This Girl is Silly, I tell YA!!!!

I take a Spin class on Monday nights (group workout on stationary bikes) that is just kicking my butt these days. Normally I instruct a class but my doctor recommended that I cut back the stress of teaching all of my fitness classes and actually taking a few. So, I am only teaching aerobics on thursday nights right now and I am really enjoying attending classes for a change. It takes the pressure of "having" to go off my shoulders (even though I rarely have the desire to go I still do--thank goodness for my Kara-girl who is always there to pick me up before class and remind me that I am going to feel great after!!!) I think one of the reasons I can even be an instructor is because I can teach a class at full effort without feeling winded. Don't get me wrong, I am physically as tired as all of my students but I can talk away without breathing heavy. Well, NOT ANY MORE!! I cannot breathe hardly at all right now. During class last night I was really struggling to catch my breath and my legs felt like lead. I talked to my doctor about this and she said that approx 45% of your body's oxygen is working in your abdomen to build your little baby especially in those first months. That number seems incredible!! No wonder there isn't enough left over for my lungs or legs!!! I know this may seem funny but I have to remind myself that workouts are going to be more difficult because I am pregnant. "Oh yeah, that make sense!" Did I foget to mention that there is only enough oxygen in my brain to sustain life at this point!! Talk about the pregnancy brain fog. I have it BIG TIME!!! Oh well, if anything I have let myself off the hook if I forget something!! My goal is to continue to take classes up to my due date. I don't know how much longer I will teach though.... I will keep doing the once a week probably through the summer anyway and then back off until after the little one is born.

OMG as everyone knows my girls are so silly and crack me up every day!!! When I walked in the door last night... this was Crosby... Heath had worked the 3-11am shift and had come home, made homemade chicken and noodles and was folding laundry (seriously I told him I want him to be a stay at home dad!!!). Our baby girl had gotten Mah's laudry basket as was eating some Cheerios (her fave snack right now---those little boxes of cereal) and watching tv on the big chair... IN THE LAUNDRY BASKET!!! I was DYING laughing and Adler sat there shaking her head mumbling "weird" Funny times at Casa Curtis!!!!
