Joe and I got back to Florida on January 3rd. We both worked one day, then were off South Florida to run the Ragnar relay from Miami to Key West. Crazy right?! The distance was 199 miles and there were 12 of us to do it. We each had 3 portions of the run. My runs were: 3.1 miles, 4 miles, and 2 miles. I actually felt pretty good on the first two runs. It was the last one that got me. It was hot and I was running on very little rest. I ran the 2 miles then felt pretty nauseous for a couple hours after. But, I did finish!! and it felt great!! Our team did amazing. We placed at 62 out of almost 300 runners! Pretty good right? Key West was beautiful. The weather was perfect. Joe and I definitely would love to go back and spend some time there.
We got back from Key West on Sunday January 8th. I worked till Friday then was off to Chicago for training with the Surface team. Chicago....brrrrrrrr! A bunch of snow dumped on the city right before I got there and oh boy was it cold. The first day I was there I had time to spare so I did some shopping on Michigan Ave. (outdoor shopping mall). I felt like I needed a ski mask on outside, but besides that the city was very beautiful. The next two days were my training days. I learned so much! New haircuts, products, updos and plenty more. The Surface family was very excited for me when I told them I am expecting. The trip was great, but I was looking forward to getting back home to be with Joe and May in Florida where the weather was a bit warmer! haha
Only picture I took in Chicago (was from a car window). With gloves on my iPhone was useless. I decided to keep them on instead of taking pictures while outside.
On January 18th we had our check up appointment with the midwife. Looks like I have put on 7 pounds. Everything went well! I am healthy and so is the baby, The midwife poked my belly with this thing so she could hear the baby's heartbeat. The baby kept moving so it was difficult to get the heart beat, but once she locked in on that sound it was amazing. The heart rate was 150. She said we have a very active baby. It's going to be crazy when I really start feeling all that movement!
The weekend following our appointment, on Sunday, I went down to Orlando to do a show/class with one of the Surface platform artist. Sooooo much fun! He had me wear a microphone (first time ever!) and I chatted quite a bit about products and the hair I was styling.
This weekend coming up: Weekend of January 28th. FINALLY no out of town plans!! I look forward to just hanging out right here in the Gainesville area with Joe and May.....oh yeah aaaand we will be dog sitting Moose! May is going to love having her best bud over for the weekend. Joe and I will be doing a little suv/car shopping. So wish us luck!!
