Rookie Runner by Wendy_Rogers

Hi,

Nothing exciting to report, I'm afraid.

I've been reading your blogs with envy. I miss running so much. I wanted to watch the Liverpool Half Marathon yesterday, but I have been suffering from a bad chest infection since last Wednesday.

I had a bit of a do last Wednesday night. The babba is making me breathless at the moment, as he's squashing my insides to make way for his, apparently, long legs (he's gonna be a runner!!) At one point, I felt I couldn't breathe properly and it frightened me. I went into a bit of a panic and hubby ended up calling NHS Direct, who helped calm me down. I was also getting upset, as I was coughing so hard I was being sick in the middle of it ... ewww!!! I was worried the baby would be getting flung everywhere and was being hurt by my actions. However, he seems to be made of stern stuff and continued to merrily wriggle away again, once I had calmed down

It's not long now, only 8 weeks until I meet my lovely little chap. I can't wait to make him as daft as me and show him great things and have amazing experiences with him. I've already got him earmarked for this year's Santa Dash - although, it will have to be more of a buggy walk than a dash!! I just hope he wont be too spooked by 8000 Santas surrounding him!!

I miss running and can't wait to start again and shed my flabby bits. I've put on about 2.5 stone since being pregnant and have a couple of cuddly chins now, but I know I can lose it  - I'm hoping about a third of it will be baby related and will be lost at the birth!!! There will be lots of long walks to take babba on and the weather should be better by then - too. Although I don't think I will be getting the hotpants out just yet!!! (I don't really own hotpants ... that would be very scarey ... for me and the general public!!)

Have a good week

Wendy
