2012 Mini Marathon!

This baby already has a full marathon under its belt and today it earned its first medal for a half marathon :) Zach and Lauren walked the course in 3:33:28 despite her being 38 weeks 2 day pregnant, temps in the upper 70s by the time the race ended and the humidity being about 10000%. The baby slept the whole time and Lauren only had 2 or 3 contractions and never stopped to pee (despite taking in massive amounts of water and gatorade) so they finished about 22 minutes faster than they'd expected. Zach wore his Captain America costume t-shirt and wore his frisbee shield on his back. He got lots of comments, especially when he put his cowl on! But Lauren got even more attention in her shirt that read, "Does this baby make my belly look big?" on the back and "Due May 17th" on the front. Feeling very fortunate to have been able to complete a half marathon at this stage of pregnancy! (Oh, and Lauren lost another good chunk of her plug right before leaving the house for the race! Combined with all that walking and the 'Supermoon' occurring that night, it was probably her best chance of going into labor before 40 weeks. Not surprisingly, it didn't happen ;)
