Run Forrest,

Don and I are heading towards our 17th week of pregnancy...I say Don and I because he seems to be getting rounder with me. He claims, and I quote - "It's Sympathy Weight".... ;) All is well though in the world of expanding waist bands and I am feeling much better ever since switching my prenatal vitamin to 2 Flintstone vitamins instead. Funny because they did not bother me at all until I hit my 2nd trimester and then I started getting really sick.

This Tuesday I have a OB appointment to check the babies heart, get weighed etc...but THEN the following appointment will be the biggie! The much anticipated 20th week ultrasound! Unless I am missing something and my Dr. is going to do it on Tuesday (which would be exciting!) I am confident that we will be finding out the gender on the 20th week. We are extremely excited for the news, and even though Don is assured it is a baby boy, we will be satisfied just as well with a girl. Names however are still an issue we are running into...I supposed we still have a few months to settle on that mystery.

Don and I ran a 5k yesterday morning in Morristown, TN. It was very enjoyable- beautiful weather- and even though I know my husband can run a fast few miles he kept his pace back with his slow wife. *True Love*. We ran in 27 mins. Not bad, not bad. I will take that for 4+months pregnant. Don actually got 3rd place in his division. I on the other hand had some of the top 10 fastest in the whole race running in the female 20-24yrs division. I was hoping they would call out during the awards ceremony a secret mystery pregnancy division.....maybe....just maybe! ...In the end we left with just Don's award...
