Day 3:that isn't sweat, my fat cells are crying!

Day 3:

Went to Kennywood today with the kiddos. Pushed around a 675 lb double stroller with two toddlers inside. (who collectively weight around 48 lbs). Up hill, down hill, around the park, strategically PAST the potato patch (the smells wafting up my nose) BUT, I walked right past, nose in the air and said a big "eff you, potato patch" on my way around, in my Skechers shape-ups!

3 hours of pushing, pulling, ,holding, sweating, dodging, and we were on our way home with two tuckered-out toddlers. Proud to say I ate only a grilled chicken wrap (only 1/2 of it), no dressing and a small amount of pasta salad, 423 gallons of water, and a ton of watermelon (love summer).

Got home, watched a movie with Gwyneth Paltrow and decided that this ass won't get any skinnier sitting on the couch watching that skinny bitch, Gwyneth. Sigh...that bitch motivated me to run again. I put on my sneaks, my tank, loaded the iPhone with my new C25K app (LOVE THIS) and ran half mile to the track, 1.5 miles on said track and half mile home from the track. Loving my little slice of heaven that is ONLY MINE and no one else's.

I must say, I wanted to die, die a slow painful, sweaty death. Running sucks, it really zaps my life force, but I know it is the only salvation I have and the only thing I have that is ONLY mine.

I will run that dreadful 5K in Sept. I will run every day, rain, shine, snow, sleet or hail.

Effing skinny bitch, Gwyneth.

What's New

barefoot and ....

Has it really been a year since I blogged? What a SLACKER I am!! We are approaching Addison's first birthday next Tuesday :( My baby is now a toddler and I have no idea where the last year went....

We are having a Korean celebration on Sat night and a traditional party on Sunday with all of Addy's bff's...

You all may know, we are expecting another girl in May (May 24 EDD). We are throwing around names but really love Sara Ashlyn. I have no idea how having two under two will affect my already chaotic life. Maybe I will be able to shower once a week. We are very psyched about another rugrat and can't wait to share her with the world like Simba in Lion King.

I have had a non eventful pregnancy thus far (thank the Lord). We decided to use a midwife this time due to the "medicalization" of the first pregnancy. You may or may not know of the gestational diabetes I had with Addison and the impact on my pregnancy. I was in and out of the OB, hospital, diabetes center, Glucose testing, fetal monitoring...etc... and it took a lot out of me. I wanted to enjoy this pregnancy for what it is, and not feel like a medical condition...

Patrick Thornton is my midwife and he rocks!!! He is so laid back and lets me be the boss of my own body. I just love him and am actually looking forward to trying a natural childbirth this time (if you heard about my epidural experience, you know why). We just wrote out our birth plan and, even though I know NOTHING will go as planned, I am confident in my abilities to handle this birth on my own.

well, my 5 minutes are up, time to chase Addison through the house and wash some diapers (cloth diapering is fun)!!!!

Cheers to all

3 days to go

Three more days until "the big day".  My momma is flying in tomorrow from beautiful Fort Lauderdale.  I don't think she is looking forward to the change in weather, but she is so stoked about the baby.  I have been feeling some contractions, some stronger than others, but no real pattern.  I thought that last night was it, but after 2 hours, it just stopped....  that was frustrating.   The baby is sitting really low, making it difficult to walk.  As you can see, I am ready to not be pregnant anymore.  I guess a lot of woman just LOVE being preggo, but I am not one of them  :)  Actually, it wasn't the worst thing in the world.  We are just really looking forward to meeting the miracle created inside me.  I just wish all of  my family was here to meet her.  It's really hard being so far away from everyone.  We have a lot of love and support from everyone and we appreciate it.  So, off to clean up and get ready for momma to come.  I also plan to rest the next couple days since I know it will be my last opportunity...

Will write again soon once the monkey comes out...

love to all
