We had our 20 week ultrasound a couple weeks ago and while everything looks great with the baby, I have been diagnosed with placenta previa which means I had to stop running :( I was really bummed about it at first in terms of missing hanging out with my friends and feeling so great after a run, but of course that didn't last long. It's what's best for the baby and I can do it no problem.
So, I haven't been out for a run in three weeks but I'm finding ways to keep active and see my friends. When we would usually meet for 6 miles during the week, I'll meet them all to chat, send them off and then walk around town until they finish. Walking isn't nearly the same as running, but I'll take what I can get. When they're all done, we still go out to dinner, so I'm still getting my friend time in.
We've been prepping the nursery and I'm proud to say it is almost done! I patched all the holes, prepped the walls and painted the entire thing 'pebble gray'. Now we'll just wait for that to cure to put up the fun border I absolutely love and be done.
Registering for baby stuff was fun and not as stressful as I'd imagined, so that was a fun not-running event I was able to enjoy. Now I have to wait patiently for our shower in November. My husband wants to go out and buy everything right now and fending him off has become pretty time consuming, which has been good since I have extra time on my hands :)
Other than that, I've still been feeling great! I haven't had any symptoms that come along with previa and have been able to enjoy every other part of my everyday life, so I'm good to go. I just hope the second part of this pregnancy goes as smoothly.
Fantastic idea to still meet up with the running crew. Fingers crossed for Charlevoix but really????? LOL
