I have had some of you ask "Camille... why can't you run", or "Camille, when will you be able to start running again".  So, I thought I'd let Melanie tell you:

Thanks! We think so too. The grandparents laughed when they saw the shirt today and said she doesn't know what she is getting herself into. LOL

Soooooo happy for you Camille, congratulations! Anyone that can "produce" cute kids like Melanie should have more! :)

I am glad it wasn't an injury or anything bad!

From Camille on Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 11:55:57 from 75.171.24.7

Lucia - Thanks. LOL

No injury, but no running allowed until 6 weeks after baby smithson arrives. Doctor's Orders!

From Eric Day on Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 12:27:45 from 189.192.53.136

Well Camille, no wonder !

Congratulations, babies are the best, and girls are awesome (I have two girls and they are only 18 months apart).

From Sasha Pachev on Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 17:23:44 from 64.81.245.109

Congratulations!

Well to be fair, she isn't getting herself into anything. YOU guys got her into this!

She's going to love it :)

Congratulations!

Awesome! Can you still swim though? I remember once at the pool where I desperately tried to keep up with a woman who was 8 months pregnant. I did. Just barely though.

From Kelli on Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 21:12:31 from 71.219.76.64

HOW ARE YOU???? We have not chatted for a bit!

From Camille on Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 10:27:14 from 75.171.17.244

Eric and Sasha - thank you so much! We are super excited!

Rachel - this is very true. She has no idea what WE got her into. :o) But I think she is going to be a great big sister.

Mike - I can still swim. Actually, my doctor recommends it. I just haven't because I can't seem to get to the pool without Melanie, and now that she is a "big girl" she doesn't think she can sit in the floaty I have for her, so I end up holding her the entire time we are in the water. She is taking swimming lessons, but really, it's for her to learn survival skills. I'm not sure how well it's working though. Last weekend we were at the pool, in the baby pool area, and she kept tripping and not getting back up. I was constantly pulling her out of the water. It freaks me out.

Kelli - so sick... so very sick. The doc says between weeks 8 and 10 you are the sickest... but I'm at week 12 and feel much sicker now than I have the entire pregnancy. just shoot me. hopefully this is just morning sickness ending with a bang and soon it will be all gone. Then, maybe, I'll have the energy and desire to exercize again.

The logical solution is to give up sleep and find a pool that's open at 3 am so you can go while your family is in bed. Duh!

From Kelli on Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 17:21:49 from 71.219.76.64

So sorry, but it is all worth it in the end!!! Morning sickness stinks, I hope it is over very soon.
