Am I pregnant? Yes. Does this mean I'm disabled or crippled in any way? No. I may a FEW limitations when it comes to what I come in contact with at work (considering it's an emergency room and people come in with God only knows what) and some slight changes in weight and movement at the gym.
That being said, Stephen and I tried for years to have this baby, I know what my body can and can't handle, in no way would I put myself or my baby in harms way.
It's nice to be considered and for people to offer their help, but if I tell you no thank you, I'm ok, I'm fine, or anything along those lines please know I mean it. I may need more help as I progresses and will adjust what I do when the time comes. But please don't tell me what I can and can't do, I know what my body is capable of.
And as far as crossfit goes, I have every intention of continuing to attend regular classes until I deliver or until my body says otherwise. I have been trained by experienced professionals who have and will continue to guide me in my workouts throughout my pregnancy. Crossfit gets a bad reputation when you have trainers with little to no experience and when you as an athlete are not properly trained to do the required movements correctly. My gym has many EXPERIENCED trainers who know what they are doing and know how to train athletes. I trust them and trust that in the past two years they have trained me in the correct way to perform safely and to the best of my abilities.
I am strong. Mentally and physically. I know what I'm capable of.
Thank you to all those who have and will continue to support me and I stay strong for myself and for our little one.
