Running makes your baby smarter. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? But this was the conclusion of a study conducted a few years ago at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Head researcher James Clapp, M.D., author of Exercising through Your Pregnancy, found that the 5-year-old children of women who had exercised during pregnancy scored significantly higher on an IQ test than the children of women who had remained sedentary through their pregnancy.
Hmmm - I guess I better dig out my running clothes. I can't have
one smart baby and one with a lower IQ, now can I? I just wish I
had the energy to run....
Well acording to Fertility Friend today is my Ovulation Day. C'mon over here baby - I'm ovulating! Talk about taking the fun out of it!
This is TTC month #1. With Sierra it didn't get any further than that. We "tried" once and got lucky. Actually, he was trying and I was trying to make it look like I was trying but not really. I tried to time stuff around what I thought were my fertile days yet found out later that my cycles are long.... And Voila! We have a cute l'il toddler running around. This time around things are different. I'm not scared - I know what I'm going to face and I know I can handle it. I'm welcoming the prospect of getting pregnant with open arms! The $$ bit scares me - but we got a plan... I'm going to request an extra year leave of absence and run a home daycare for a year. LOL - yep me, the one who was scared shitless of having a kid is actually loking forward to running a daycare!
