Long time...no blog.

Well work finally has decided that blogs are a security risk and are now on the list of off limit web sites. That means I need to update at home, which is not actually a problem except by the time I get home I can not be bothered!! So lets see what have I been up too??

Thursday I walked to work again and I think I the perfect route marked out. I even found myself day dreaming about potential spots I can run post baby... " this hill would be good..." Sad huh! I am still getting to the gym in the evenings and working out the non pregnant bits and my core. People are starting to give me those looks...they think I am pregnant but are not sure- they will work it out soon enough!!

Saturday we went to Lane Cove for the striders 10km and while Ray ran I had time keeper duties. I am not sure what happened but after about 10 mins of hitting the button I felt really nauseated and thought I might need to dash to the loo. I felt very green and had to sit on my haunches to try and get it finished! Thankfully I held it together...weird! We then drove up to Newcastle to see the family! My favourite cousin is off to Europe so we wanted to see her befor she goes. I was POOPED by the time we got home!

Sunday morning we met the usual suspects at Grays point for their long run. They were doing about 33km and Ray was only doing 20km becuase of city to surf. So we picked up Helen and headed to the shop at Audley wier. I headed off for a walk along Lady Maquarie drive and Ray and Helen waited for the others to pass through. My aim was for them to not catch me too quickly! I managed to get 7km into LMD and turn around to head back before they caught me. It was such a beautiful morning.....sunny and cold. There were heaps of runners out and I was chuffed when a mum ran by with bub in the pram :-) there were heaps of birds along the track and it was a very relaxing way to start the day. Bernie then opted to keep me company and walked back....I was very thankful for the company and as usual we had no problems polluting the air with out chatter!!! I walked 14km in 2hrs18mins. We had a yummy breakfast and a brush with fame, as Bernie pointed out our waitress was in fact the Australian Princess! I know I felt special ;-) I then went home and had a 2hrs nap before spending a relaxing afternoon doing NOTHING!!

Sunday marks 22 weeks....five and half months! The bub is moving heaps now and Ray can feel some movement too. I have been getting reflux each time I eat the past few days....so Renie are my new friends! I am loving being pregnant at the moment!

Tonight I had my violin lesson and it was my final chance to record my level one graduation peice. Now I have been practicing my butt off for this and I play it perfectly at home.....but put me in the room with microphone and my teacher recording me and I freak out and the nerves get the better of me every time! I am so excited that tonight I managed to get it finally recored!!! So if I never have to hear that Gavotte one more time it will be too soon :-) I joke to Ray that the baby will have heard it so often it will be the peice of music that it will settle too.....D'oh!!!!
I am so excited to finish it and that means I can start on level 2 :-)

woo hoo 5 1/2 months that has gone by so quickly.

As for reflux - well join the queue. I suffer pretty badly from it and have taken to sleeping with 2 or 3 pillows so that I don't get a burning throat when I lay down to sleep. It helps somewhat.

My Ob said Rennie was a waste of time. I took it for a couple of weeks and it seemed to help but I had to keep taking them. He suggested a drink - can't recall the name but one like mylanta that you can get at a chemist and is pregnancy safe. I just haven't made my way to the chemist yet to get it :)
