Towards the end of the weekend I started to spot a little and got worked up about it after it continued for a couple of days. I went to see my midwife and baby is great (heart beat was 135 bpm) and the spotting is for unknown reasons.
She's told me to stop doing any physical exercise and lay low for the next month or so to let whatever is bothering my belly have some time to heal. I totally see her point of view and followed her orders but it left me in quite a predicament.
I was supposed to start teaching two 14-week Pilates sessions at the school starting NEXT week (meaning the classes were already full and people had paid their dues) and I had to email the fitness coordinator to tell her that I can't teach. Worst part was that I know there isn't a replacement as I'm the only one who teaches at the school. Did I feel like a jerk or what?
Luckily, she was very gracious about it which made me feel a heck of a lot better. Now, how in the world am I going to slow down for a whole month?! I guess some things are meant to be. Life will slow down when the baby comes so again - I suppose I'm just being prepared by the powers that be.
I'm still allowed to take Sir Winston Stanley Powell on walks so I'll be getting a good hour of exercise most nights which I suppose makes up for some of my non-Pilates but I'm worried now that I'll get rusty teaching and doing the postures myself now that I'm not going to be teaching for another 6 months or so (have to wait until my rectus femores goes back to it's home after the baby is out).
Oh well, got to do what's best for the wee nut and me.
PS - the baby is 13 cm now not including legs and arms. That's pretty freaking big if you ask me!

Kick, kick roll!!!
I was just booted in the uterus 2 times in a row followed by what felt like a roll.
Green apple, blueberries & decaf coffee make this wee one move.
SOOOOOOOO cool!!!!
It was 11:28 a.m. and I was in the lunch room at work being quiet with my hand on my belly.
Yay!
PS - I think it's a boy.

Good news!
Just a super quick post....
I had my midwife appointment on Thursday and she read me the results of my IPS test which included the ultrasound technicians take on my ultrasound I posted a few posts back.
It read that the baby is measuring right on target based on conception in the torso, leg & arm size, that the nuchal translucency fluid in the neck is the right amount and that she could see the bridge of the nose which combined (neck fluid and nose bridge) means there is little to no chance of the baby having downs syndrome, spinabifida etc. WAHOO!
She also listened for the heart beat and it was 140 beats per minute which she said is great.
I also found out that my midwife delivered for one of my friends older sisters and that she was amazing for both her kids so that made me feel really, really good.
That is all!
