Happy Thursday to everyone! I am starting a new thread with the hope that we post a little more frequently!
How is everyone doing? Any news we should know about?!!! I hope everyone is feeling well and happy!
I have finally reached a wonderful milestone as I am now 12 weeks and a day~ 6 more days until THE SECOND TRIMESTER!!! Yeah!
I have been on goal to keep up with my exercise, and it makes me feel so empowered! I must recommend the Kathy Smith Pregnancy aerobic tape to anyone who is looking for a good workout. I did it with both of the other pregnancies and it brings back such warm fuzzies for me. I actually remembered all the steps as soon as I did it for the first time! What I like about it is that it is challenging for pregnancy but it really focuses on keeping your heartrate under 140, she does 2 HR checks and a borg scale check as well. Anyway, I really like it. My HR is naturally high, and so it's hard for me to guage how much exercise is appropriate for me now. The exercise portion of the tape is 50 minutes and I feel energized not tired afterwards. Really. I am also LOVING water aerobics, but I am taking a break as I came down with some kind of virus and it showed its ugly face as a cold sore on my mouth~! I have NEVER had a coldsore before...so I want to make sure that I don't spread it. Hopefully it'll be gone by next week.
It's rainy and grey here in Illinois today. My DS reminds me everyday that it is only *5*(today) days until Spring! He's so cute--as a 6 year old, he's so spunky and has such positive energy! When it is a beautiful day out, he always says, "Mom! It's a beautiful day! He is my joy boy and a really delightful person. My other son (9) is also a wonderful treasure, but in a different kind of way. He's passionate and has an artistic personality. (The brooding artist) They are like day and night, and yet both of them have such unique and wonderful qualities! It makes my heart so happy that they are my sons. I feel so blessed and life is such a wonderful journey seeing them become who they are. If I were to elaborate on all of the wonderful qualities of my DH, it would take days. I am lucky to have a man who is as loving and passionate as he is. I suppose having a third child was such a strong desire for me because of the three of them. We have such a wonderful family that if money (and age) weren't an obstacle- I would have a bunch of kids!
We are all truly blessed to be able to have these little angels inside of ourselves~
I can't wait to see who it is I have in this womb. What wonderful qualites will he or she have, and the experience of this all over again...
Am I on a hormonal surge or what?! LOL
Anyway, I hope that everyone here is gonna post what is going on in their lives!
Blessings and Bellyrubs to all!
