mommy is super fast!

...well, not really.
Today mommy ran the rock n roll 1/2 marathon just for you. I want you to know that
I thought of you the entire time and one day I hope we can run it or walk it together. Of course, only if you want to.
Grams and Poppa watched you- you said your first word, dada. While I will tell daddy that its for him, I actually think you were saying this about the doggy, Porter. So proud of you!!!

I wanted to run the race last year when I was pregnant with you (about 5 or 6 months pregnant) but the doctor told me two days before that I couldn't because they wanted to do some tests on you. So, to be extra careful not to hurt you, I was ordered to keep restful for a few days. Even though I wanted to run, I wouldn't think of doing anything that would harm you.

My only regret is that you and daddy were not at the finish line as I had dreamed about. Maybe next year...
