Agggggggg, just had to post the rather silly story behind this MILE that I ran this morning!!!  I am officialy driving myself crazy and DO NOT SLEEP A WINK at night! I wake up at 1:00-2:00 every night and lay awake until getting out of bed at about 7:00ish.  Today is Sunday.........I do not exercise on Sunday but the night was a brutal one and my mind was going crazy! I woke Ty up at 2:00 asking him if he thought I should strap on my shoes and go sprinting up the street?? Of course he was like "Um, No, you can't go running at 2:00 in the morning", but I really just felt like I needed to SPRINT!! Like, in an attempt to run my body into labor or something.  So, after being brought back down to reality, I got up this morning, put on my shoes and went down on the treadmill.  I walked for 2 minutes then sprinted at a 7:15 pace for 4 MINUTES!!!! before walking out the last minutes to reach a WHOLE MILE (I know, impressive).  So, do you think it did anything?? NOPE!! Sure didn't!!! Not so much as even a Braxton Hicks contraction! Honestly!  It sounded so fun to have a little Spring Baby girl on the 1st Day of Spring but just didn't happen.  Oh well, another lesson learned that she is going to come when she is ready!! For now, I need to find a large CHILL PILL and try to get some sleep at night!!!!

PM: Went out for a little walk around the block!!  I am not going to post the mileage but it would have been a bit over a mile.  I kind of like walking around my neighborhood at 10:00-10:30 at night!! Something fun about it:)

You are so FUNNY!!! I hear ya! Babies come when they want to! The fact that you have so much energy is a good sign. Be aware tho when you want to get up in the middle of the night and start to clean house and double check all the nursery stuffs, etc., that means the *nesting* instinct just kicks in, the very next day is when the sweet little baby will be born! :)

I do hope you get some sleep (it's the baby's way to prepare you for many sleepless nights ahead) so you will be able to enjoy the new one when she's finally here!

Oh cute Smooth! It's so good to hear from you:)!!! I miss ya!!!

See, that is just the problem....I would say I have been officially nesting for almost 2 weeks now. I have gotten up several times in the night and done laundry, house cleaning, organizing, etc and.......still no baby! I did yard work on Friday for over 3 hours thinking it would induce something...............nothing!! I clean my house every night before going to bed folding clothes, vacuuming, etc.........nothing!! I have gone through the nursery a dozen time, have every bad packed you can imagine, charged my video camera, got cameras ready, the other night in the middle of the night...and nothing!!! I think my energy is almost starting to give me some anxiety! It's really bizarre and foreign to me! he he!!! SO.......now I am wondering if I should find some sort of CHILL PILL to calm me down! Maybe I need the exact opposite of what typically induces labor!!! I think that may be the ticket:)!!!! Awwww, thanks again for checking in! It's so great to hear from you! You continue to amaze me with how ambitious you are and what a great little runner you are!!! AMAZING!!! Lots of love~

Holly Cow! That is a long nesting time! LOL :) My, this little sweet girl is gonna make you *run for the money*! Hey, isn't the moon full the other night? There you go, she's gonna come anytime now! I'll be checking for some pink announcement on your blog!!! Have you picked out a name? I am so excited! Can't wait to see her picture!

Now go take a nap, you cute little mommy, you! :)

Yes, I got all sorts of comments about going into labor on Saturday night because of the FULL MOON, but...........still nothing:). I am to the conclusion that she really, is going to come when she is ready because I have tried pretty much everything to get her here early with no avail:). We do not have an official name just a couple that we like! We need to get her here and look at her first! We are kind of wierd that way:)!!! I will post some pics when she arrives:). Oh it makes me getty just to think about:) Thanks again cute Smooth! I sure love talking to you !!! I hope that you have a great day!!!
