Walking and Bike Riding

I have suddenly been more motivated to start walking. I started this past Monday. Since that day none of the kids were in school, I decided to take their bikes and let them ride while I walked.

The boys really enjoyed it, but after we got all of about 30 feet from the car Lily started saying her legs hurt. So we ended up going back to trade her bike for the stroller. Anyway, I have walked every day this week. I am thinking this is what suddenly motivated me....

I'M PREGNANT!!! That's right! We are having baby #4!! Whoo hoo! We found out on Sunday, and since this is will be my 4th baby, I figured I should get a head start on trying NOT to show before I am 2 months. :) However, it is awefully hard to get a good walk in when we are stopping every 5 seconds to "check out" (as Daniel kept saying) these old train tracks that run alongside part of the walking track.

They were so funny. We haven't taken the bikes every day (one day I had all 3 kids in the double stroller...that was a pretty breathy walk), but it's a good way to change it up every now and then. I hope I'll be able to keep up the walking all through this pregnancy. Oh, and by the way, Lily has already told us that if the baby is a boy, she will not be helping us or holding him or loving him. She really wants a sister. Yay for babies!! (And walking and biking).
