Ok, Apparently according to my iPhone app my little tyke is the size of a navel orange. Well that explains the 10 lbs. I have definitely seen 10lb navel oranges before.
I had my first OB appt. this week. It went surprisingly well. I forgot that we have to pee in a cup before every appt now. So when you see a pregnant women walking around just think she might be walking around with pee in her purse... Yuck... The devastating part of the the visit was that we have to weigh ourselves before we go in the to the little offices. That means everyone in the waiting room is watching.. So much for stripping every obvious piece of clothing off to drop weight. I couldn't even take my shoes off. Talk about depressing the poor women before they even see the doctor! I also got reminded by my supportive doctor how quickly it all lets loose with the 3rd pregancy. At least the little tyke has roomy living conditions.
I did some running this week. I almost flaked out one night. I was sitting on the couch watching makeover week on the Biggest Loser totally expecting to not run when I was watching all these people doing the weight back on challenge where they put all the weight they gained back on in weighted vests, ankle weights, etc, and run up a mountain slowly shedding each weight. Well I felt like a lazy ass and got my gear on and ran. It sucked. I won't lie, but if these people can do this with an extra hundred pounds on, 10 lbs is a joke... I felt better afterwards and that is what counts.
I also taught strollercise this week. I was dying. I'm not sure why but doing exercises with hand weights makes me sweat ridiculously. It was crazy. I apparently look pregnant now because I was asked by a few participants. Well that darn navel orange. Do you think Lulu Lemon will start a maternity line? I am looking pretty ridiculous and next to wearing my husbands shorts don't know what I'm going to do in the next few months. Will Lulu Lemon do the same for pregnant tummies that they do for bums?
I am already at 3 workouts this week, yahoo, only one more to go and I hit my goal. Wish me luck as I am going to attempt a famous crazy Amanda Saturday workout tomorrow. I will keep you posted.

14 Weeks
I was feeling really large last weekend and couldn't remember what my weight gain was like with the other two kiddies... Then I recalled that I had kept a journal whil pregnant with my son. I rifled through my boxes and found the journal... I am larger... by almost 5 lbs. WTF!!
That's it!! All day sickness is not an excuse to be fat and lazy!! Not to mention the run with my sister reminded me of two has-beens refusing to admit they just don't have it any more. It was pathetic. We couldn't even chat because we couldn't breathe and we did 3 measly flights of stairs and couldn't walk for 3 days afterwards. Again... WTF!!
So 4 days per week of exercise is my schedule. If I do it early the fatigue won't make me lazy. And by early I mean before mid afternoon... not 6:00 am... yah right!
I did a cool HIIT workout last Saturday that included 165 burpees (that's burpees with the pushup in case you are wondering) and yes pregnant women can do burpees, it just looks ridiculous. I figure by the time I get really fat I won't have to do pushups with them because my belly will already be touching the floor.
Sunday night included a kickboxing workout. It's the first time in awhile I have had enough energy to participate being that it is a night class. It was good, a great way to get some low impact high intensity cardio in. I noticed though in the mirror that I am definitely developing a protective fat layer on my arms, why do I need a protective fat layer on my arms when the baby is in my pelvis...
Today I went for a run... a nice 6 km run... and I even did 10 and 1 walk breaks. No shame. It keeps my heart rate down and gives me the break I need. I can already feel those funny pelvic pains. Maybe I should get my belly band out for some added support? It was a nice 0 degrees Celsius. The cool fresh air helps with the nausea.
Either way, I am back in business and trying to control the weight gain as much as I can. Christmas is going to be a challenge but we'll see what I can do to not go cookie crazy!
