So, why did I end the last post by stating "Who knows what next year will look like" as far as my triathlon/racing life goes?
Because just about the time the 2009 season gets going, I WILL BE A DAD!!!
Andy and I are super excited, and super freaked out for the next great adventure of our lives. Off we go into the great unknown of parenthood. About the only thing we know for sure right now is that our lives are for sure about to be turned upside down.
We have had one appointment already, where we got to hear the heartbeat...that was pretty cool. The nurse reported that the little a+ had a pulse of 156. And of course in true obsessive triathlete form, I immediately thought "Perfect! Clicking right along in Zone 3, nice aerobic workout, kid" Ha ha ha.
So, when will my next race be? Who knows! When will I train/eat/sleep? Who knows! But I do know that I can't wait to cross an Ironman finish line with this as yet unidentified child. That'll be pretty awesome.
Not sure what else to say, since I really don't know what is about to happen. But I am totally psyched, and can't wait to see this kid!!

Congratulations!!! You two will be awesome parents. I am not sure about how this is going to affect our training since running with a stroller has to be slower. But at least you will have to learn how to run faster down hills:) Maybe you can ride along side with a trailer.
FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this post... Congratulations to two amazing people who are going to bless the lives of one special kiddo. We're so thrilled for you guys and can't wait to hold 'a+' in person!
Congrats again to the amazing Swanson family!!!

CONGRATS! I saw Andy at FF on Saturday and learned the news. How very exciting. I love the idea of you crossing the finish line with your wee one.
You are in for the ride/race of your life. Enjoy all the moments before you little one arrives...and of course sleep.
Congrats to you both.
