After my 'woe is me, I'm so lazy' rant on my last post, I thought it fitting to now celebrate how great I'm feeling lately! So since then, I have managed to get in about 2-3 runs a week, plus walking as often as I find myself having time AND doing a prenatal yoga class last week and this week!
I think I am back in a good place finally! I am 17 weeks, and for the most part feeling pretty darn good with the whole getting tired and nauseous thing creeping in later at night usually, but I can't complain!
It makes me feel like maybe just maybe I'll do a 5k for the heck on it come Feb 5th. :) We'll see. Is it silly I want to be able to say I raced when I was preggers? I think it would make me sound tough! LOL!
On another note, we found a little gem living next door to us! Yes, another babysitter to throw into the mix! Her parents had come over and introduced themselves when we first moved in and mentioned their daughter wanted to 'get into' babysitting. I wasn't really sure what that meant, and we hadn't thought too much more about it. Then just a week or so ago, she actually distributed flyers to the local neighbors stating her qualification, age etc. and that she was looking for babysitting jobs! Sweet! I didn't think I would be utilizing her services so soon, but when Chris couldn't be home in time for my yoga class this week (yes, I think I'm hooked), I had the brilliant idea of seeing if she could watch Ethan for just an hour or two so I could go. She was available and that was that.
She is such a nice girl and she lives right next door! She has also babysat at church lots in the last year in the nursery and so has no problem with 2 yr olds. Plus her mom is home when she'll be sitting, which helps me feel a little more secure as well....'just in case'. Anyway, the experiment worked and Ethan seemed to love her.He was asking this morning where she was. :) So, I think he had fun and it was a success! So yay! Another one to throw into the mix of babysitting resources! You can never have enough for that last minute date or class you want to go to.
Also, the new baby is doing just great! He/she (we find out in 2 weeks if we'll be team blue or pink this time), had a checkup yesterday and had a strong heartbeat and was really active! The doc said 'Hear that? That's the distortion on the doppler from the baby moving around so much'. She finally was able to get the heartbeat after some chasing the kid around my belly for several minutes. LOL :)
And that's a wrap for now. Looking forward to the weekend and spending some family time!
