Sunday was Mother's Day! Although Zelda is not born yet, I consider this years Mother's Day to be my first Mother's Day. Every decision I make already affects her, and I've worked hard getting things ready for her, so I think that qualifies me as a mother : ) I actually did get a few mother's day wishes in person and via text message, so that totally made my day!
My belly has definitely grown A LOT since last Monday when we had our maternity photo shoot. The photographer, who is actually a friend of ours, wants to retake a few of the pics so I think we will be doing that this Thursday, and my belly will be nice and big for it!
My workouts last week went great! I activated a 7 Day pass with Lifetime Fitness, so I've been lifting weights a lot more, my biceps were sore for like 4 days last week from assisted pull ups and dumbbell curls. I ran/walked on the treadmill one day and that felt great because the speed of the treadmill stays constant so it helped to push me to run more. I went swimming one day, however I was a little self conscious because I'm still just wearing my old bikini....I'm too cheap to buy a maternity swim suit. Saturday, Michael and I went to partner yoga, which was a lot of fun, we hadn't been in several months. On Sunday (Mother's Day) I actually got up before church and went for a nice 3 mile run through the neighborhood, it was nice and cool out so it felt great! But I've crashed again, yesterday and today I've just been tired. I attempted running on the treadmill again today but I was just so tired and mentally not into it, I mostly walked. But that's okay, every day is different.
The nursery is almost completely decorated, she'll be in a bassinet in our room for the first few weeks so I'm not too concerned if the nursery isn't finished quite yet, it would just be nice if it was finished. We got our tree decal on the wall, and finally bought a crib mattress so today I put the crib skirt on it and put the sheet on the mattress and put the mobile on the crib! Yesterday we also bought our BOB jogging stroller! Michael was super excited, we brought it home and he had it out of the box and set up in no time!
So the main things on my to do list now are just to keep organizing the baby stuff (I'm sure I'll just reorganize it after she's born) and make some healthy meals to freeze before Zelda is born.
