For the 10k Night Run, Mares sported her new shirt. She is definitely running for two! (Not only has she done this 10k while pregnant, she has run another 10k and a half-marathon to boot. Did I mention that she's incredible?)
The kids are all really excited for our October Baby. We saw the little on in our first ultrasound the day after Easter. I have never seen such an active one in utero. Because he is only 14 weeks old now, he still has some space in there to move. (Note: I am saying he for linguistic simplicity, but it definitely could be a she.) He would bounce around on the computer monitor and then apparently fall asleep. Then, he would begin bouncing again. He's quite the cutie...I can already tell...not that I am a biased dad or anything.
We'll have to write more about the kids' reactions when we told them, but both Madge and Pita probably spent five minutes asking us, incredulously, "Mom and Dad, are you joking?" As Pita said, "Is this for real or pretend?" When they finally figured out we weren't joking they were jumping around with joy.
Poor Mares has had some awful nausea for the past few months. This has been the worst nausea yet. The first trimester will be ending soon, so hopefully the nausea will be out the door, too. Say some prayers for her. In the meanwhile, the kids have been great helpers at home.
Now we'll have to figure out whether we need a new running stroller!
