Беги, Беги, Беги

Today while changing my kidlet before her bath we did the usual.  I took off her outfit, then her dirty diaper and we aired out.  She loves to run on her back during these moments.  So she did.  And I leaned over her and said "Беги, Беги, Беги" and she let out a laugh.  A real laugh!  So I did it again.  And she laughed again.  Luckily both dad and I were there.  She got three belly laughs out before it stopped being funny.  But 12 weeks old and we're laughing.  :)  Never mind that it took a solid 2.5 hours to get her to sleep afterwards... the laugh was still pretty solid.

The Final Stretch

Image
People who run will understand when I talk about the final stretch.  When you know you only have a certain distance left that is totally manageable, but you have to take yourself out of your body and into your head-space in order to make it through.  You turn the corner, you see the finish line, but then you notice something.  The wind is blowing at you, the ground has an incline up to the line, your left calf is cramping up... and then you start to have doubts.  This is pretty much where I am now mentally.  I know that it's doable.  I know that it's right around the corner.  I know that one of the worst-case scenarios is that a week from now I'll get induced and that then it will all be done... but I need to get into my head and out of my body to do it.  So that's what I'm working on. I had one of my legs give out on me today.  I was sitting on a hard chair tutoring a kid on the cell organelles, osmosis and diffusion and after 30 minutes ...

Things I Miss

Ok... I'm overall a happy lady, but here are some things I've been missing lately (almost 34 weeks down!). Running.  I love this weather.  This is the weather that I long for when I run.  I'm not one of those crazy ladies who loves to jog around as soon as it's over 70 degrees... that's when I start to hide indoors.... I love cold.  I love cold morning runs.  And these 50 degree mornings make me long for running shoes, an Ipod, and then a cappuccino afterwards.   Feeling pretty.  I'm not a little lady normally, but I'm proud of my curves.  The curves at 34 weeks are pushing my self-esteem limits.  I think it's perfectly acceptable to be feeling this way... but I'm starting to look forward to getting my own body back.  The ability to run around.  I'm a spastic lady that has trouble sitting still.  I love to sprint up stairs.  This whole sprinting thing is slowly disappearing due to little-itty-bitty lungs. :)   ...

Just When You Thought You Could Breathe Easy...

Image
This is pretty much an accurate description of last night from 2:45am until about 4:45am and then a good 3 hour chunk of today.  Everyone I told over the weekend "maybe we've turned the corner!" I take it back completely.  This picture will for sure be used as guilt material throughout the teenage years.  Sigh.
