Over the cold
I love not being sick! It feels like I was sick all last month and now that I'm 100% again I am so relieved to breath and have energy. I'm grateful that Claire was able to get better too and we get to go back to kid care at the gym and even join nursery! She technically isn't 18 months until the 13th of February but the leaders in there took her the last two weeks for the second hour of church. It makes it so much easier to participate and follow the lessons again and when we go to pick her up she is always giggly and happy. There will be even more happiness in there soon because Chris just got a calling to be in the nursery, I don't know when they plan to give me one though.
Claire
We are so happy our little cutie is now feeling better and enjoying playing and getting out of the house with the nice weather we've had here. There were a few days that were so nice out that we went for walks down to the church with just a jacket on and Claire enjoys the time she gets outside. Along with kid care and nursery, we have had a play date with the downstairs neighbors and it was fun to see them interact. They are only about 2 weeks difference in age and seem to be learning all the same things about wanting toys all to themselves. They could be happy with one toy until they see another kid playing with a toy, then they have to go play with that one too!
Baby #2
I've been feeling pretty big and whenever someone asks that's always my answer with how I'm feeling, just big. There's pressure and a lot of feeling uncomfortable trying to pick up after Claire and sit and teach my classes in the morning but nothing like the numbness that I had with Claire. I used to wake up during the night and in the morning with no feeling in either of my hands and have to get my blood flowing while trying to teach classes. It was awful and I'm so glad that hasn't happened again and I just get to feel her moving around and playing in there as the worst of it. I've felt very lucky to be blessed with an easy pregnancy and being able to work out and enjoy time with family.
Workouts
I want to record for myself, and not really for anyone reading, what I've been doing with my workouts during this 3rd trimester. Every week day is a different muscle group that I lift weights for: Monday is chest, Tuesday is back, Wednesday is shoulders, Thursday is legs, and Friday is arms. Each day has 4 workouts that work the area I'm focusing on and then I spend 15-20 mins walking on the treadmill as a cardio workout some of the days. One the days I get my workout done in a short time I go for a 30 min swim which is my favorite way to do cardio at this point. I've started to swim for 45 mins on Saturdays and it is still feeling good so I will keep it up and maybe try an hour next week.
