Week #13!

Today marks week 13 in pregnancy #3! Yay! Thank goodness that the 2nd trimester is here! Chasing after two kids (ages 4 & 2), dealing with a flooded house while living in a hotel for 8 weeks (the saga deserves a blog of its own!), and trying to keep our life and Stroller Strides in order has been a great distracter from the nausea and fatigue during the first part of pregnancy.

During it all, teaching Stroller Strides' classes has been the BEST thing - surprisingly enough! In the mornings when I felt like I just didn't have it in me to get up and off the hotel's hide-a-bed (don't ask!) I powered through the nauseousness to teach classes. Amazingly, once I started moving and teaching I felt awesome. Getting active and exercising has been THE best remedy for morning sickness & fatigue. It's true - expending energy begets energy! The more you give, the more you get.

I also have to take the time here to send a GREAT big 'Thank You!' to all the Stroller Strides mamas and LUNA Moms Club moms who have been so gracious and generous to me & my family during this time. From bringing meals (a whopping 17!), pulling together for a Target gift card, watching my kiddos, and the all around genuine concern - you ladies are truly stupendous! I couldn't have asked for a better group of mamas! Thank you!

Go Stroller Strides!
