So, I thought Jason was a bad blogger - I am absolutely no better and I apologize for anyone who is actually still checking our blog! I promise I will try to make a better effort to update this! I'm making it a mini-resolution to update at least once a week until Olivia makes her appearance in 13 weeks! Yes, how time flies by.
First off...I don't think we ever posted that Baby A is indeed a little girl! Olivia Shea Abernathy is happy and health and extremely active! I never realized how crazy a little baby can be - you hear stories about babies moving and how fun it can be but let me tell you about our little one...she is CONSTANTLY on the move. Supposedly, babies sleep 12 -14 hours a day. DO NOT believe everything you read. She is awake and moving when I get up at 6:30, she moves pretty much all day long, she has a lovely spurt of energy between 8:30 - 9 every night and doesn't really calm down until after I fall asleep. She has moments during the day when she is calm but very few and far between. She is certainly her daddy's girl! Makes me nervous about the future and if I'll ever sleep again...
Second...I'm getting HUGE. I may post a pic here soon to show you all that I am in no way stretching the truth. It's been an amazing transformation in the last month. I literally get bigger every day - I just hope this doesn't continue for the next 13 weeks or I will have to be transported around in a wheelbarrow! I'm going to try to get back into a better workout regime here this week as I know that labor isn't exactly going to be a walk in the park and I'm going to need all of the strength and stamina I can muster!
Speaking of working out, I have my post-baby workout plan already mapped out on a little calendar for myself and it all concludes with a half-marathon in October. Now, I know what most of you (those of you that know me well) are thinking - "this is what? the third time April has mentioned half-marathon or marathon training?" But, this time, it's for real! I really have no choice, I have to get back in shape - I've realized that (vain as it may sound), I do not enjoy gaining weight, life is a lot harder when you have those extra pounds weighing you down and frankly, I feel a lot better about myself at my pre-baby weight (actually I feel a lot better at my wedding weight so that's what we're striving for). And, I think the best way to get there is to do something I actually enjoy - running! I'm not going crazy and trying to run a marathon, I think a half is a very achievable goal and I'm expecting everyone to keep me accountable!
Well, that's about it for now - promise posts will be more frequent!
