Weekend Wrap Up

Thank you so much for all of the kind words and emails about Shelby Angel. For those of you who have been blogging with me since 2008 (or before!), you have been a source of great support and kindness. It is what keeps blogging fun. Thank you for the friendship.

29 weeks- Life is good in the 3rd trimester.  I am still working pretty hard with as many hours as I can handle so I can save up some good time off post pregnancy.  I am handling it pretty well, until I don't and then I just CRASH!  I found myself asleep during lunch one day and barely woke up in time to get back to work.  Yikes!!!

I did get the yucky news that I have increased anemia.  Dern dern!  That explains some of the fatigue and why all of my co-workers have been concerned about how pale I have looked lately.  But, we are on track with some B-12 and iron supplements and I will get back on top of it :)  Growing babies is hard work!

I am feeling good peace as the days tick by.  Of course they could speed up a little bit :)  It is good to "just be."  Just for a little health, I have been walking the dogs and swimming occasionally.  Every now and then I will sprinkle in the occasional elliptical with some small weights.  I finally broke down and ordered a maternity belt.  If it helps support everything that hurts down there, I will be kicking myself for not getting it sooner. 

Weekend triathlon wrap up....  great job to all of the racers at the Los Locos Duathlon.  I enjoyed volunteering and cheering you guys on.

I've got a "box" coming from Wattie Ink....and I can't wait to get my new kit in!  (at least to look at for a few months, since I definitely won't be able to wear it!)

And, got some extra time?  Listen to this podcast with Will Kelsay.  It reminded me to continue to find the races that excite me as well as finding that place in racing where I just might have to go to the med tent at the end.  A good listen...
