Ack... I'm behind..

So it's been awhile since I've posted but here's the latest. I AM reading yeah! How I find the time is kind of funny. I find myself holding a book while I'm eating, or in bed late at night, in the bathroom while soaking in my claw foot tub (hey it's the only peace I get!) and recently on the train to Colorado and back. So far I've read ...

Tales from the Morgue Forensic Answers to Nine Famous Cases By Cyril Wecht, MD, JD

Not a bad read overall. I found it quite interesting to know the forensic side of these case rather than just what was portrayed on the news. Not gory or overly graphic but educational.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

I know this may not fit into the Gothic book reading challenge but it is an excellent lead into ...

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies DAWN OF THE DREADFULS by Steve Hockensmith

I must say I am thrilled to lose myself in this one. A member of my church gifted this to me and I'm dying to read it.

So only 2 books read this year, but hey I'm the mother of 2 lively boys with another on the way ....give me a break!

Now for a weight loss update. Considering my umm.. bumpy situation I haven't been able to get rid of any extra pounds, but I'm not worried. Here are my current measurements...


Neck 13"
Bust 42"
Under Bust 36"
Bicep (R) 12" (L)11.5"
Waist 47"
Hips 44.5"
Thigh (R) 28" (L) 27"
Calf (R) 16" (L) 16"


Just a reminder my last pre-pregnancy measurements were...

Neck- 12 3/4"
Bust- 39" (different bra)
Under Bust- 32 3/4"
Bicep (Flexed) 12 1/4" (not flexed) 11 1/4"
Waist- 31"
Hips- 38"
Thigh (thickest part) 25 1/5"
Calf- 15 1/2"

So overall I'm pleased because when you consider that I'm 28 weeks along measurement change is fully expected, but I haven't ballooned up like I did with my second child. Also I've recently fallen and have been unable to work out since Dec 15th. I fell down the stairs into my garage and broke my tailbone, cracked my sacrum, and tore my right round ligament. I went into the gym to work out with my trainer the following Tuesday but I was still unable to walk properly or climb stairs so she sent me home with strict orders not to come back until I had clearance from my doctor. Well clearance has not been granted because I've fallen twice since my initial fall. Argh! It's so frustrating. With my latest fall I had to have a NST (Non Stress Test) and another ultrasound was necessary. Baby is okay which is a relief. But I want to hit the gym because I feel like such a whale! I eagerly await the okay to work out again.
