Holy Cow!  I had the shocking realization last night that it was only 4 weeks till I have my baby!  In a way the time has gone SO quickly because I've been so busy with other things, but weight wise, I feel like I've been pregnant and huge forever!  And yes, I'm huge.  I always get so large, but I think this one I might be even bigger than the others because I seem to be carrying very "forward" if that makes sense.  He's all out there, not to mention the weight I've gained in my butt to balance out so I don't topple over.  Oh, and my chin, neck, and cheeks, arms, etc...  :) 
I will try to get a picture taken over the weekend to add.  BUT - on the positive side, I am already trying to get motivated to get back into shape.  One great thing about our neighborhood is that it is a quiet country road, with really no thru traffic.  The kids LOVE being able to ride their bikes regularly.  Because I don't know the neighbors well enough yet, and I don't want Hayden to get lost just riding around on his bike, whenever he wants to ride farther than the "3 houses down" limit we go on a walk around the block till we can get more familiar with it.  That boy is going to get me in shape more than anything else.  It's probably only 1/2 mile we go, but we go several times a day, and at this point it wears me out.  So I'm hoping after the baby comes we'll continue to go on walks as long as the weather permits.  That's something I never really had to worry about in Vegas.  Then the other day I went exploring in the car looking for a good running path.  Just across the street from our neighborhood is a very quiet country road that goes for about 3 miles, with a total of about 4 homes on the whole stretch.  So I'm planning to go running there once I get back into it. 
I will definitely need you guys' support to get back, even if it's long distance.  I saw a pic of myself the other day, and all I can say is YIKES!  Sadly I can see myself taking till October to heal, then justifying in my mind that it's practically the holiday season so I'll just enjoy and wait till January to start, but I know I can do a lot of damage in 2 1/2 months, or I can start out slowly and combat the holiday eating a little bit.  I still want to do a 5K in January at the latest, or ideally I'd like to at least walk a 5 K when Korina does the Half Marathon in Dec.  That way, I'll be there in spirit and I'll probably sweat and hurt as bad doing a 5K as you will with 13.1 miles, that's how out of shape I feel.  So there's my plans - remind me of them!!
