Check In- 25

25 weeks

Things I love about being pregnant:

- Spending time with the dogs on the trails just walking around

- Finishing a swim set that I didn't want to do and feeling a huge sense of accomplishment just for being there

- Sleeping in with Dave.  No more early mornings for me!  (at least till the rest of my life takes over in 3 months)

- Being the designated driver AND getting to call the shots on when to go home

- Dreaming.  DREAMING!  I have a huge list of goals and dreams that I am working on.  I can't wait to re-enter triathlon, and I will be so grateful if I am given some more opportunities.

 - Realizing there is a baby in my belly.  Seriously.  A baby!!!!

- Prenatal yoga classes.  THE BEST!!!!!  This is my new happy place. 

- Shopping for baby "things" and having fun, and then being even happier realizing I don't need any of it for us to raise her 

- Perspective.  (sometimes). 

- Family. Happy Birthday to my cousin Nick.  (above)
- Good friends that take care of me.  Thank you, Gina, for sharing with me today!

- Being invited to a wedding thrown by a family that owns the best chocolate in Memphis.  (Dinstuhls!).  What more could a pregnant woman want?  Congratulations Rissa!

 -Friends, friends, and more friends.  Checking on me.  Reassuring me that everything will be great.  Loving me whether or not I am training and racing.  Just living and enjoying the great people around me.
