37 Weeks
Posted
37 weeks today with P man...I've gained 17 pounds. I have to take a minute to toot my own horn because I have worked INCREDIBLY hard the past year to get to this point. 1 year ago I actually weighed more NOT pregnant than I do now at 9 months pregnant. This pregnancy was a surprise, and I was pretty devastated at first because I had worked so hard to get those last 20 lbs off from my first pregnancy. My goal was to gain no more than 20 lbs this pregnancy and I have managed to do it! Lots of ridiculously hard work, sweat, blood, and a few tears, but I did it! I'm proud of me for making my health a priority and for taking such good care of myself this pregnancy. GO ME!!! I'm also thankful for such a supportive husband who shares my same priorities. He is running a 5K next weekend and I can't wait to cheer him on!
37 weeks with Greenlee...who knows how much I had gained at this point-- probably upwards of 45. Totally ridiculous!
At my appointment today I was over 2cm dilated, 50% effaced, and the baby was at -1 head station. She said she might not see me next week but I'm sure they always say that to their hopeful mommas :) I actually don't mind waiting a little longer :) I'm feeling pretty darn good this week!

you. look. ahhhmazing. i've been thinking about doing a spin class at our gym but i'm not really a bike person (the seat hurts my lady parts) and i'm nervous/scared of the whole idea of it. how did you get into it?
Hey girl, I got into spinning back in 2005 actually and have done it off and on ever since. I LOVE it. It is the only thing besides running that really helps get those stubborn pounds off and keep my legs and bum super toned (and I enjoy it 10x more than running!). I bought a cushioned bike seat to help ease any discomfort down south ($9 on amazon)-- it makes all the difference! Another thing I love is that spinning is a group activity so you really start to bond with the people you see in class 2 or 3 times per week (everyone suffers together...haha!), which really helps me stay motivated. It's a great relationship-building opportunity. Thanks for the compliment-- made my night :)
Oh a bike seat! Good idea. Totally didn't know they existed.
I might try it out :) you're looking fantastic! Can't wait to see little man porter!! I was induced with Annabel at 10 days late and went into labor with Sam at 8 days late. So I definitely had opposite experiences! Good luck with whatever y'all decide :)
