andee's running

I was excited to run this morning, since it had been almost a week since I last did anything physical.  We went up to the Olympic Oval because of the terrible winds and cold weather.  It was fun to see Jody and Paula - they are fast!  We had a nice time chatting and laughing.  4 easy miles and everything felt great.

As for a quick update on the ultrasound...the sac only measured 4 week size so they had me do a quanitative blood test and those results came back matching perfectly to being 4 weeks.  I'm going back in today for another blood test to see if the numbers are going up or down.  My nurse seems quite positive, but I have been in this boat several times before so I will prepare myself for either way.  Thanks to all of you for your kind words and prayers.

I decided to walk on the treadmill today.  The boys  played great and I kind of enjoyed the slower and more relaxed atmosphere that came with walking instead of running.  However, after about 20 minutes and just over a mile into it I was ready to run.  I was starting to get a little bored.  I stuck with it and am glad I did.

Things are still quite unsure with my pregnancy.  I keep having blood tests and the numbers just aren't going up like they should, but they are increasing.  I will have another ultrasound on Tuesday.
