6 months pregnant!
Is it crazy that I'm previewing a blissful birth mediation mp3 while typing this? Do I have some kind of multi-taking ADD? 
So I am up 23 lbs. at 25 weeks. I can't believe I'm six months pregnant! I have made it back to the gym for maintainence weight lifting two days per week. I am still able to walk 1.5-2 miles 4 days per week. I feel good and more importantly, when I look in the mirror, I like what I see. I know that my arms, legs, and chest are still very toned, and even my pregnant belly looks like it's supposed to be there. It's very interesting how a body gains weight when pregnant. It's kinda cool and helps me not freak out at the upwards scale.
I am still getting in my calcium requirement, not just through vitamins, but through lots of skim milk, yogurt, and broccoli. I never realized how grateful I would be to my body for taking care of me now that I am pregnant. This morning at 5am my baby boy was kicking me gently. Do you think he already knows his crazy Mom walks at 5am when it's cool? I love it! I can't wait to bring the baby walking in the stroller. I want to savor every moment, every day and not place any worry to the future or bring bitterness from my past.
My main goal for this week is to walk 4x and weight lift for 2 days. I plan to eat as healthy as possible, but never allowing myself to get so hungry that I get nausated (which seems to be my only vice - knock on wood).
I hope everyone is doing well!
