... now I just need fake food! Maybe the puppies and I will have a tea party tonight with my new kitchen! Joking!!!!!

Playing catch up...

Thursday I got my quick 3 mile run in, no problem. Saturday I had to run 6 miles... this actually felt good!!! It was a great way to start the day! Monday I had a 3 mile run, but due to all the snow on the ground I hit the treadmill instead of the road... about mile 1.5 started feeling faint... tried to walk it off... but still felt like I was gonna pass out. So I stopped at mile 2.1. I have a 5 mile run scheduled for tonight, but still ice/snow on the road. So I dont know what I will do. I may try to switch to a 3 miler tonight and then run 5 tomorrow. Who knows... I feel lazy after no running Sunday, short run on Monday, did weights yesterday... but I need to feel the cardio burn ya know!

Saturday we had date day in Evansville! My sweet husband volunteered to take me shopping!!! And he hates, hates, hates shopping. Found a cute things at Ann Taylor Loft though! Went out to a quick dinner at Logans and then we were back home with our furry kids. Sunday we went to church and then cleaned! He bought me a ice cream cake for Vday... yummy!!! I am still eating on it!

Til next time, Blue Skies!

Here I am again not keeping up with the posting. Well Saturday I was scheduled for a 5 mile run... but woke up to snow and ice on the ground. I can barely make it to and from my car with it on the ground, much less run 5 miles on it. So my sweet husband volunteered to drive me to the gym so I could get my run in a on a treadmill. Well I survived it, but I HATE running on treadmills. HATE HATE HATE treadmills.

Monday's run was short and simply, only a 3 miler! Nose & Ears got a little numb though. Today I have a 4 mile run ahead of me, but there is a good bit of snow & ice on the ground along with really strong, cold wind... so it looks like its back to the gym I go for another run on a treadmill. :(
