The 38th Week

I have been a delinquent blogger and can't believe I haven't posted in over 2 months. In efforts to get ready for babe, we moved our computer downstairs and with the computer out of sight, it's out of mind as well. After 8-9 hours of staring at the computer all day at work, there hasn't been much of an incentive for me to do more of the same at home. Anyway, I finally finished work last week and so have a bit more time on my hands! I just hope that I get a little break between work and the arrival of the new babe.

My belly has grown large since my last post and with nearly 30lbs of extra weight on this bod, I feel like I'm doing a new kind of resistance training! The only thing is that I don't feel like I'm getting any stronger! I read about these women that continue to run into their third trimester but with my pubic symphysis pain even walking longer distances is out of the question. However, my thrice weekly preggo fitness classes and my prenatal yoga classes have been great. Physically, I still feel like I'm doing something and psychologically, it's great to be around other women with large bellies whom are going through the same things you are. Going to the community gym becomes exhausting after a million people ask you when you are due - I think they're afraid that I'm going to go into labour or something as I'm pedalling away on the stationary bike or something..........
