Nope, that didn't feel good
Note to self: You are 7 months pregnant. Your body can no longer do everything you want it to.
Like lunge to grab Stella before she sprints over the see the neighbor's dog. Ouch. I forget that my growing belly makes fast movement and long extension difficult. Things just don't move like they used to.
I had some dull pain in my lower left side for a few hours yesterday, but everything feels good this morning. The baby has been moving like crazy since Saturday, so the strain didn't seem to bother him any. Still, a good reminder for mama to take it easy.

Random Thoughts
A few random thoughts on a Friday morning...
1) I'm starting to think blonde hair washes me out. I need to find a happy medium between blonde and my natural dull brown color (ick). But for any major change to take place, I probably need to do a new base color, not just highlights. So it looks like I'm blonde until the baby arrives.
2) I'm really, really sad to leave Stella tomorrow. Like really sad. She's in great hands (my brother and sister-in-law are dog sitting), but I'm very anxious to go on our little weekend getaway. I literally wrote a page long document with care instructions. Ben reminds me that we'll only be gone for 27 hours. Can you imagine how I'll be leaving the baby?
3) I need to step up the exercise and water intake. I was great about working out through my first trimester, but once my doctor told me to stop running, I lost my motivation. Luckily, it's warming up and Ben and I have taken some long walks with Stella. But one was to Dairy Queen, so I'm not sure that counts.

Pain in the...
I ran a 5K in December, very early in my pregnancy. I didn't stretch enough for the cold temps, and (moderately) pulled my right glute.
That was over three months ago. And wouldn't you know it, it's still bugging me. I stretch it, I heat it, I massage it, I rest it. But it continues to seize up on me whenever I run or walk. It's a literal pain in the ass.
My doctor says it's just one of the physiological complications of pregnancy. My body is so focused on growing a person, that my own muscle recovery suffers. And in turn, so do I. Just another reminder of what a total body experience pregnancy is.
