Crafts, Workouts, and Pregnancy...lately

I know it's been a while, but I've been super busy working my full-time job, teaching Pilates, being the wife of a nursing student and the mother of a toddler with an attitude. Add to my list of job duties carrying our family's next baby and that all equals one tired lady!  Whew!  For those of you don't already know, I'm pregnant with our second child and am due May 7th, 2013.  We are so excited be expanding our family and Lila is already being a great big sister.  She tells me all the time how much she is going to help when the baby finally gets here.  :)  I have no doubt that she will be a great deal of help.

Moving on, I've been trying to get more and more crafts and work done around the house.  When Neil goes to work, I get all gung-ho about doing stuff.  About a month ago, I moved some things around the house to try to make room in our third bedroom for the new baby.  I installed a ceiling fan (that I'm quite shocked still works LOL).  I moved my sewing/craft desk into our bedroom.


I made a floor mat for the utility room out of river rocks that I wanted to repurpose.  I don't have a picture of mine, but this is where I got the idea!


I made Monster juice drinks for Lila's Halloween party at school!


I found this pattern for crocheting flowers that I'm going to stitch on to the headband ear muffs that I made.  My co-worker Sandy helped teach me how to do the stitches correctly.  I have made several now.  I hope they will turn out as cute as I want them to.  :)  I'll be sure to post a pic of the complete finished product.


As far as workouts go, I've been trying to keep running and stay active as much as possible during this first part of pregnancy.  On Friday, I'll officially be in my second trimester.  WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!! I've been doing much better this time as far as the exhaustion goes.  At this point with Lila, I was still in hibernation.  LOL  I'm still teaching Pilates and I'm wanting to try to start running more, but between that and personal training, I don't think I'd EVER see my family.  I'll continue to try to get my run on during my lunch hour.  Any advice on this would be great!  Thanks!
