I had a great swim yesterday afternoon! I wasn't as fast as I have been in pre-pregnancy days, but I was able to go much faster than I have since I've had a baby on board. I did an 800 in a pretty good time and 8 fast 100s. And the fast 100s were pretty stinking good! I am so proud of myself for pushing hard. I'm doing the swim portion of an olympic-distance tri in just about a month, so I wanted to see what I could do yesterday. I know now that I shouldn't embarrass the rest of my team. Unless I get totally huge and slow in the next month....but I can't control that. Just going to keep going until I can't. :)
Last night about 3:30 am, I felt Peanut kick for the first time! It was sooooooo cool!! I've been waiting and waiting, and it finally happened. In the middle of the night! Peanut woke me up to say "HI!" I couldn't feel the kicks from the outside yet, so I didn't wake Patrick. But I now can't wait for him to be able to feel Peanut too. Going to be awesome the first time he can feel the kicking. I just hope that Peanut doesn't get in the habit of waking me at 3:30 every morning until he or she gets here. I need as much sleep as I can get before I don't get any.
Yesterday was a pretty awesome day. :) Loving life!!
