I am 36 weeks and one day pregnant. Wha what?! When and why did this happen?! I blame my husband. But I could have sworn we both agreed never to get into this mess again…
I kid, I kid. We are thrilled to be meeting our little girl soon. And her big brother is over the moon excited! He’s slightly terrified that the baby is going to “break you,” but we keep reassuring him that she’s not and mommy’s body is in fact able to have a baby.
*awkward silence*
So it turns out that on days that I run I am in an extraordinarily fantastic mood. On days that I don’t and attempt some prenatal yoga, it’s best to steer clear. I think I attempted my last prenatal yoga workout yesterday. It’s not for me.
My OB must think I am freakishly obsessed with running. Every appointment I ask another question about my ability to continue running. How much longer can I run? When will I be able to resume running post baby? Am I crazy for still running? Yadda yadda yadda. The good news is that I am indeed still running, I feel great, and I am hoping to continue until D day!
My mileage goal for 2013 is 500 miles. So far I have earned 149.75 miles. Yes, I am .25 miles away from 150. And yes, I realized this after I finished my run this morning. Ah, such is life. So Saturday I’ll make up for it. Maybe I’ll take a walk this afternoon with Boo and see what else we can get accomplished, mileage-wise.
I have more great news! I have officially been Facebook-free for 15 days! I think. I actually really don’t know the exact date of my departure. But I must say, a) after reading the declaration of Facebook-freedom, I feel like a recovering addict. And b) I haven’t been in a more positive place in my life since I joined Facebook in the first place.
I truly feel like a huge, heavy, burdensome weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I don’t feel jealous anymore, I don’t have hurt feelings for no reason anymore, and it turns out I have a lot more spare time on my hands than I realized. Granted this is all about to change once baby girl makes her debut and Boo finishes school for the summer, but I will enjoy it while it lasts.
I came across an article about teens and Facebook use, and I thought it was really interesting because it turns out all people of all ages have the same feelings toward the social networking behemoth. It’s not just random people here and there. It’s a lot of people. So if Facebook ever gets you down, empower yourself to just leave. It’s so silly, really. A social networking site meant to bring people together is actually tearing them apart.
Here are a couple articles documenting the above phenomenon, and almost reflecting my exact sentiments:
Playgroup has been phenomenal lately. It turns out we have a fantastic new class of members. They are so active and enthusiastic, and caring and genuine. It’s wonderful. I have been fortunate to have met and befriended some very strong, wonderful women (and men) through playgroup membership over the last several years. I am thankful for all of these incredible opportunities and people that have come into my life.
Anyways, that’s my life. Getting ready for baby, still running, Facebook-free. Never been happier!
