The last week and a half has been a little weird because I've lost most of my symptoms of actually being pregnant. As I have mentioned before, I am a worrier and this causes worry. I find myself knocking on the barely rounded surface of my stomach and venturing a tentative, "Um...hello? Anyone home? Nubby? You in there? Nauseate me once for yes, twice for no."
But my pants still fit so I guess I should be thankful. I do have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and my first irrational demand to the doctor will be assurance that everything is fine and the Nubby is a shining example of health. According to online sources, he/she is now larger than a Vienna sausage but smaller than a peach and no longer has webbed fingers or toes. Thatta boy/girl!
I have almost stopped fencing at this point though I planned to attend a little while longer. Actually my reasons for not going last week had nothing to do with pregnancy and I may try to pull out another couple footwork lessons before my uniform totally betrays me. To be honest, I'm not as disappointed about missing this season as I always expected I would be. At the end of last season I was just feeling burnt out so maybe that was just God's way of preparing me for this.
We did join the YMCA, however, and I'm looking forward to making good (and strangely appropriate) use of the pool as I morph into a walrus (hopefully without the mustache). I just want to keep moving, I can feel my muscles and joints tightening up from lack of exercise and that sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.
More news after the doctor.

The pool is very good exercise for women who are prego. Also though you should do Yoga and the elipticle (sp?) machine! You may even be able to find a yoga class especially for pregnant women. But you probably already know that. And not that you might be interested, but its actually fine to even run on a treadmill up until the third tri-mester. There are probably people at the gym or your doc could give you good workouts for during pregnancy. I'm glad ya'll joined the Y! I'ma actually try to join a gym here in Puno too!
