Lampson Cable Bridge Run

I registered to run the Lampson Cable Bridge run this year. I've never done it before, honestly I have a hard time paying to run when I can do it for free. I've been running with a couple friends and so they got me in to actually doing a couple races the past couple months. Kellie couldn't run the cable bridge run because her son was getting baptized at the same time. So it was just going to be Sarah and I, however, she came down with a fever and yucky-ness a couple days before the race. Same thing happened on our last race so I ran this one alone again. It wasn't too cold on Saturday December 20th but it was a rainy morning. Anyone who knows me knows that it takes me a long time to warm up once I'm cold so I wasn't actually looking forward to running out in the cold, gray, rainy morning. Once I got in my spot for the race, I got excited for it! Running over the bridge was so cool. The rain pretty much stopped after I got off the bridge! I just listened to my music and ran and enjoyed the scenery. I haven't been improving a whole lot but my runs all seem pretty consistent which is good. I can keep the same pace for pretty much the entire race. I do it just for the exercise and the experience really. 

my time and rank. I couldn't believe how many people were there. This shows just the 1205 runners for the 5k! That doesn't count the 10k and 1 mile participants. It was pretty crowded and slow moving across the bridge. Once I could get out of the crowds the run was better. 
When I got home Jaime had made me a nice hot breakfast and hot chocolate. Love him! I was grateful for his support and confidence, especially since I wasn't too keen on doing this all by myself.

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
