CO visit

I have just returned from visiting my wonder family in CO. Once again while I was gone all my clothes shrank! What is it about vacation that makes Gummi grow bigger? I've been really good about exercising in some way every day. I've been eating really healthy, except the yummy desserts my mom makes when I'm there. She has lost something like 30 lbs since the last time I saw her. She's weighs less then me!! Last time I stepped on the scale I was 130.5. I actually lost a couple pounds while I was down there. I think it has to do with my prenatal pilates DVD that I've been doing. I've been working the buns and thighs workout everyday so my butt has gotten smaller and tighter. I love that DVD! I think I've mentioned that before. It is perfect for me right now. When I do cardio it takes me like 20 minutes to warm up and be comfortable enough to actually get my heart rate up. So half my cardio work out is warming up! I haven't attempted to run in awhile. I have to get back to the actual gym and try that out. I feel bad paying for a memership then going home and doing the DVD because I love it so much. It is low impact, low stress for Gum and works all the muscles for labor. I love to walk too, but I can't make dinner and work out at the same time if I'm at the gym like I can at home. I have to make time for the cardio though. I have to maintain my heart health and endurance for labor.

I miss my lovely family so much! I was only with them for 4.5 days which is hardly long enough. I wish they didn't live so far away! I'm trying to get my mom to come visit at the end of the month and I will see them all again in July then a bunch in Sept and Aug. I think Wad is wanting to come in Aug sometime too. I feel like an addict! I got home and all I wanted to do was surround myself with my friends. I crave talking to Mank. After leaving my family is makes me miss her all the more. At least before I could come home and she'd be here. Thank God I have Man-Meat. I can't imagine going through pregnancy with out him. How do these women do it? I hope I never have to. I hope he's with me forever. After seeing the fam I always have anxiety that something is going to happen to them before I can see them again. I know it is completely irrational to worry about things that haven't and probably won't happen but still! They are all so important to me. Wow, I'm depressing myself right now ha ha!

I had some more tummy pics taken that I'll put up when I get them. I have a dr appt next Thurs to get an ultrasound then a consultation and regular appt with my doctor on Friday. I also have a dentist appt on Monday. I don't know how I managed to schedule all these appointments at the same time! I think I'll probably get in trouble for not gaining enough weight.

Also! Crazy stupid thing I did when I was in CO. I was walking in the pasture with the horse and cow and Twinkie was on the other side of the fence with her doggie. She yelled "Look out!" and I turned around to see the crazy cow running pel-mel at me swinging her head because she wanted to play. Not wanted to be smooshed by the cow I ran towards the fence and dove underneath of it executing a tuck-and-roll maneuver and coming back on my feet. It was fine, I didn't hit the grown hardly at all, it was very fluid and smooth, but when I stood up I thought, that was an idiotic thing to do! I'm pregnant for God's sakes! What the hell is wrong with me!? I can't be jumping and throwing myself around! Stupid. So I was scared for a little while that I had done something to Gummi, but he obviously didn't notice or care that I had done that. He was prefectly content and protected floating around in there. It was actually quite gracefully and non-jarring of a roll and probably looked pretty cool, but I need to remember that I'm pregnant. If I hadn't been I would have turned around and played with her. She's huge though!!
