"Your baby is twice as big as he was last month but he still weighs only about 190g (6.7oz). Meanwhile, most of the weight you've gained is from amniotic fluid, placenta, and water retention. Although things may seem calm on the surface, your little one is kicking, flexing, reaching, rolling, and even sucking his thumb now. If you haven't felt him move yet, you will in the next few weeks. His hearing is now functioning and he will be listening to your heartbeat."

Can't say I've felt movement yet, but then again, it is hard to know what it feels like the first time around. I read somewhere someone describing it as feeling as though butterfly wings are brushing up against your insides. Poetic, no? Well, I definitely have not felt anything like that yet. Within the next two weeks I should start feeling movement though.
On Earth Day (Tuesday) I decided to walk home. It is 5.2 km, believe it or not, from my office to home, and primarily up hill. It was a beautiful evening though, and I am glad I did it. It makes me think that when I can no longer run I will still be able to enjoy walking.
Ran on the mtn last night, and it was pretty good. We cut a few minutes off our previous time, but that could have been because we skipped out on the last hill in order to run around the lake :) I am definitely finding it harder to breathe & talk and run at my usual pace. Slowing down might be in order in the near future. Or maybe just running on flat?
