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.

Ran 1 walked 4. Just couldn't get my body to do what my mind kept telling it. Still happy to get out and get some sort of exercise.

Went to the DR. yesterday and everything looks great from my ultrasound. I always like to get past that too know everything is developing properly. I also had some extra blood work done for Downs Syndrome and a few other things and all came back negative. Feeling very blessed.

I gained 6 lbs. at this appt. trying not to freak out since my total weight gain for 20 weeks is 8 lbs. Still I don't like that 6 lbs. is all from one month. My Dr. was happy I caught up a little though.

I bought the cutest pair of silver shoes for my new baby girl yesterday. SO CUTE!!!!

Two BBQ's and swim party to go to today. Gonna be busy fun!

What? Having a baby with Down Syndrome is a blessing.

I know Britta. When we learned there was a chance that our little one was going to have DS, I called my best friend who had a 3 year old with DS. The first thing he said was I'm sorry. He said even though they love their son more than anything, he wouldn't wish having a kid with DS on anyone. And it is hard, with how often she gets sick. But I knew she would be so happy even before she was born, so I started to get excited.
