Today was a day of lots of ups and downs. I had my first appointment with my friend and midwife Holly Richardson. She is out to set a world record on kids. She gave birth to four and has adopted 20. Three of whom are still in Africa because of some problem with the US government and Visas..not sure of the details. I wasnt' expecting to hear the heartbeat.....but we did!! I've really got a baby in there...it's always exciting to hear those first flutters! I had a great run for the first four miles of it. I averaged 10;30 pace which is tempo pace for a pregnant lady in my shape. It felt great but then I crashed on the last mile and could barely do 12. After the run I rushed off to be the first in line for the BYU surplus sale. I've dreamed for months and months of buying a large cabinet that I can lock the toys away in so my kids don't get out fifty million different toys while I'm mopping the floor upstairs and can't see what they are doing. I had instructions from a friend who'd been to them before and drove to the spot. I didnt' want to miss the line. I walked around for 40 minutes trying to find the right building thinking maybe I'd gotten there too early. I finally called Sasha and he told me the location had been changed. I didn't check the e-mail she sent because I believed it to be in the same spot...as I'm sure she did too. Anyway, the point of this is that walking around so much right after a fairly fast run for my pregnant body killed my leg...the twinge went to pain and I was limping. When I finally found the right place thanks to Sasha the cabinets were all sold and I walked out hurt and sad.....and without a cabinet....sigh.....
