Pregnancy #4!

Just a few facts about my fourth pregnancy...

• cravings:Penguins (the goldfish cracker knock offs lol,) bagel bites, and the bigges craving I had... lays original potato chips!  I craved these BAD!  One time I made Chris bring me home little bags from the hospital cause it was Sunday and I felt like I was going to com-bust if I didn't have them!  Like I was pacing the craving was so bad! 

• Exhaustion: I usually started my mornings with a diet dr. pepper.  Not because I particularly love it but I NEEDED it!  Come 1:00 in the afternoon I was a complete zombie and you could probably find me passed out on the couch while Adyson and Reagan proceeded to do whatever they wanted! 

• Varicose veins: I had very unfortunate varicose veins this time in my left leg.  They were extremely painful and disgusting to look at!   

• Work outs: I was able to run through my pregnancy again!  I called it my pregnancy marathon.  By the end I had slowed way down but I was still able to go my 6 miles.  I ran my last 6 miles on Saturday and we had her first thing Monday morning!  I was also very active in my kickboxing/tae bo class at my gym!  The instructor didn't start at the gym until I had about 8 weeks left.  I almost didn't go in the first day because I looked a little strange being so pregnant kickboxing but I fell in LOVE with the instructor and class!  I was able to do it through the rest of the pregnancy and it was awesome!!!  I love my gym!  Many of my gym friends gave me baby gifts my last day and sent me off with lots of well wishes :)

 My best gym buddy, Linda!  She also happens to be 61 years old!  She's awesome!

 Kalin, my instructor!  She's a beast and I adore her!...

• Although I could run 6 miles and do kickboxing... I COULD NOT bend over!  My back was always tweaking out and the slightest bending over or sitting on the floor would send me into terrible pain!  It was so strange!

• contractions:  I actually had a lot of contractions this pregnancy!  Mostly when I ran!  I was also a dilated to a 1 a week before my c section!  To everyone else... that is nothing but since my body had never done it on it's own I was excited lol! 

•  Nesting: I felt like I nested for about 4 months this pregnancy!  Fitting a sixth family member into a 1300 sq. ft. home was no easy task. :)

• Done: Besides McKenna who was 10 days overdue... this was the only pregnancy I felt super DONE being pregnant! It definitely took a toll on my body and I was SO ready to meet my baby girl!

Friday afternoon we picked up the Nana and we were ready to have baby girl!!!

Last night having only 3 baby girls!...
