Hi Baby Gwen

One year ago today I found out I was pregnant with you ! What a year ! We love you and are so happy you are part of our family.

You mean I have to tie my shoes each time I wear them

I am a horrible shoe tier. I do the bunny ears . So on runs my shoes come untied . SO when I do get a good tie on ... I leave it . And just slip my running shoes on . I know I know . So i run 30-40 miles a week on shoes that were probably last ties 2 weeks before. I didnt really think it mattered and then Marc today watched me hobble around in my running shoes he said "Kate your shoes are loose" "Yeah I know I never tie them" WHAT???!! SO I untied my shoe and tied it and it really made a difference . Trust me I am still in pain but I probably (hopefully) just sprained it . My first sprain.

All I had to do was make it till February

This is what I kept telling myself. January is always a tough month for me. February would be better . The baby older, the weather warmer. Just make it to February. I even registered for a 4 mile race on February 1st in Central Park. My grandma always said what you do the 1st of a month is how the rest of the month would go. So she would never schedule doctor appointments on the 1st. Yesterday I went for a 6 mile run careful not to run over any ice , came home and laid out my clothes for the race in the morning . Planned out my plan of pumping and running to the subway , which stop I would get off at ect.., And then I was carrying the baby to the changing table and all of a sudden a sharp pain coursed through my foot . I almost dropped the baby I could not walk . I don't know if I heard a pop or a crack or what the baby was crying and soon so was I . Marc came home a while later and I was beside myself . I can't walk across the room, I can't hold the baby or Rory . It feels like I broke it but how? So I sit this morning horrified should I go to the ER or should I wait and see . How will I get Rory to Music class ? How will I work at ABC all the way on the west side? All I had to do was make it to February and 6 hours before I might have broke my foot.
