3 Years Ago Today

Almost Half Way!
Sorry it's been a while since I have updated. (I hate that I am starting each post with this phrase - it will get better I promise)
I am feeling MUCH better. The 'all day' sickness has subsided. My appetite is back and the baby is very active. I just started to feel the little babe this past week.
I am back to working out. While I am not able to make the evening WOD's during the week which bums me out, I have been walking every afternoon at lunch and I do a CF Mom WOD Saturday mornings. I have to tell you that it is really hard to go from racing the clock and your peers to taking it slow, resting between rounds, not going as heavy as you once could. That has been a real challenge for me so it's probably best that I am only WODing once a week. OH and I'm exempt from burpees for now! That is the one plus!
I have been doing a lot of research on line for baby products, breast feeding products, and the likes. Making lists and debating with Ryan over colors and patterns. We went through the list last night and got stuck trying to pick out a stroller. Ryan says to me "can't we go to the store and play with the stuff? I'm more of a hands on shopper". This surprised me since he's not into the shopping and registry stuff. So I am happy to fulfill that request.
We have our ultra sound this Friday. We are both looking forward to seeing the baby and we both are still in agreement that we will not be finding out the gender. I got my 1st high five for that decision this weekend. Whenever I am asked if/when we will find out, and I say no I get this look of disbelief. It's funny to see peoples reactions, it's mostly the same, and I have gotten into the habit of already explaining that we want to be surprised and will plan the best we can with gender neutral 'gear'. So when I was given a high five it took me by surprise and made me smile!
For those that are wanting belly pic's - sit tight. I will post a pic at 20 weeks. I feel very large (belly large) for just starting my 19th week. But I have been reassured that nothing else (other than my boobs) has gotten bigger - AND I am almost half way done! I can't believe it! So Mom, if you are reading this I am thinking it's a boy based on your theory - I'm caring it all up front, I'm all belly.
I will be very much relived after our appointment on Friday. I just want to know that all is OK with the baby so far. That he/she looks to be healthy and everything is in order. Every day I feel more and more movement. Especially this past Saturday. Ryan took me to see Cirque du Soleil for our anniversary and as soon as the lights went down and the loud music started the baby went nuts. Either we have a dancer/gymnast on our hands or another drummer. We will be happy with either. We love the performing arts and would be thrilled if this baby followed in his or her older siblings steps.
I think that is all for now. As more starts to happen I will be sure to post more often. I feel like things are just starting to happen - I had 8 weeks of being sick and that would have been pretty boring to hear about week after week, so I didn't post during that time.
I miss all my friends and family back home. I think about all of you daily. Hope all is well with everyone.
Here is a pick of me during this past Saturday's workout. I did "Baby Nancy". Can't really see the belly in this pick but it's there.
