So I haven't blogged in a while, and exercise has definitely taken a back seat in my life for a couple of reasons:
#1 It was the end of the school year, teachers are running around like chickens with their heads cut off and I was supposed to run on purpose on top of that?!
#2 A week after school ended I started working at Fermilab in Batavia, IL which for all physics people is the COOLEST opportunity ever... I started running again around my grandparents' neighborhood because I am living with them, but not to the extent I had been because
#3 I am pregnant again.
Yes, this very happy news was probably conceived DAYS after my ultimate goal of the River Bank Run and my accomplishment of actually losing ALL my Owen-pregnancy baby weight. I call it Owen-pregnancy, because this time around I am shooting for a Cassidy-pregnancy.
Cassidy is my cousin Erin's first born, she's adorable and chunky in all the right baby places and I love her smile! Erin, however, was a I-stuck-a-basketball-in-my-t-shirt pregnant woman. I was so jealous that when you looked at her from behind she did not look like some whale-morphed-into-a-human mixed with a penguin-waddling-down-the-hallway. She looked like Erin, until she turned sideways and you wondered whether she was being funny by actually sticking a basketball underneath her t-shirt, or if in fact she was WITH CHILD.
So that's my goal! A Cassidy-pregnancy is in my future.
I'm 12 weeks along, running at least once or twice a week (I try), but come August I'm going into overdrive... well maybe just drive, considering I'm kind of in neutral on a hill :) I just recently quit my job as a high school teacher and accepted a job as a professor. Less $$$ (yuck), BUT less time (YAY!) which means more time with my boys and my future girl (it's a girl right? we can hope!)

Like my friend, Bri, who is about to burst any minute now but is quite the bean pole (more so than Erin) yet is sporting around this perfectly huge basketball of a belly without an ounce of it anywhere else. And it's a boy. Pregnancy just looks good on some people. You and I are not among those some. You'll have to start posting pics of the growing bump soon.
