Here we go again~

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:)

I couldn't seem to find it in me to do anything today!I was up again all night last night (from about 1:00am until 5:30ish) so I couldn't get out of bed and couldn't find the energy to run.  However, the crazy thing is that once I seem to get going, I can't seem to stop and feel FULL of energy.  

So, I was just able to get out tonight after 10:00pm for another walk around the neighborhood.  It was probably just barely a mile but nice to get out and walk the dog and have some quiet time:) 

Managed to get out of bed this morning and on the TM for some exercise!! I just walked and ran (.5/.5) until I got to 2 miles then walked a bit longer to cool.  Then I did some weights for my arms for about 10 minutes! Nothing much at all, but at this point...............I am just hanging in there doing what I can do:). 

So, I went to the Doc today and my body is finally progressing!!! If I don't go into labor on my own, he will induce me on Monday!! However, to be honest, I really really hope that I have her before then because I don't want to me induced.  I am a mix of feelings and emotions at this point.  I was induced with my first baby and didn't care for it!! Then, went into labor with my 2nd and 3rd and really actually enjoyed it!! For this reason, I would LOVE to be able to go into labor on my own and should probably just wait to see what my body decides to do but can't bare the thought of going past Monday!! It's so hard here at the end to make sense of things in a pregnant women's brain!!!  So, start sending some positive vibes my way and let's get this little girl here before Monday, how does that sound???

In any event I left the Dr. and came home and jumped on the treadmill! I was hoping to get things going even more so, but.............once again, it didn't happen!! I just walked and ran to get to 3 miles (walked out an extra .25) and then basically paid for it for the rest of the night!! Oh well, only a few more days of it and she will hopefully be here:).  That makes me excited to think about!!! 

Was up from about 4:00am having some heavy duty contractions so I decided to get up and get on the treadmill to see if I could move something along.  I walked .5, then ran a full mile, then walked and ran out the last .5.   NO LUCK!!! At this point, I am totally jinxing myself.  As soon as I was done running the contractions basically stopped and so I got ready and went to work!! At work, they started up again at 1:00 until about 4:00 and stopped again!!! The anticipation and question of when she is coming is honestly killing me! But, if I haven't had her by Monday they are inducing me so it's nice to know that I only have a few more days before I get to meet my daughter!! It's exciting!!!

Such a great day for me today! Today is my birthday so I was greeted with breakfast in bed by my sweet husband!!! Then we layed and vegged in bed until almost 9:00am (something we NEVER do that I thoroughly enjoyed).  Once I finally got up I decided to go get on the TM and get some miles in.  I just got in 3 and then had to start getting ready for the day.  We ran to a Soccer game, had lunch with family, then dinner later that night with family!! It was a great day!!  This will be my last run before having my baby girl!! Tomorrow is Sunday and I am being induced Monday so.............farewell to running for a couple/few weeks!!!
