We made it to six months!!!! I’ve been saying I’m almost six months pregnant for a few weeks so it feels good to finally be here. I’m feeling great and can’t wait to run the Solider Field 10 mile race on Saturday. When I signed up for the race I had no idea how I would feel at six months pregnant, but I can happily say I’m feeling better than ever.

Baby’s size? Baby Allie is the size of an ear of corn (around 8.5 inches and 1.5 lbs.).
Workouts: Ran 13 miles total for the week. I took a few days off from running and have been rolling my legs like it’s my job and my knee is feeling much better. Thank goodness!

After coaching on Saturday, Tony and I went for a 3 + hour walk and I was excited and shocked to see I walked over 30,000 steps!
Maternity clothes? Yep, and still wearing my regular workout clothes.
Sleep: Most nights this week I slept for 8 hours except for Saturday night I slept for 12! I needed the rest after walking so much.
Best moment this week: My twin sister, Katie graduating with her PhD!! I’m so incredibly proud of her.
Miss Anything? Running fast.
Movement: I feel her move around my bikini line. I have an anterior placenta so I’m still not feeling big movements.
Food cravings: Peanut butter, Clif bars, Chipotle, and of course frozen yogurt.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing this week!

It sounds like you’re having a great pregnancy! I’m just about 26 weeks now, and starting to feel it. I’ve felt like myself up until now, but I’m feeling a lot more crampy/uncomfortable now in my lower abdomen…I think the baby is just trying to find more room to grow!

It’s being going great so far, but I think I’m going to start feeling it more within the next couple of weeks just like you.
