I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Holy cow girl! 10 miles!! NICE JOB!!! Hey, I am doing Ragnar this year too!! We need to talk about our start times and see if there is a chance we could see each other!!! Good luck with the training, you are doing AWESOME!!!!

Kellie, I wish we could see each other but I am assuming we are not doing the same Ragnar. I am doing one in 6 weeks. It is from Huntington Beach to Coronado Island.

So exciting that you are do in a mere 4 weeks. Do what you can to get that little one here earlier! Crazy enough my first 3 were early and my last one was 3 days late induced! Do you have a name for your princess yet?

Silly me!! 1. I am sorry that I am just now responding to your comment about Ragnar from Monday 2.Ummm yah, I am doing Wasatch Back this year. I guess it might be high time for me to realize that Ragnar is Nationwide now and so chances of a person referring to the same RAGNAR that I am running are slim to none, silly me, ha ha!!! Sorry bout that:)

Oh, I sure hope I have this little girl early!! Your comment scared me a bit. I had my 2nd son 2 weeks early and my 3rd 1 week early so I am hoping for at least a little bit early but watch.......I will jinx myself and go overdue, that'd be my luck. I keep saying if I haven't had her in the next 2 weeks I am going for a 10 mile run but we all know that's not going to happen, I can barely run 2 miles at this point:)! We do not have an official name yet. Several that we like but we are one of those silly couples that has to see the baby before we can decide what to name her (not sure why as my babies never look like a specific name to me at birth). Oh the suspense. I just can't wait to see her!!!

I was seriously depressed every day my little one didn't come because all my others were 6,10 and 17 days early. Who would think I would go over!! Now that it is over I regret even being induced. I wish I would of let her come on her own. Oh well. This is so silly for me to say.. but try to enjoy your last weeks. Every time someone said that to me I would roll my eyes but now I miss it.

Don't you love their birthday too? I love meeting them for the first time. SO SUPER EXCITING!!! I am getting so excited for you just sitting here typing!!! Yeah for the Kellie and Tyler!!!

Please tell me you have headbands and big bows and cute little braclets to dress her up with!!?

From kellies on Tue, Mar 08, 2011 at 00:56:34 from 63.248.32.71

OH Britta, you are sweet and we sound so much alike! I always have the hardest time the last few weeks of pregnancy and then about 3 weeks after.....miss it! I am contradictive that way!! I really am trying to enjoy these last weeks though because this is most likely my last baby (about 99% most likely) so it will be the last few weeks of pregnancy for me, forever. That is a bit bitter sweet to think about! I need to tell myself that as I lay awake in the middle of the night because my hips are throbbing so bad I can't sleep:). Ha ha!!! And Yes, their Birthday is the BEST EVER! I love the whole hospital experience!!! Nothing like it in the world! I was induced with my first but then went into labor with my 2nd and 3rd. I agree that I will wait to go into labor with this one, I do not want to be induced so hopefully she will work with me and come a bit early or at least by her due date:)! Thank you for your excitement for us! So cute! I can hardly stand it myself. I have bought a few headbands but not any bracelets yet (I better get on that ha?). My friends are throwing me a shower this Thursday so I am excited to see how that goes and if I get some fun stuff! See, another area of FUN STUFF!!! Babies are great!!! I feel spoiled!!
