Workout? I'm winded already!

After a few weeks of feeling the same, I am definitely not feeling normal. I first noticed that things were strange when I was winded after walking up a flight of stairs at my first class of the semester. Ironically, the class is titled "Fitness Testing and Health/Risk Appraisal" and I don't think I would be scoring very well on any test if I get tired going up 20 stairs. Luckily, I get to test a friend throughout the semester instead and I'll be absent the week of class when they're doing VO2 max testing. I know I'm nowhere near the 154 I held a few years ago.

The stair climbing fatigue aside, I do fine in my dance/Yoga Booty Ballet classes . But I can tell that I'm not as strong as I was even a month ago, which means it's time to dust off the weights and get my bum down La Cienega to TRAIN . Time to do a little research. Can I lift weights in my fragile condition? To the library!

Holy Rusted Metal, Batman! We're pregnant!

For those of you who thought we'd be on a permanent honeymoon, would never puree food (at least til we're nonagenarians), or would never get Play-doh stuck in our carpets, it looks like we're about to prove you wrong.

It's really early today so you may not be reading this 'til we feel it's ok to announce from the treetops that we really will have a little Rockwell later this year. Mama and Papa Rockwell will be grandparents for the first time, and the Snyders will have a grandchild on the west coast to compete for mantle space next to the charming Cummins boys.

We are hoping that by March we'll be able to explain why we haven't bought tickets to the wedding we've been looking forward to attending in New York or the vacation that we will have to reschedule. There's a little person coming! Since this is our first, there's a lot to learn. There's also a lot out there! I am planning to use this blog to share (not too much) and hopefully provide a little insight/amusement/observation on the enormous industry that caters to wee little people.
