Seriously?

Dearest Elijah baby,

Boy do I have a funny story for you ;) Well, today I decided to let your daddy put me through an arm work-out. The last few days when we go for walks, my tummy gets REALLY bad cramps, and it hurts pretty bad. So I thought I would ask your daddy to work me out in other ways now... Your daddy went to get his stuff to work out my arms, and I got ready to get down to business... First, I just want to say this disclaimer, I am NOT a client of your dad's, I only want a tiny work out to replace my walking for a couple weeks. We started, and let me tell you, it was rough. I'm not used to training with anyone, so this was very hard for me. I was doing it though! In fact, I was doing pretty good! I exclaimed in excitement to your dad that I could not wait to have some ice cream after we were finished. His response was, "you can't have ice cream, that will inhibit your protein synthesis." My what??? He went on to tell me that I need to eat more protein if I want to built muscle, and ice cream right after my work out won't help me reach my goal!!! Elijah, do you want to know what your mama's reaction to this was? Do you really want to know? Because I'm not proud of the way I reacted, but it was honest. I was honestly that disappointed. I TEARED UP!!! I started crying and saying, "but I want ice cream, I love ice cream, you can't tell me not to have ice cream!!!" So, um, I kinda freaked out... Took it a little to seriously I guess... But I LOVE ice cream... I couldn't help it. Your dad took a couple steps back and looked at me in shock. He then asked me, "are you really crying?" and then he came in to hug me while I was trying to bargain with him about it. He started laughing and kept hugging me, telling me that I can have ice cream, he just meant that having it right after I work out would make it harder for me to reach my goals... First of all, I HAVE NO GOALS... I'm just a pregnant woman trying to stay active. hahaha. He is such a trainer by nature that information just shoots out of him whether you like it or not. Oh man, we had a good laugh about the whole thing later... We are so excited to add you to our crazy family. We love you very much.

There you are! This was us yesterday. 7 months.
