Perhaps one of my more random blog posts… maybe random = mildly entertaining/worth your time… or maybe random = complete waste of your time and my corner of the internet. Guess you’ll have to read to decide. At my 38 week appointment this week the doctor took a look at baby to see if it…
So much to write about! Two great things have happened to me in the last week: First, Anytime Fitness in Northfield offered a gym membership to help me achieve the 2016 Olympic trials standard.
