Comments: It was nice to know that if I had my baby this week, he would likely be a-okay. Honestly, though, I don’t feel like he will be early. Ian has an actuarial exam on October 30, so baby Ramey needs to wait until at least after then. Running has felt good this week, and some of my paces were even lower than they have been the past couple weeks. The only day I had discomfort was on Saturday during the 3 miles, and I think it was because I had to pee. A lot of people ask if it’s uncomfortable to run, but for me, it usually isn’t. I feel pretty normal running, except of course that I’m running slower and will take a break on a hill to make sure I’m not breathing too hard. Also, I think the Gabriella maternity belt I've been wearing helps support my belly. I’m surprised with my running because I did not think it would feel as good as it has- knock on wood. We set up the crib this week, and I did a lot of work on the nursery as well. We’re getting there!
