In our birthing classes, they gave us ideas of things to do to stay busy during EARLY LABOR (which I don’t think I’ve started yet) ... but it’s gotta be close!!!! .... On the list for babies expected this time of year were tasks like... Decorate the Christmas Tree Make Christmas Cookies ... Clean (who the heck puts that on there?) Go on really long walks Detail the car (that person also needs to be fired!) Start a fun house project Watch all the Christmas Movies Scrapbook .... so we’ve done them all... TODAY! ... I need a new list! What did you do in EARLY LABOR to stay distracted and kill time?! ... you and freakin SAINT if you tell me you cleaned or detailed the car!

Mental Stages of Today’s Cycling Class... Beginning = I can’t believe I offered to teach this class today! Middle = This is how Lil’ and I die! ... End = We are freakin champions! . . . I remember my first ever spin class and thinking pretty much the same thing (just without a baby) ... and then, after that class, spin became therapy for me! I found spin at a time in life where I had no self worth, I had been through a brutal break up, and I had been laid off from my job. It became an outlet and a release and something where I could drown out my thoughts and just lose myself (in a good way) in the music and the darkness. Have you ever experienced something similar with exercise? Has it ever saved you at a point in your life when things were pretty bleak?! Pretty amazing the power endorphins have over us! Don’t know where I’d be without them. .. Thank you @fitforlifewithlisa for spinning front row in case I went into labor you could take over! Thank you @schoemee for cheering me on all class when it should be the other way around And thank you @kristennicole17 for being our on site EMT paramedic in case of emergency delivery! while kicking butt in class at the same time!

So many amazing women have told me that the moment you see your husband hold your child for the first time, you fall in love with him all over again! I feel like this whole 9 month journey has been just like that! When I saw his reaction that we were preggo Fell deeper in love ... When Paul went to every baby class and swaddled the fake plastic babies Fell deeper in love When he left work for EVERY SINGLE baby appointment I’ve had in 9 months Fell deeper in love And last night when he shared at the family Thanksgiving Dinner table that this has been the easiest 9 months ever with a pregnant wife Fell deeper in love. .... (Not that he has anything to compare it to, but this normal mama will take the compliment!) This man was MEANT to be a Dad! He’s always known he’s wanted a kiddo and I feel like the luckiest woman alive that I get to give him that insane HONOR in life of being a Dad! So yep I could totally see it. When he holds our child I’m going to be a blubbering mess! #38weekspregnant
