Let me tell you a little bit about the kind of exercise that gets my heart rate right up there. I walked down the little lane that leads to the communal mailbox...this is really not very far. I was pushing Jenna in the stroller, so okay, that's some extra weight there. We got back, and I then walked up the stairs to grab a short-sleeve shirt (it was gorgeous, gorgeous weather today)...and BAM. I actually had to lay down on the bed for a few minutes because my heart was racing so much. I was just exhausted from all of that. Well, give me a break. Can I have my own body back yet? Please? It's not that I want all the sleepless nights with a squalling newborn, but...hey, give me some love, prego peeps. You know what I'm talking about. :)
Just a little over three weeks...hang in there, Ker! You can do it!
By the way, if you come to the blog looking for anything non-baby-related, there ain't gonna be much in the next little while. :)

Obviously, I can totally relate. The slightest excursion causes my heart to pump, I get light headed and I most certainly need to lay down.
The odd thing is, when I go to the Y and work out on the elliptical machine there, I'm pretty good. But I stretch first, then I work up slowly, then I cool down, then I stretch again.
But if I walk up the stairs in my house, I need to take a 5 minute break afterwords! :-)
I, too, am ready for my body back.
