What I Miss: Running.  I want so badly to be able to do a hard, sweat my ass off workout.  I miss my leg definition and it’s hard not being able to do much.  But, its all worth it and I’m NOT complaining, it’s just something I miss.  I’ve been stretching for 20 minutes per day and doing another 30-40 min of light cardio so it’s better then nothing.  

What I’m Looking Forward To:  Father’s day this weekend.  I have big plans for making the day very special for hubs.  I’m also looking forward to my family and friends baby shower is the Sunday after next.  My mom and some of my best friends are throwing it and have kept everything a complete secret from me.  My mom wouldn’t even show me the invitation! They won’t even pin ideas they like in case I’d see them.

Best Moment This Week: Being on SUMMER BREAK!!!  I’m relaxing, working on lots of things for AG and nesting like crazy.  Today, I’m going to a paint your own pottery studio I used to work at to make AG a few things.  

Thoughts:  30 weeks.  It’s crazy to me.  I’m loving every bit of this pregnancy and am doing a good job about keeping positive thoughts.  I just want this so badly and love her so much.  Hubs was at a wedding in Chicago this weekend and had a hard time leaving us.  Even though he knew my parents were here keeping me company, he sent messages all day long.  Whether it was seeing something he wanted to buy AG, a funny story that he had to share or listening to one of our songs at the wedding, even though I wasn’t there with him, I felt like I was in his heart the whole entire time.  He is one in a million and I can’t wait to see him with his baby girl.  I can’t imagine loving him more then I do now, but I have a feeling there will be nothing that compares to seeing them together.
