For those that are familiar with the movie Finding Nemo, about mid way through the movie when the dad (Marlin) feels like he will never see his son Nemo again, he is swimming along with absentminded companion Dori and she is singing “just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming” to try and encourage him during their journey. Right now I feel like Dori except for I just keep thinking “just keep walking.” At this point while it’s not that I couldn’t do additional exercises, etc. it all seems to be slightly daunting and I can slowly feel myself beginning to get tired more easily. I can’t say I didn’t see it coming, my friends have warned me this would happen along with my “What to Expect When You are Expecting” book. I am trying to walk at least once (if not twice per day with Cosmo) and I am still walking up and down the four flights of stairs each day at work, so for now that will have to do. The most important thing is to try and keep up my energy and stay active as we get closer to the home stretch. One of the very important things I learned during child birth class is “movement during labor is key!” For now I will just stay with the mantra and “keep walking.”
