Honestly, I'm not running as much as I would like to these days. However, with Spencer's schedule, that is to be expected. I could take advantage of our YMCA membership and go during the day (the kids actually love the child watch there, anyway), but between it being sick season and not wanting to feel like the whole day is taken with me trying to run, I feel like it's better not to.
Twice in September I actually got up before 5a to go to the YMCA and was able to get back just as Spencer needed to leave for the hospital. The first day I did that went great! I did not feel tired at all (that was a Friday). The following Wednesday I went again and felt like I could barely function the rest of the day. Unless I'm going to bed at 8p, I think that option has closed itself.
October has been a little bit nicer. Spencer only had to work the first weekend and in addition, one of his chosen weeks off was last week! That was so nice in so many ways. I was able to go running three or four times. I only go 2 miles each time and I am getting slower each time, but I don't mind. The weather has been wonderful for running and I love being able to get outside. I'm looking forward to Saturday.
Unfortunately, November's schedule will be back to hopefully one day off per week for Spencer, so unless I want to get up before 5 again, it looks like things will slow down even more.
I think I was 18-19 weeks in both of these pictures. Definitely getting up there!
And, no, we're not going to find out the gender before-hand.

If you're still able to run farther along in your pregnancy, you might want to invest in one of those maternity belts. I know they look goofy, but I used them with my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies and was able to walk/jog up until about 36 weeks.
fun updates. You look great and your kids are cute and Spencer is working so hard (well, you both are). You guys are amazing!
