32 and Rolling On

I am trying not to count the weeks, but people, I am counting!!!  I kind of cringe when I think this has turned into a pregnancy blog, but dang if I don't have anything else to report!  No S,B,R of interest to report.  Give me a few more months, and hopefully I can share some more entertaining training tales. 

My work week ended on a pretty awesome note, when my patient gave me the above "fruit bag" as a thank you on our last day of physical therapy.  His words in the card stated, "Mrs Roberts you are a real professional I enjoyed working with you."  As he had "fired" some other people working with him, I was never sure how we would pan out, and some days were really hard on me as I tried to be the best PT I could be.  But, it just goes to show that professionalism, hard work, and good listening skills really go a long way with our jobs. 

So, what is going on at 32 weeks?  Nada.  After my crazy weekend (in heels) in New Orleans, I now have some sort of sacroiliac dysfunction, and I have been in a ton of pain in my left posterior/pelvis area.  My ligaments must be starting to loosen up a bit, and things are moving around on me.  It has hurt so much I have not even been able to go walking this week.  I kept thinking I would be immune from so many little pregnancy issues because "I am an athlete."  But nope, I am obviously just a regular person.  It looks like I will be going to my own physical therapist this week, because no way am I going to be able to go 8 weeks with hardly being able to walk. 

(and just a little moment to whine, please....all I want to do is run and bike, and now I can't even walk!  Aghhhh!!!!!  It will be here soon enough. :)

And to cap off a good week, my local team Los Locos threw a party with a little baby shower on the side :)  It was so funny to see the guys walk up with their presents, and to think of them wandering around Target trying to pick out baby gifts and wrapping paper.

April (above) has been my super pregnancy mentor.  I am not a girl that likes showers or registries or shopping.  I have had NO idea what sort of things I need for a kid, and she has taken me shopping, helped me register, and forced me to participate in a baby shower (which was actually really fun.)  So, a huge thanks to her, and to many friends like her, that have made this fun for me. 

A huge thank you to my teammates for helping me feel included and loved during this time of not being able to train or participate in my sport.
