8 weeks to go!

I am back in Fairfax after a wonderful Christmas. As you can see I weigh quite a bit more than I did 2 weeks ago! This baby is growing at a rate of knots. I can't believe she will be here in less than two months!
Today at Trader Joe's I was wearing a winter jacket over track pants and one of the workers asked me when my baby was due, so I must really be showing if she could tell underneath all those clothes!

My goal for the next 8 weeks is to eat less sugar. Seriously. Christmas is a BAD time to be in the third trimester when it comes to my appetite and all the chocolate and cookies everywhere.

I haven't really run much since the 10K about three weeks ago. I don't really have an excuse other than laziness, well that and I seem to get contractions every time I run. Not that they are dangerous (they are just Braxton Hicks) but I'm doing some other forms of exercise just to be on the safe side. I've been swimming and also the elliptical. I'll try the treadmill (I've been away from the gym for two weeks) this week and see how it goes. I miss being able to run til I'm huffing and puffing, all out of breath! (Not the best thing to do in pregnancy... and no I haven't tried it.)
