So I'm officially halfway through my pregnancy and I thought this day would never come...but FINALLY I can start counting down, well...sort of. I still have a long way to go! It has been such a beautiful journey so far and I can only imagine that the second part of it will be even more beautiful than the first. We are less than two weeks away from finding out if we will have a daughter or a son (wow, that sounds weird to say, but we are beyond ready)...and it will only make this even more real than it already was. So far not much has changed, except for the love we have for our little baby...which grows each day. I'm still not in maternity clothes (Come on belly...pop out already!!!), I still work out 5 days a week, and thank goodness my morning sickness has not reappeared. Speaking of working out while pregnant...I can't even tell you how many people ask me WHY WHY WHY are you working out pregnant. Well, first of all I do it for my own sanity… I would go absolutely crazy if I couldn't release my energy in the gym every evening.
I sit at a desk all day long and work, so that is the only part of my day I get to be active…so I actually really look forward to it.
And supposedly, there are so many benefits of working out; preparation for childbirth (it has been known to ease labor), energy boost, better sleep, reducing stress, and getting that pre-baby body back (ha, we hope).
I can constantly feel our little baby moving and kicking and it is so amazing.
I never knew I could love someone so much that I’ve never even met, but now I completely understand the love a mother has for her child.
It’s unconditional, irrevocable, and whole-hearted.
Still constantly praying for a healthy little one.
