"Little Momma"

So, the soccer season is done for me. I ended my portion of the playing year with a tournament this last weekend in Revelstoke. We played three games in two days: two wins, one loss. It was alot of fun, though we had only enough players to fill the field, with no substitutes on the side-lines. Therefore, this "Little Momma" (as I my jersey labeled me) played each game fully, with no breaks. And if any of you know the extent of running that centre mid-field requires, you can imagine how exhausted I was. But OH WHAT FUN it is!!! (I love soccer!)

In this photo Zach has run out to me on the field between halves to let me know he's cheering for me!!

Now, in case anyone is wondering, as I did also, if my losing the "twin" in my womb had anything to do with my playing such an aggressive sport: it didn't.
Before the tourney this past weekend I "barged" into my doctor's office with this huge question weighing on my chest! My very compassionate and wise doctor strongly assured me that there was nothing I did to risk this pregnancy, and there was nothing I could have done to save that baby. It was a natural, and fairly common, circumstance. In fact, had I not had that early ultra-sound to try and find my "dates" I probably never would have even known that there were two babies in my womb. The "twin" was not a "viable pregnancy".
In fact, my doctor told me that I could play soccer up until 8 months along if I wanted to. However, I feel that I can't keep up my breath, and get winded easier than usual. My team, although they don't want to see me go, is quite protective/concerned for me on the field. I will continue going to practices as I feel able to, but will no longer play in the high-paced games.
Oh well, there's always next year!! ;)
