7 Months? Shopping... and of course some softball!

So, the bump.com tells me I am 28 weeks pregnant with 84 days left to go... but the book we are reading says that at 28 weeks I should only have about 60 days to go. This is a significant difference, but since I got my shot this week in the place where the sun don't shine I am confident that we are at 28 weeks which, after my not so reliable math work, should put us at 7 months! Things are becoming a bit painful and poor Paul is not getting much sleep. I am waking up in the middle of the night with leg pains and calf and foot cramps, right about the time the Tylenol I take before bed to prevent this wears off. This causes me to twitch and kick and on the guest bed we are sleeping in he feels everything. I am going to try to stretch a bit more before bed and do some of those fancy yoga positions I learned in my prenatal yoga class and see if that helps.

Shopping for baby stuff is becoming increasingly fun! Especially since yesterday's adventures included a new car. We just began the search and hope to narrow it down in the next few weeks, but new cars are always fun and I can't wait to name the new nav system. I also purchased a diaper bag last night. After browsing at a boutique in town and falling in love with a diaper bag, which was expensive enough to make me think Paul would leave me even 7 months pregnant if I bought it, I went online and found a great bag! I ended up buying somewhat matching accessories by the desinger from the boutique to match the less expensive yet still classy looking bag. I can't wait for it to be delivered, but will be disappointed if at least 1 person does not comment about how amazing it is on a daily basis. Although my guess is that they will focus on Baby Girl Amisano and NOT my accessories, my hopes are still high! A good friend is also taking me to a local consignment shop today to browse around. I am told this is a very nice little shop that does not smell musty like my grandfather's basement, so I am excited to see what deals I can find. Oh yeah, we are having breakfast at La Farm first so this day should be just fabulous!

On the softball field... after months of conditioning and running the girls hard, we re-timed the girls sprints from home to first yesterday with drastic improvement. I am so proud! It was great to see how excited they were with their improvement too! I could see the changes over time, but to have the numbers in front of them really proved that they had improved. One player went from 4.3 secs to 3.55 secs. This is a huge deal because she wants to be a slapper and you can't do that without speed. If I can get her under 3 secs and work on the slap in the off season, we will have a real contender on our hands. I am looking forward to conditioning with the girls post baby belly and getting back into shape. It was 'funny' trying to do a push up at yesterday's practice. I was able to bend the arms down, but got stuck and could not get myself back up. It was like someone was sitting on my back (or in my belly :) ). Quite frustrating but I could not help but laugh. There is not much I can do with a 20lb weight lifting limit.
