Day 18 with Miss Goober

Sleeping with Mommy

She's a doll!  I love her so much!  I'm getting used to the little amount of sleep I get, and the crazy schedule of feeding, changing, bathing, holding and hugging little miss Goober.  She really loves to be on the move. If she gets fussy, then Travis and I walk her around the house or dance with her and she mellows out.

Just an hour old...look at those runner legs!

I'm recovering nicely.  Since I ended up needing a c-section, a lot of rest was in the cards.  I'm feeling pretty good with little to no pain, but I want to give my body time to really heal.  Yesterday I went for a very very slow walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes.  Of course it felt amazing!  I can't wait for the Doc to give me the go ahead to run again.    I've got Goober's jogging stroller all set!  Soon soon.

You know, I've missed the blogging world.  And since I'll be a stay-at-home-mom for an indefinite amount of time, hopefully I'll get back to my blog more.  Missed you all!

All Turkey'd out for Thanksgiving

She loves to make the Zoolander "Blue Steel" face

Hanging out with Daddy

I'm a Mommy!

Goober is here!! She arrived at 2:19pm today, on her due date. She is 6 lbs, 10 ounces & 19.5 inches long. Full head of brown hair! She hasn't cried at all yet, and is a sweet baby so far. :) Travis and I are in love with her! She's got some gangly arms/legs and looks to be a future runner. More pictures later!

The Magical Number 39

Today marks 39 weeks...
I'm still around.  Goober's still baking.  Although I think we are BOTH getting restless. ;)  Went for a 2 mile walk the other day and it was great to just be outside in the fall weather.  I'm just ready for Goober to be in a stroller and enjoying walks/runs with me from the outside.  The red and orange leaves are gorgeous!  Plus, I'm looking forward to bonding with my daughter...wow, that's really strange to say!

One of the many funny magnets I got from my little sister, Liza

This kind of sucks

I'm losing followers. :(

I can't run.

I can't focus.

I can't seem to write anything of value.

I hope this changes soon.

Guess when Goober will be here!

Be sure to make a guess in Goober's birthday pool!  Everyone is saying November...and even though her due date is November 9th, man, I want her to be here sooner. Gah!  Tomorrow marks 37 weeks and I'm so uncomfortable.  But, it'll be worth it.  Right?  Right.

Just going up and down my stairs is tough.  I should count it as a workout. ;)

I'm behind on blogging and reading blogs because I have Goober on the brain.  So much to think about and so little time left.

Sunsets and SIGG Bottles

This evening I went for a two mile walk with Trav around the neighborhood. The sunset was gorgeous and I just needed to get outside after an annoying day.  Physical exercise is definitely not getting any easier, so a walk was just what I needed.

Of course I had to take some photos along the way.

Hey, I forgot to mention that Cafepress contacted me a few weeks ago and offered a new SIGG water bottle. I got it really quickly and even though I messed up my design, I love it!  My other I <3 Running SIGG that I got from a friend months ago started leaking from the cap because I use it so much...so I'm glad I have a new one. Not only SIGG bottles, but a wide spectrum of custom hoodies, 2011 yearly calendars and personalized gifts can be found at CafePress for any interest, brand or topic!  Check 'em out!

I'm still working on my YGG 10K recap. So late!

Neil's *10-10* Virtual Race

Today I completed a virtual race in honor of Barefoot Neil's birthday!  

Distance: 1 mile

Time: 13:00

And guess what?  I actually jogged it on the treadmill!  Big 36 week belly and all. ;)

Hope everyone running Portland, Chicago and all other races are having a great day!  And happy 10/10/10 people!
