My goal today was to try and get 6 miles in! I really really wanted to do New Leaf (knowing that walking may consume over half of the course but not caring).  The weather has been SO DARN BEAUTIFUL that I just want to get out in it!! But............I woke up at 7:00 in a sever state of "Nesting" and starting working in my house instead (Tyler was still out on his run).  I got SO MUCH done, which felt nice.  Tyler got home from his run but I was in the thick of my cleaning and didn't want to stop so I told him to go finish some of his errands while I finished the house.  Then, I had a Baby shower for a neighbor, my son's soccer game, errands to run, grocery store, etc and so I basically ran out of time for New Leaf.  We got home and I hurried to get dressed just as the rain came in, DARN IT!!! So, I went down and got on the Treadmill.  I got 5 miles in (alternating walking/running) but my hips were killing me and I kept getting some sharp pains up the sides of my stomach so I took it as my queue to call it a night.  Glad I got at least 5 in and got to my 15 miles for the week:).  Have I mentioned that I am ready to have a baby????

Nice job on getting SO MUCH done and then still running. You are amazing! Enjoy the bun in the oven while you can, she will be here in no time and then you will be changing diapers and up all night! Not that any of that is bad, babies are worth it!

Holy moly Kellie, you are kicking tail. How much longer do you officially have? I can't wait for you to have your little girl. I've been snuggling my little one every spare second I can find.

Thanks Kel! I am not sure what is going on with me, I think I have just finally hit that point. I have felt good and positive but Saturday was the worst night to date. I was up every hour starting from mid-night until 7:00 (only skipped the 6:00 hour, which means I was up at 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, and for good at 7:00). My hips were hurting so bad that the pain kept waking me up!! Then, I was so tired yesterday from being up all night that I think it took it's toll. I know she will get here and time will fly but I just don't feel that great and am SO SO Anxious to meet my babes:) Just one of those moods I guess!I will work my way out of it:)!! Ha ha!

Hey Melody!! I have been thinking about you and keep going to your blog to see if there are any updates of sort!! It's SO GOOD To hear from you!!! Your baby is absolutely Perfect! So happy he is here and that all is well. I have 2 1/2 weeks still. It's hard for me to even type that because it seems like forever. What is that all about??? I know she will get here but am feeling VERY ready:)!!! The last weeks take as long as the first 8 months I swear! ha ha! Thank you for checking in! I hope that I can join you soon with being a new mommy! Nothing like it in the world! :). Awwwwwwww!!!!

OK, then! When it starts to get hard to sleep with the baby IN, it is time for the baby to come out! Now I am with ya!

Sorry about the aches and pains, she is so worth it thought, right?

From kellies on Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 14:13:59 from 160.7.253.36

Yes, it is all worth it!!! Like we were saying Friday, there isn't another time like being pregnant either and I LOVE LOVE LOVE feeling her inside of me growing and moving but it comes to a point that you just feel rotten:). I was out walking around my neighborhood at 10:30 last night trying to get something moving with no avail:). It will all be SO SO WOrth it and words can't begin to explain how blessed I feel, I think I am just overly excited and ready to meet her and to be honest..........am tired of hurting at the same time:)!!!! So contradictive aren't I??
