8 weeks out of 40, not that I’m counting or anything…
Actually, I saw my ob’s office on Friday, and according to them, I’m 9 weeks, 1 day. But, since I’ve charted my cycles, I know better — I ovulated late. Whatever — they say I’m due 11Mar08. I say I’m due 19Mar08. Suffice it to say, sometime in March, I’ll have a baby.
This was a much better week, workout-wise than I’d expected it had been. Funny what happens when I actually take a look at the calendar! I’m slowly working back up to a total workout with T-Tapp. Until then, I’m thrilled when I can get Basic+ done, as I did twice this week. Step it to the Max fit in for an extra day of cardio. Considering that I woke up on Friday with the worst stitch in my neck I’ve had…oh, ever…it’s all good.

I’m up 1/2″ to 1″ all across the torso including (unfortunately) across the hips. BUT…my upper thighs stayed level, my lower thighs pulled in a bit, and my arms are toning back up. That’s encouraging.
Just to demonstrate the wacky nature of pregnancy, I’m putting my current pics next to my mid-challenge photos. Sure, some of this might be vacation spread…but seriously, people? Not all of it is. The instant inch gain has been simply amazing, enough so that I can just sit back and laugh. Oh, and hope that my hips don’t grow much more; I’d like to be able to still wear the same size maternity clothing at the end! Delusional? Guess we’ll see.
