Mike is off work for MLK day so he is home taking care of a few things that need to be done like running to lowes, wal-mart, picking up rx's and hopefully taking Og to get her nails trimmed - they are way too long. The fact that I knew he didn't have to get up this morning and go to work, made getting up and going to work that much harder this morning!
It was a long and wonderful weekend - something that I very much needed - and I can't thank rissy enough for all of her help, love and support this past weekend. She cleaned our kitchen on Friday - amazing! And helped me find several great deals on maternity clothes at Gap on Saturday. She is truly a blessing in my life and I couldn't ask for anything more!
I am a little sad, I missed one of my other best friends baby showers this weekend - it was back in PA...I am sure it was wonderful and she was truly spoiled with attention and love - just one more thing that makes me wish we lived closer...
feeling good - tired (mostly from this weekend) but nothing to complain about. Went to the gym at lunch which always makes me feel good - even though my workouts have taken quite the turn...I was still able to walk on the treadmill for 25 minutes and lift (mostly arms) I really need to make this a regular thing - I just feel so much better, and there are so many studies and articles that list the benefits of working out for both the mother and the baby...
- easier labor
- more normal birth weight for the baby
- healthy baby, less complications
- reduces the risk of childhood obesity
- helps mom bounce back after labor
- helps mom get her body back after pregnancy
all of which seem like pretty darn good reasons to get my butt to the gym every day during lunch - I am determined not to gain too much weight with this pregnancy - I want the baby to be healthy, and gaining too much weight can be bad for the baby, as well as me.
work is slow today - very few of my vendors are in the office - so it makes it a little harder to get answers on certain things.
hope everyone enjoyed the belly pictures!
Happy Monday!
