Workouts:
- Monday - yoga
- Tuesday - 4 mile run/walk
- Wednesday - 4 mile run/walk
- Thursday - rest (Thanksgiving)
- Friday - 6 mile jog
- Saturday - rest
- Sunday - 6.25 jog
- 20 miles for the week! 84 miles for the month of November!
My goal is still to make it to at least 30 weeks (next week) with my running/jogging and then just try to keep active. Luckily, I only have about 2 1/2 weeks of work left until we close for Winter Break (yes, working in education does have some really nice benefits) so that will free up some time during the day to fit in some physical activity.
Symptoms: Occasional heartburn and hip pain
Movement: Still lots of kicking! I get a lot of kicking at work and I wonder if my students can see my stomach moving. Baby Raposa is a mover and a shaker for sure!
Sleep: Ugh, I miss it! I've been in a pattern where I get up every two hours or so with hip pain and have to re-adjust my sleeping position. I've been frequenting the spare bedroom lately so at least Ben can get a good night's sleep.
Question of the week: How many kids are you planning to have? ONE! UNO! UNE! First of all, can I just make it through this pregnancy before I have to answer additional questions about follow-up children? Secondly, there is NO WAY (absolutely none!) that I will be doing the Lovenox shots through another pregnancy. They are really horrendous and I dread them every night. I secretly pray that Ben will forget, but he's been so good about administering them.
Several people have told me that everyone says they are only have one child until after their first child is born and then gets a little older. Fair enough, but for right this moment, the Raposa family will be a one child family. Ben is an only child and "seems" to have turned out okay (love you, honey!).
Black Friday Find!: 46" Samsung SMART TV!
Typically, Ben and I like to go out shopping on Friday to get a few gifts and purchase something for ourselves that we need/want. Our TV in the bedroom has been intermediately working, so we were in the market to see if there were any good deals on Black Friday. We live pretty close to a Best Buy and drove by on Thursday on the way home from Thanksgiving - it was an absolute zoo!
Ben went back in the morning and Best Buy had already sold out of the 50" Samsung model that we were eyeing. But they had about 10-40" TVs left. He decided to head to Wal Mart to see the deals they had there and found that they had also sold out of the 50" Samsung model, but did have two 46" TVs left. Luckily, he was able to snag the very last one and now we have a brand new TV for our living area and a replacement in our bedroom.
We also went over to Citrus Park mall after he got home and didn't really see any great deals. I have to be honest, I was less than impressed with the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals this year. But after braving the mall on Friday, I will happily shop online for the remainder of the Christmas season.

Current Obsession: Mrs. Meyer's Basil soap! Ben and I went to a holiday party at our friend Rhonda's house last Wednesday evening and she had this soap in her bathroom. It smelled so good! I asked her about it and she said it was something she picked up at Target. Since we were planning to go on Friday for some Black Friday shopping, I made a mental note to check it out. Would you believe that our Target and online was completely sold out/out of stock of the Basil scent?!?!
I texted Rhonda to let her know that she was officially making me crazy! ;) However, we were in Spring Hill/Brooksville on Sunday and just happened to be driving past a Target - look at what I scored: (!!)
Speaking of Brooksville, Ben and I went up that way on Sunday for an early birthday celebration for his Grandma. She suggested that we try a newer place called the Florida Cracker Kitchen. Oh my goodness, y'all! This place is a diamond in the rough (the link above will take you to their menu)! Lots of true southern dishes and nice, southern hospitality from the waitstaff. (Also, I tried Ben's sweet tea - so good!) If you are ever near downtown Brooksville and don't want to go to one of the chains on Highway 50, check them out!
Finally, here's a picture of the belly:
29 weeks, 6 days.
Photo credit to Mr. Raposa, of course. Until next week, y'all!
So cute! Did you try using the tape for extra support?
