Well, as of today I'm 21 weeks and 4 days along. I went for a run tonight, and I've been trying to stick to about 3 miles, which used to be so easy, but it's finally starting to get tough. I'm experiencing the worst calf and shin pain, probably due to the extra weight I'm carrying (which is still the same as last week - I'm the same weight as last week, and I look the same, so no new pics yet.) I told Travis that I finally feel like I can relate to the people on The Biggest Loser when they complain about how much their legs hurt while running (ok, I know I'm not at that point yet, but I'm sure it's close.) I've even had to resort to taking walking breaks in the middle of my run...which I'm trying to get used to. I still want to run for several more weeks, if not a few more months, but I guess I'll have to see. I may have to do some light calf/shin strengthening exercises to see if that works.
I went to a wedding this weekend also, and noticed that I had to take a few breaks from dancing because my calves and shins were really hurting more than usual (of course I was still wearing 4 inch heals...that may have something to do with it.) I did continue dancing with no shoes for about the last hour, and luckily I've been able to convince Travis to give me a nice foot massage or two in the last few days. The wedding we went to was really fun because it was some friends who went to Allegheny with us, and they got married at Allegheny! It was nice to let everyone know that we're having a girl, and we even got a few small presents.
One more exciting thing is that Travis and I have started looking at baby things, and will probably register at a few places in the next week or so! It's exciting to be at that point, and to really start thinking about how cute the baby room will be.
