baby love

...at least I think.

On the phone with my sister, she asked how I was doing, and I told her I was 'good'. But what I really meant to say is that my lower back is starting to ache, especially when I lay down on my back and side, and or any other creative way at night (my china bed is really rather hard), and it aches when I walk a lot, or walk around without shoes, and I feel like I'm going to POP! And I'm only 23 weeks along, and my feet are swollen, and my hands too, and I have total acid reflux in the night and even in the middle of the day...
But I'm not complaining or anything...
Whoever said the second trimester was the easiest?...

It's all worth it though when I can lay down and I feel my baby boy move and kick.

Happy Birthday Jenny!

This Happy Birthday! shout goes to my great friend Jenny!
Running friends are the friends that seriously last the longest!
Here's to all those marathon training days,
and those good ol' college running days.
When you run with someone for HOURS and HOURS, and HOURS in the freezing cold, the wind and the rain, the mud, the gruesome summer heat on all sorts of terrain, and sweat, and train, and work the hardest you've ever physically worked before, and hope, and dream and cry, and laugh, and smile together, somehow through it all you start as running pals and end up as sisters!

I hope your birthday was the best!!!
