Week 31

The weeks seem to be moving by faster and faster now.  We have our appointments every 2 weeks now and have had OB classes the last few weeks, guess that makes time go when you are busy.  One of the classes Labor and Delivery was a bit over whelming for me.  I knew most of what the entire process entails but really labor can last 16-18+ hours?   Longer than my Ironman's?  WTF? I am hopeful for something a little shorter, but left that class thinking an epidural is the way to go for me.  I have been told by lots of people how they did it, with and with out an epidural and why I should do it their way.  Why subject myself to more pain than I need to, I am sure if I could do it the other way, but you get your teeth numbed before getting a filling, I am sure that people could handle the pain but why. 

I got to go swimming at a local lake this weekend, somehow I squeezed into my wetsuit and that was almost as much of a work out as the swim!  It felt good to swim again, and see some of the other local triathletes.  I miss talking and training with these guys. It is going to be hard for me this summer now that tri season is starting up.  I was pretty slow, and the belly is defiantly a huge drag in the water.  I think I would float the same with out my wetsuit on. When I stopped swimming and tried to float strait up and down to clear my goggles I had a hard time keeping my bottom half off the surface of the water. 
The water was a bit chilly but thanks to my wetsuit and my "maternal stores" the baby books way of saying fat, I was plenty warm. 

Going to be a long 2 months, I hate the heat normally and now it will be worse.  I told Sean I think I will be spending lots of time in our basement where it is nice and cool. 

And when I get back into the shape I was before, I will not make fat jokes about myself again!! I will have some work to do, but can't wait to get started. 

Baby room is done!!!  We got the last little things in it, and got some diapers and other little things.  Just needs a cute little baby now.  62 more days!
