http://newmum.blog.com Thu, 19 Jun 2008 21:43:40 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This is my final post. When I started this Blog, it was with the full intention of taking part in the Parish Walk! With a new baby, it was difficult to find time to train but, with the focus of the Parish, I did manage to make time to get ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/06/19/good-luck/ I went to see the physio to check her opinion on whether I should still take part. She said that although pregnant women do take part - depending on the advise of their GPs - she would advise me not to take part. What? Miss it again? I did train ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/06/19/advise-of-the-physio/ Thank goodness the first weeks of pregnancy are over. I was feeling so down, so sad about everything. With the first pregnancy, I felt emotional every now and then and I'd just have a good cry and immediately feel better. But with this one, I haven't felt like crying - ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/06/19/feeling-better/ OK, I'm pregnant. What about work? It was too early to tell them. What about the Parish Walk blog? Well, now you know! But the big question is,  can I still do the Parish Walk? The pregnancy handbook which every pregnant woman gets from her GP states that 'Taking regular exercise ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/06/19/early-pregnancy/ It's funny how when it's the second time around, doing a pregnancy test doesn't hold quite as much fear as the first time at all. I'ts so recently that I did my last pregnacy test (less than a year, put it that way) that I still had one test stick ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/06/19/ohmygodicant-be/ I've still been feeling absolutely exhausted. My husband made us our tea and I stayed on the sofa, with my plate on a tray. After the meal, I got up, still holding the tray in one hand and felt a sudden 'pidoing!' on one side of my lower abdomen. It ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/06/19/a-strange-twinge/ Since my last posting, every weekend morning I've woken up with the aim of training...it just hasn't happened because I've felt so exhausted. It's taken me all my energy to get up, get the baby ready, take her for a walk and return home, pushing the pram up Old Laxey ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/06/19/just-too-tired/ I've been feeling good since the Begoade Road walks so I decided to see how long it would take me to get to Ramsey today. It was pretty hot so I took some of those water bottles on a waist belt and filled them up again at the Dhoon. Again, ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/05/11/laxey-to-ramsey/ I must get out in the car and measure the route I've been doing for the past few weekends: Laxey to Baldrine along the main road, over to Lonan Old Church, down onto the Groudle Road, up to the top of the Whitebridge, up and around Coan Rennie on Begoade ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/05/11/i-cant-be-going-that-quick-can-i/ Went to the Lakes for a couple of days last week and ended up at Go Ape, a kind of Krypton Factor assault course but at 60 foot above ground, between trees. You're in a harness, so you can't fall off but the death slides and various air-bourne challenges are ... http://newmum.blog.com/2008/04/08/go-ape/
