On Cloud Nine!

Well today was a GREAT day to have off! It was beautiful outside, I got a pedicure, and OH YEAH I had my second ultrasound today at the doc's! He said baby is measuring 12 weeks and 3 days but that I'm still at 11 weeks 4 days? I don't really get that but ok. For now I'm still saying I am 12 weeks 3 days. I know this can change and babies grow at the rate they're going to grow, etc.  However to me, it makes more sense to go off the baby measurement. Which (according to online calculators) makes me due September 28, but still the doc has me down for October 4. It's only a 7 day difference right?  Let's not forget that my birthday is October 6, which may have to be shared this year. :)

We also scheduled our gender scan for May 14th and my next OB appointment is April 16th.

Here is one pic because I cannot get the blogger to shrink the picture right now.



Baby H was kicking up a storm and trying to do little dances for us.  Soo this confirms even more that the first tri does not have to be a miserable mess to have a healthy baby growing in me!

We finally announced it on Facebook. I never realized how much love was on Facebook! As of right now there are 80 likes and 60 comments!! WOW! And Ryan has even more on his status, since he updated his too.

I also talked with the doctor (again) about the running/working out. It's still fine. And he still encourages it...  I have heard from a few concerned friends/family, gotten texts, private facebook messages, etc. asking if it's ok that I still run, and telling me to "be careful".  But, I am being careful. And I know what my body can and can't do. I was a runner and spinner before and being pregnant does not have to stop that.  I am not handicapped. I am pregnant. Most do not understand how EASY my first tri has been for me and that I do still have a ton of energy. Exercise might have to be modified but does not mean that I can't run or workout. Sure I look at my times still and think, "aw man I used to be able to run so much faster!" It's all worth it.  We are so incredibly blessed to be on this journey. My speed has decreased by about 30 seconds to 1 minute per mile. It's ok though. I signed up for a 10k on April 15th and plan to run this shirt, only it will be a green tank top. I will be sure to upload a pic when I get it! Here is a link.
