Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. Jacque - I am so excited to hear that you are having a little girl. You are going to have so much fun! I had ballet recitals for my daughter last weekend, and I got some really great pictures. Her and I have such a connection. My son and husband share that same connection--Connor always preferred daddy no matter what I did, or how hard I tried. Annelise really prefers mommy no matter what daddy does. I hope this little guy is a little different. Both our feelings are hurt every now and then over the other's strong preference.
I've been gone for awhile because I have been super busy with work and personal commitments, and then, my computer was broken for two weeks. Still not sure what happened to it, but my applications wouldn't work. I had to completely restore my computer. My old files were saved, luckily.
Since last post, I had my 24 week appt. which included a second ultrasound as the baby was a little small for my dates. My due date should be 9-16, but it was showing his size to be due on 9/23. Although I do have longer cycles at times, I had been having 30-day cycles for 6 months so instead of bumping my due date out a whole week, the dr and I decided that I would have a second ultrasound at 24 weeks. Well, this time, the ultrasound was showing a due date of 10-3. There is no way this could be correct (I had a postiive pee test on 1/15), and I was really worried at first, but after talking to my dr., I felt better. She told me not to worry, that their ultrasound machine uses 3 measurements and a mathematical formula to calculate the due date. Apparently 2 of the measurements were on track, the third was small (his abdomen). She is referring me to a high-risk ob ultrasound technician just to make sure everything is okay. I'm not sure when the appt will be as the office was closed for the holiday Friday afternoon, reopening on Tuesday. Everything else looked great - heart, spine, brain, cord, placenta. Just strange as my babies are usually 8 lbs or more. I guess we'll see. My uterus is still measuring around 24 weeks and my weight gain has been within appropriate guidelines. I started the pregnancy out at what I consider a healthy weight, but may be considered a bit low by medical standards, but still, a good size for my body. Since this appt., I felt flu-like over the weekend and haven't been able to eat much. It worries me more now because I'm already concerned about his size. I will just feel better after that next ultrasound appt. to hopefully hear that everything is just fine.
My workout week was okay. I actually did quite a bit of shopping this past week, and that cut into my workouts more than it should have. Actually, with my computer being down I was working out of my business partner's home quite a bit too which ate into my workouts as well since it only leaves the evening for my workouts which is a little hard to muster the energy after a long day. I also had a b-day party on Saturday and company on Sunday, along with feeling flu-like, I haven't worked out since Thursday. I'm contemplating an easier workout tonight, but not sure if I should go there yet. I may just take it easy until tomorrow. 15 weeks to go - I think I just might make it. This has definitely been the hardest (most emotional) time of my life.
Sunday: Cathe's new step tape with 3 intervals at the end - section 1 & 2 only (why can't I ever remember the name of this tape?!?)
Monday: Off
Tuesday: Cathe's new step tape with 3 intervals at the end - section 3 & intervals (modified)
Wednesday: Leaner Legs (went down to 25 lbs.)
Thursday: Step & Intervals (felt great after this workout)
Friday: Off
Saturday: Off
Oh yeah - I also had a very sore leg on Friday. I was wondering if it was from the plyo-jacks. Not doing those again. It hurt as if I was getting a charlie horse in my quad muscle until today. I still notice it a tiny bit today, but not too much. I think my ligaments are just getting softer and I need to take it easy on the high-impact stuff.
I look forward to reading up on all of your posts and hope that you are all doing great. Take care. I'll post when I know more about my next ultrasound.
