Blood Pressure: 104/60
Weight Gain: 13 lbs. *I can only gain 12 lbs. in 15 weeks if I want to achieve my ideal weight gain of 25 lbs....pretty much an impossibility.
Exercise: mostly inside now that the weather is colder. Occasionally I can still get out and walk/jog if the weather warms up or if Matt is home (I don't want Caleb to get sick). Today was one of those days where I could exercise outside. I walked the first mile, then started a slow jog for however long until the cramping got too painful and I had to walk. 5 miles of jogging later, I quit not because of cramping, but because my legs were starting to feel like jelly. I haven't been able to run this much in at least 3 months, and it felt amazing! Definitely a tender mercy as I have missed the ability to be able to run. I didn't even feel pregnant as I ran and only remembered as I glanced down at my protruding belly.
Favorite Part About Pregnancy: Feeling the baby move. I especially love when Matt can get involved, i.e. see and feel the baby move.
Birth Plan: Natural if I can do it. (This is a whole other post in and of itself as I have always thought epidural is the way to go as seen in these previous posts. see #29 for the baby tag post)
Things to do in the next 15 weeks before the baby comes: Pick a name! & get Caleb's new room ready (we're going to buy a bunk bed for his room and bypass the toddler bed).
