It's Wednesday....still no baby. 39 weeks....and no baby!!! Geez, I didn't think it would take this long. This baby was ready to come out at 31 weeks...then his dad told him he can't come out because he's grounded. I guess he got scared. Either that or he just wants to stay inside because of this cold wintery weather...snowing every other day (I don't blame him)!!!

Everyone's telling me to walk...so I walked from about 10 am to 5 pm, stopping every now and then. I went to the mall, the grocery, Target, Toys R Us, and another grocery. I told my hubby....now I know how "fat" people feel when they complain about walking a lot--when in reality they've walked for an hour! (No offense). He just laughed at me. Gaining 40 lbs is no joke!!! I remember how I used to shop til I dropped and that meant walking for like 2 days..didn't even matter if I had lunch. Now, I have to take breaks every 30 minutes or so. My feet are killing me. On our way back to the car today...I thought I was going to collapse..my knees were getting weak and my calves were getting tighter.

Reminded me of how I felt after we rode our bikes for 30-35 miles. Might not be a big deal for some, but for me I was not in shape whatsoever...I wanted to turn back after 2-3 miles. I hadn't exercised for almost a year and I just bought the bike the day before, hoping to get back in shape on my own pace. I wanted to cry..I was willing to stop wherever I was and wait for my brothers and my husband to pick me up with a car--even if it took 2-3 hours! They pushed me and I pushed myself. We actually had to stop at a bike store to buy me a padded seat so I had a better chance of making it home! We were less than half a mile away from home and my hubby ran over a nail and his tire blew. My 2 brothers headed home, grabbed my car and picked us up. We rested on the grass. I would have been able to make it home...I made it that far, I would've been able to ride another 10-13 blocks. I'm really glad I wasn't the reason that we didn't make it home! I would've never heard the end of it! Anyhow...I had to take muscle relaxers 5 minutes after we got home because I literally couldn't walk anymore!

Besides being tired, my back ache, and remembering what I was once capable of...the lesson I learned from all of this is...I can get far as long as I really push myself! Everything takes time, patience, and some sweat (and really tired feet). That's all folks. Maybe there will be a baby tomorrow???
