Something that I have struggled with during this pregnancy is the thought of looking pregnant earlier than I "should." It should not really matter, but it is something that I was a little self conscious of in the beginning...not that I could really do anything about it!
I have to say that my husband has been my #1 fan (and always is) during this time. He loves my little prego belly and loves the baby growing inside (I still find it hard to believe that I am prego!). I am fine with it for the most part - it is what it is - but I am determined that I will lose ALL of the baby weight - plus the 10 pounds from the 1st pregnancy that I did not loose - after the baby is born! It might take a little while, but I am determined to really do something about it - meaning exercise and eating healthy! :)
So, that is why I have begun to exercise again - I need to get into shape now and into a routine, so that I can hopefully stay in the routine after the baby is born. I have no idea what it is like to have two children, but I am hoping that I will still be able to find the time to do things like take a walk!

On The Road Again
This past Wednesday, I had my 17 week well-baby check up. Everything went just fine. The baby's heartbeat was between 136-140 - so, it is still "on the fence" as far as the old wives tale is concerned. What is your guess? Well, we will hopefully find out the gender of our baby on the way in about 3 weeks!
Well, on to what was on my mind today. When I first found out that I was prego, I was so faithful in going for a daily walk with Brady (who is currently walking around the house with one sneaker on and plastic star sunglasses on his face - he is so adorable). Anyway, the weather started to get really hot, we went on vacation, and maybe a few days of rain, and that was it - I was out of the routine! I have been thinking about going for walks again, but that is all that I have been doing - thinking about it...until today!
This morning, Brady and I went for my regular walk around the development, and let me say, I felt really out of shape during the last 1/4 of my walk! It was also a little later than I wanted to go, so it was already starting to get a little hot and humid! So, I have decided that I am going to exercise every weekday morning, unless I have an appointment that is early in the morning (that does not happen too often, but once in a while).
Today was a beautiful day to restart my walking routine - and I am planning on continuing this!
