Walked 3 outside by myself- well with Frankie. ;-(  Needed to get out of the house after J and I had an explosive fight about who won or lost a game of Yahtzee... Hormones are the best!

Went 3 on TM after work and did the stair climber for 11 minutes before the Christmas gathering at a coworkers house. It was fun and low key... good to meet peoples spouses and such. Too bad Jordie couldnt make it.

Went 3 on the TM before work, then did lunges, tricepts and sit ups... wondering how long I will be able to do sit ups? I want to keep my core strong so I can PUSH. ;-) I will have to start doing planks and push ups. Yuck.

The trick I play on myself in the morning seems to be working, although it seemed very cruel today. I did not want to go! Too tired. However, when I purposfully leave all of my stuff to get ready for work at the gym in my locker I am forced to go, I have no choice. Of course, I'm glad I went, always am. But now all I want to do is go back to sleep and get rid of this headache.

Went 3 on the TM and did stair climber for 10 minutes. Then situps and streatching.

Blood work today at the new doctors office and real Dr. appt. tomorrow. Hope everything is going well and I hope I finally get to hear the heartbeat tomorrow.

FOUR, yep thats right. ;-) After yesterday's doctor appointment he assured me that running and excersising will make a world of difference througout this pregnancy. Monitoring my HR is outdated and keeping it under 150 is ridiculous- it's actually good for the baby to have my heartrate high. Especially since everything looked so good, doc said all my blood work came back great, my hr and blood pressure were great too. So this was enough to convince Jordan that running more than 3 is okay and perfectly good for buddy and me. ;-) I also go to hear babies HR- it was awesome! Jordan couldnt be there so I recorded it.. If I knew how I would post it. A fast 160 BPM- old wives tale says its a girl if it's that fast! Seems like it's accurate about 50% of the time. Ha.

Anyway- it was a Happy Christmas Eve, Jordan and I went out at his parents house along westside highway. It was nice mild weather and an all around great start to Christmas Eve.
