Sitting here resisting the major temptation to go on my planned Saturday morning run while the very hard working hubby sleeps.  We were at our apartment till 1am last night moving and we need to go back and clean so we still have a lot of work to do...hence the no running. 

We saw our baby for the very first time at our first ultrasound yesterday and it was the most amazing experience I've ever had.  I knew it would be great from what I hear when everyone else experiences that, but wow!  I would travel to the end of the earth and back for that baby!  It was kicking it's feet and moving it's hands and it was SO CUTE!!!!  It can do all that and it's only 9 weeks old!  I can't stop thinking about it.  When I saw him or her, the first thought I had was "I need to back off a little bit" hehe. :)  So I think I'll revise my goal to be 20-25 miles per week and rest a little more than I usually do.  I'm gonna be a mom!!

BIG smile on my face right now. Seriously, you think you understand the love of a parent for a child, until you see and have your own. It is amazing! It never stops (even when they are being little turds and you want to beat them!) and it only grows over time as you watch them become their own little person and grow and learn. There is a time and season for everything, so just do running when you FEEL like it. The hardest thing for me about running when I was pregnant was listening to my body. We seriously have gotten SO used to pushing down that voice in our bodies that we can barely hear it, but when you are pregnant you MUST start listening to it again. I know it is hard and seems counter intuitive, but remember - time and season. You will get back to speed and pushing through the mental "stops" again, but now is NOT that time. If you don't make 20 a week, don't worry about it. Just enjoy this time! Remember, you will only be pregnant a hand full of times in your life - and it goes SO quickly and you forget the good parts so easily when it is all said and done with. So, sit back, relax and enjoy this time (as much as possible!) - it will be a fleeting memory before you know it.

Congrats again on being a mommy!! What a wonderful, wonderful feeling!!! :)
