Oct 1 - 6 (24 weeks)

24 weeks - "long as ear of corn"

Monday - 24 weeks today, 2nd trimester DONE, yay, one more! (ugh) Went on a walk this morning, I was jogging and feeling good until I tripped over a curb when I was moving off the sidewalk to avoid sprinklers, darn it, been here before with kids in utero... with baby Joseph I was in a small car accident, I got hit and spent a day in the hospital to monitor the baby, tripping over a curb with Hyrum in utero up at Park City, tripping with baby Owen... here we go again. But I gotta be a responsible bearer of children. ...Good thing I already had an ultrasound scheduled for today, so yay. Everything placenta wise looked good with baby from my slip and fall, and 3 of the 4 concerns they had last ultrasound also looked normal today, yay. They said the baby is 1 lb 5 oz. My amniotic fluid still measured high, she gave me a paper slip to come back in 4 weeks but I didn't schedule it, going to tell my dr. I don't want to go in again, I don't see a reason. Weight this morning 162.0, doh, I really jumped through the 150s fast... quite a big jump from last week but better than I was 2 years ago with Daniel - (see end of this post), so that's good. I'm just going to keep up the daily workouts and keep myself strong, trusting I'll get my body back sometime next year, yay

Friday - Woke up to do my 10 minutes of stretching, I love it. Its raining outside, so I did my cardio on the treadmill this morning - 2.5 miles in 35 minutes. Listened to Killers Wonderful Wonderful, did 5 min walk and 5 min jog repeated 3 times, then one more 5 min walk. Gotta good sweat going on, now it's 7 am and I'm done! Although I might stretch a little more. So far during this pregnancy my hips are not hurting me at all, and my left calf varicose veins haven't hurt at all either.
