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.

I am no longer pregnant!!! Our baby was born last Sunday on the 14th. It was a bit of a scary delivery which I will write details later but all turned out well and we are doing great. Dad and the other kids are at church and it is so nice to have some piece and quiet. These moments are going to be few for the next several years.

Her name is Emmie Britta Holmes and she was 7 lbs. 8 oz. and 20 in.

Physically I feel really good just tired and emotional. Overall I really do feel great. I am looking forward to being active again but, I am going to give myself atleast 4 weeks if not 6. This is probably the perfect time of year to not rush back into exercise.

Weight: 0.00

Congratulations Britta!! Ironic - everyone packed on a lot of weight this weekend and you did the opposite. It puts everything in perspective when you do something as amazing as create a new life. I hope you have a great rest of the year and enjoy your new addition to the family.
