Pregnancy Update

We find out on Tuesday if we've got a boy or a girl.  We're pretty excited!  I've been running three times a week solid for about a month now.  I've gotten myself up to two miles at a time, and have stagnated there for a week or so. This week, it's time to go a bit longer!  I've got four weeks to get myself up to three miles, all the while fighting my ever-growing belly and lowered energy levels.  I feel optimistic about it so far, but am being fair to myself and recognizing that I'm doing really well for myself, whether or not I manage to complete a 5K at a run by September 8th.  Some of my family members have been training along with me, via a google doc spreadsheet.  We're keeping track of our exercise and eating habits, and it's totally helped me to start eating a ton more vegetables and far fewer sweets.  Good things are happening.  My weight gain has been a lot slower this month than this point in my other pregnancies, so we're doing the right thing!  Here's to a smaller baby!  Hoo-rah!  (Hoping.)
