I love burpees

Run/walk on the tread, and lots of packing to go on our trip.  Jim was out of town, so I had to do everything myself (and get the house cleaned).  Is it just me or does every woman hate to leave town with a dirty house.  I just hate coming back to it that way.  I was exhausted!

Another not so happy visit to the midwife/nurse.  As she was checking my belly she noticed that it was looking lumpy.  After further inspection, she figured out that the baby was laying transverse (the worst position they can be in at this point cause they can't come out normally during labor - most have to have c-sections...ugh.  She did an ultrasound to make sure (and also made sure she was a girl:))   I also found out that I have  strep-b again!! and have to be on the drip antibiotic 2 hours before baby is born.  It's not a huge deal, just a pain. 

However I left the office feeling discouraged after the talk of c-sections, and having to come in the following week to have her turned.  a doc has to do it, and I guess it's pretty painful.  Hopefully she flips on her own!

By the end of the day, she had turned, but she felt breach - I really didn't want to have to worry about this!

Really should've exercised today, but wasn't feeling it.  Exhausted from yesterday!

today was the 2nd half of our travel day to star valley, and it was rough:(  I could not get comfy and my feet were swollen by the time we got there.  it was so good to make it though - We traveled up to my gpa's 100th bday celebration, and I got to spend time with my army brother that I haven't seen in 5 years.   The trip was so worth it!

1 hour of a very modified turbokick.

I went to the little star valley gym and did the eliptical for 30 min. I put it on a plateau program and It was a seriously hard workout!  walked on the tread for 20 min after and lifted weights for about 5 min. 

Today was my grandpa's 100th birthday celebration - He is such an amazing man and I really admire the life he and my grandma lived.  He's so positive and loving, and he looks amazing for a 100 year old!  He still goes and does a stationary bike 3 x a week for 30 min.  More proof that exercise is the key to longevity. 

I managed to get in a run/walk (and it killed me!)  I don't want to admit it but I barely made it back.  I walked all but 15 min of it - I ran 1 - 5 min segment, then 2 - 10 min segments where I ran every other min.  That's about all I can do at this time.

We had a big dinner in the church gym, and played lightening with basketball afterwards.  We have a lot of tall, good athletes in our fam, so I was delighted to be able to hold my own with them - I got a lot of "Ty what are you doing!  You are 9 mo pregnant".  lol.  We had a ton of fun though!

After all the traveling it felt good to get on the tread and walk/ run a bit before my appt.  (very little running).  Prob 12-15 min total on the run.

I got a little frustrated and upset after the appt as I thought I'd be a lot closer than I was.  I was only dilated to a 1.5 and she was still sitting high.  I'm really trying to be patient!  So preggo hormones got the better of me, and I broke down a few times.  I can't wait to get back to normal!

I went to the washington rec center and did 40 min on the elliptical, and then only had time for about 15 min in the water.  Swimming felt a little easier than it has for sure! 

Jim surprised me and took me out to Benja's tonight for Valentine's Day:)  It was sooo yummy, except I ordered my red curry a little too spicy.  i had ordered a level 5 last time, and it wasn't even that spicy...That must have been a mistake because I could only get through half my meal.  It was sooo good though:) 

Today was kind of a rough day for me.  I had been kind of anti-social lately cause I just get tired of people's comments.  I know people don't mean to make me feel bad, but comments such as,"oh my gosh, you are huge!!!"  don't sit well with me.  I already know that I look like I have an entire basketball sticking out the front, and that it looks kind of funny on my small frame, but it just gets old I guess.  Maybe I'm just being a little extra sensitive and just really ready to get this baby out!  (due date is next fri). 

So anyways I went to Turbokick this morning, and got this reaction.  Lots of oh man, oh my gosh, holy cow....ugh!  It felt good to get a hard workout in, and had lots of contractions from it.  later on I went to train my clients for the last time at the rec center, and the front desk lady actually gasped at me.  Seriously what is wrong with people! 

Ok I know it will be over soon but I just had to get this off of my chest.  Don't tell pregnant ladies that they look huge!  We don't differentiate a huge belly from huge thighs, or a huge butt.

My tiredness is really getting to me!  I still managed to run/walk on the treadmill for an hour, and I really barely made it.  i only ran 3 - 1 min segments and it just killed (lots of pressure on pelvic region).  So I walked up inclines and on flat segments.  By the end I had slowed to about 2 on the tread.  I really think she's getting close:)

I was having lots of contractions today, so I decided not to do any extra exercise.  The baby felt really low, and it was uncomfortable just doing the chores around the house.  Is this going to happen soon????

Sleep has been a real prob this last month.  My nose is always congested and I have to use nose spray daily (not good).  I'm still feeling like I can't breathe when I lay down.  And I've had to use sleeping pills lately or else I wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning and can't go back to sleep.  They make me feel groggy all day but at least i'm getting some sleep.
