I used to like to exercise.......




So, last week I really started up with my exercise. However, I started up slowly last week. Thursday was an aerobics video. Friday was a play in the pool with Dan and Benjamin. I realized my maternity bathing suit is not "swim laps" friendly. Today, however I kicked it into high gear and did a 15 minute warm up on the tread mill at our gym here on base. Then, I joined in with a step aerobics class which kicked my bootie into shape very quickly. When I cough my stomach muscles ache so bad I wince. I literally said out loud in the class "sweet mother". I said that after the teacher continued to push us through a leg lifting work out at the end, even when all the people in the class were dropping like flies. (Literally!) So has anyone ever tried the Tae Bo videos? Imagine that...times 10!!!!

When I got home Dan was motivated to work out also. He ran 4 miles around our base that has many hills. He is feeling the burn also to say the least. It was all worth it though. Tonight for football night we had ribs (thanks to a recipe from Dennis) and sweet potato fries. So if we are going to eat like that we better be exercising it up! Right??? I have to keep saying that to myself. Because I can not imagine feeling this sore for no reason!!!

The good news for the day????

  • I got a 10/10 on my Criminal Law quiz
  • Dan had his last day of his school semester today, and is getting an A in his math class and a B in his English class!!
  • CHARGERS won Monday night football VS the RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

Image
I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
