It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have no problem with pg women running, but she was 39 weeks! Was she planning to run it 3 weeks after having a baby?!

Bob also saw a pretty pregnant lady running the half marathon we did yesterday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What do you mean? 40 weeks is typical.

I've flown with Matilda twice, and both times she had to take her shoes off.

Sorry, I meant that the "you get to keep your shoes on!" TSA news was only going to apply to kids, although I have no idea when they'll actually instate that in the screen process.

Edit: I should also add that when I went through security in London on the way back to the U.S., they didn't make me take off my shoes. I was unreasonably thrilled at the time.

Oh, I didn't know that. eta: I didn't think about the difference between 4 weeks and a month.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

bon bon, you do have a point though. She had to know (she already had one kid) that at 39 weeks, she could pop at any second.

It still seems fairly nuts to do to a body that's already got a lot going on, though.

Family friend did a similar thing. She was running the whole pregnancy, actually did a 50 miler at 6 weeks before she realized she was pregnant. She really took to being pregnant, in the sense of pretty much no side effects other than the obvious. She did not give birth until 2 days after the marathon. But she beat my dad's time, which he found amusing , if unencouraging.
