" Hay Hay"

As promised Haley Ellen.....an update! I had a fantastic weekend....watching Ray run his first marathon! He has only been running just over 12 months and he has taken to it like a duck to water. Yesterday he ran his first mararthon at Fitzroy Falls. It was on off road marathon, so not the easiest choice for your first, but a great one! I think I was more nervous than he was!! Once the gun went off I just felt in a constant state of butterflies hoping all would go well! I did the 5km walk along a part of the trail and got some pram practice in...pushing Jasper who is 6 months old in the pram. It was pretty tough going, especially up the hills but such a beautiful day and scenary. I could not help getting competitive and starting picking poeple up in front to reel in and pass. I was pretty happy that we did not come last and did the 5km in just over 5omins. Then we settled in at the 41.5km mark to wait for Ray, Deanne and Bernie to finish. I will let Ray blog about his race but he finished in fine style.....zooming past us not looking like he had struggled with the cramp bear not less than 10 mins earlier! I was so proud of him and his effort! If he can achieve this in 12 months I can't wait to watch and cheer the next 12 months.

I was so envious of the runners in the marathon yesterday!!! I have such an urge to run....I can not wait to just get our there again! Today we are 32 weeks, so not too long to go now! I am really excited and have started to buy little bits and peices for the baby. I feel like my belly might explode any moment....yes I know that it will only get bigger form here! Buba is super active and wriggles constantly. Lst week my stomach morphed into this weird pointy shape as it was stretching some part of its little body.....Ray could not believe his eyes!!! I am starting to dya dream about what buba will look like and wether it is a boy or a girl! It is like the ultimate present!! Apart from some calf cramps at night and feeling constantly full I feel really great!! I am walking to and from work still, but it is taking a little longer this past week. I only have 4 weeks of work to go and I hope to be able to walk until I finish. I am sooooooo looking forward to not working and having a few weeks of quiet and relaxation before the big arrival.

We have our birth classes in a few weeks....scary! That should make it all very real!! Any natural remedies for constipation will also be welcomed....sorry I know that is a little too much information!!!!

So 8 weeks to go! Bring it on :-)
