I was feeling very stiff again this morning so Dan and I decided to do an afternoon workout. I chose one with running... I really miss it and had fun with the workout the other day that had running in it. Dan chose a CrossFit Football (http://www.crossfitfootball.com/index.php?ts=1247857200) workout that he's been wanting to do for a while now called Volkswagon - he completed it in 7:43 (really good time!) My workout was from CrossFit Mom:
5 Rounds
200 m. Run
10 Push Ups
10 Good Mornings (45#)
10 Pull Ups
My time was 19:20 which I was really happy with considering the breaks that I take to catch my breath. The run, push ups and good mornings felt GREAT! And as always the stretching was much needed, especially through my shoulders and upper back. The pull ups I was able to do 5-4 strict for the first 3 rounds and the rest jumping with one foot. The last 2 rounds I did all jumping with one foot. Was quite a bit hotter outside today than it was Friday during the workout... but I just love working out outside! Made sure to stay in the shade, drink water and take breaks so the heat wasn't too much of an issue. Only really felt myself getting hot right after the run. Overall great workout... Dan was a great coach during the whole thing and cheered me on the whole time :) I love my husband so much and am a very lucky girl!
p.s. I have a confession to make - I ate something really weird the other day. A grape with mustard on top! I love mustard and love eating it my itself but mustard on top os a grape is an all time low for me hehe just thought I would share. Dan is thoroughly grossed out by me now... as if all of the other lovely pregnancy symptoms aren't enough hehe poor guy!
Hope you all are having a good weekend, talk to you soon!

Sweet Relief... Finally A Workout!!
Wow... I can not explain how badly I needed that workout! The second I started stretching I could literally feel my blood start flowing to my arms and legs. I think my belly has been hording all of the blood flow for itself and my limbs have been surviving on the bare minimum. Stretching has never felt so good :) I have no idea why I waited till Friday to do a workout... I should have known I would feel so much better once I got outside and started the workout. It is a great day here for doing a workout outside too, not too humid, cloudy and in the upper 80's i believe. The fresh air was great too... I think I'm going to ask Dan if we can go for a hike or something this weekend, I just love the outdoors so much! The workout was very relaxing for me, despite the crazy dog that lives across the street that barked at me the whole time. It was good practice for me on focusing my thoughts on positive things instead of focusing on the negative (the dog). Worked pretty well :) I did have to run inside in the middle of the workout though to go to the bathroom... all the bouncing during the run made me have to go. Here's the workout:
4 Rounds
400 m. run
25 Squats
My time was 15:26
On another note... my right eye keeps twitching. It has been going pretty much constantly for a week or two now. I am guessing it's just because of the increased blood flow but it's pretty crazy how often it does it. Oh well, just one of those things I guess.
Dan got home from the field a couple of hours ago, yayyyy!! He's already asleep though hehe not that I blame him. He only got about 4 hours of sleep in the last 2 days. Hopefully he'll wake up later so we can hang out for a little bit. He also gave me some news today... as I already knew he'll be going to WLC (Warrior Leader Course) next Tuesday for two weeks but he told me today he will also be going to Ranger School sometime soon after he gets home from WLC. Ranger School is 60 some days long. I'm a little sad but still excited for him to go :) By the time he gets home it will be near the end of December and I will be 30 weeks along... time sure does go by fast when you look at it like that hehe. So I'm sad for the little things he'll miss while he's gone but at least he'll still have 10 or so weeks to be home before the baby arrives.
That's all the news for now... everyone is asleep here except me... Rico is snoring and Dan is talking in his sleep hehe I love my family, they make me laugh :) Talk to you all soon!

Pictures - 12 weeks and 6 days
End of Week 12 - Week 13 Here We Come!!
Doesn't seem much bigger to me in these pictures but I just measured it and I am at 36"... yesterday I was at 35 3/4 " so it is definitely growing :) Also one thing I forgot to mention that I think is interesting - the left side of my belly sticks out further than the right side. From our appointments and everything i am pretty sure that's the side that the baby is on. Kind of cool :) Haven't felt any movement yet but hopefully soon! So far no workout today... just have not been feeling very energetic. Dan is out in the field for a couple of days and this has left me feeling a little blah. That's ok though, he'll be back for our three day weekend tomorrow!Hope you guys are having a great day, talk to you soon!

Week 12 Update
Also I forgot to update you on my weight... I am at 144 according to the doctor's office which sounds much more accurate to me than 140. So I'm thinking that our home scale is off but now it is reading 144 as well so we will see. For now we'll say I've gained 4 lbs which is right on track with what I should be gaining, so yay for that!
Also, I went to Babies R Us today for the first time and browsed around... can't wait to find out the gender because they had some adorable outfits! Luckily I made it out of there without buying anything :)
As for my workouts, so far this week I have not felt like working out much aside from yoga. Feeling tight all around though and think some sort of workout would be good for me so will most likely try and get one in tomorrow.
Also in regards to workouts I will be posting a couple videos on here soon with workout ideas and demonstrations for any of you that are interested in simple crossfit type workouts that you can do at home - thanks Cait for the idea, hope they help :)
Hope you guys are having a great evening and are enjoying the videos so far!

Workouts and Very Exciting Updates :)
Happy Monday Everyone :)
Just wanted to update you that I have taken a break from workouts since Thursday but will be doing yoga this morning and possibly a workout later today. Will update later if I do.
Very exciting news before I go ...
Dan bought us a portable dishwasher yesterday so I won't have to spend time washing dishes anymore :) Huge relief for now and will be even better when the baby gets here! Got a great deal on it too which is always exciting, not to mention the family that we bought it from gave us a couple packs of all natural dish detergent to go with it that smells great! This is very exciting because I have been trying to switch over to all natural cleaning products since we found out I was pregnant. Overall better for us and better for the baby :)
Also... we are starting to rip up all of the carpet in the house since we found out recently that we have hardwood floors underneath :) Very excited about this change!
That's all for today... I will be doing the next video update today or tomorrow :) Have a great day everyone and I will talk to you all soon!

Workout - Wednesday, August 19
Workout - With John and Ann
Deadlifts:
65#/10, 85#/7, 105#/6, 125#/5, 135#/5, 135#/5
Met-Con:
10 Push Ups
30 Thrusters (15# DBs)
Run 200 m.
20 Push Ups
20 Thrusters (15 # DBs)
Run 200 m.
30 Push Ups
10 Thrusters (15 # DBs)
Run 200 m.
8:37
Awesome workout! Felt great during the whole thing. For the deadlifts 135# was the perfect weight to stay at... felt like I was working but not heavy enough to make me strain at all. This weight is a little under 50% of my max deadlift which is just about right for me to be lifting right now I think. Was able to keep a good pace on the met con without getting too out of breath due to using lighter weight than normal.
Hope you all are having a great day so far! We have our second prenatal appoinment later today and get to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time :) Very excited... will let you know how it goes!
