Hi all. This blog entry will be a little random. But hey, my bloggie friends out there understand, right? : )
We spent the weekend with my dad and step mom celebrating his 71st birthday. We took him to a Clefhanger's concert (UNC male acapella group) in Charlotte. The concert was really good, and I think he enjoyed it as well. I made him an apple pie which seems to be his favorite thing in the entire world, seriously. He doesn't want gifts, clothes, cars. etc. He just wants pie. That suits me just fine! I should have taken a picture of it because it turned out really well. I did the lattice pattern on the top which I think it really pretty. I'm just glad I got to spend some good time with him on his birthday. By the way for those of you that don't know my dad, he looks more like 61 than 71. That's good for me because I expect him to be around a LONG time.
We go for our "big" ultrasound this Thursday where they will do the anatomy scan and make sure our little guy is doing well. I'll almost be 18 weeks and we'll do a double-check on his gender too. People have freaked me out that it was too early to tell at our last u/s, so we're going to check one more time. I'll keep you posted and hope to have some pictures for you too. I'm going to drink a regular coke before I go in the hopes of encouraging some movement. The little guy was pretty sleepy at our last u/s so we didn't get to see him move that much. I did some hip shaking to try to get him to move and you could tell he was a little startled. He was still pretty sweet though. But of course, I'm not biased! : )
My second awful cold in the last month is almost gone. I feel so much better than last week. I'm still wheezing a little since I am still pretty congested in my chest. So that has meant no running in the past week and a half. Hopefully I'll do okay in the Krispy Kreme Challenge I'm running in 2 weeks (4 miles). That race deserves a blog in itself, so stay tuned.
Guess I should finish getting ready for work. Hope you all have a great day!

Sweet, precious friend,
1. LOVE me some random!
2. Your dad DOES look more like 61, that old handsome devil!
3. LOVE me some Little Julio! Tell him to wiggle it up for Auntie Julie!
4. Glad you are feeling better - and I still SOOO haven't run yet, so don't you run either! :)
So I'm a little late, but congratulations on the pregnancy! How is it running during your pregnancy? I have wondered if I would be able to run whenever I am pregnant.
Erin--thank you! It's pretty exciting. I've been able to run a good bit, only much more slowly with more walk breaks. You can run in pregnancy as long as you keep your heart rate under 140, which is easy if you slow way down so you can talk comfortably. Some days I feel really good and can do as much as 4 or 5 miles (max). But other days I struggle to walk 2 or 3. You just have to listen to your body! Thanks for dropping by--good to "see" you.
