My dear friend, Tracy, called me last night. She was just checking me up. Well, she said, she missed me. I kinda miss her, too, actually. But, she must have missed me more. 
Her phone call really made me laugh. The excitement even made me get a sudden insomnia (I have never had insomnia before, trust me!).
Tracy told me her session with her doctor. She said she almost got mad at him for telling her not to bike anymore. FYI, she goes to her office by bicycle. 15 miles away.
She’s been asking me to do the same, bike to work. But, too bad, I’m not a biking person. I’m more like a jogging kind of girl. However, don’t tell me to run or even walk to the office. By the time I reach the building, I’ll get cramps on my legs. It’s 30 miles away from home. I’d rather jog in a park!
Anyway, back to Tracy. So, her doctor told her not to bike to office anymore.
She said, “Why not? It’s been making me healthy! I need to do it. I want it.”
“It won’t be healthy anymore,” said the doctor.
“Does it have something to do with the irregularity of my periods lately?”
The doctor nodded.
“But, when can I start biking to work again?” asked Tracy.
“9 or 10 months from now, I guess,” answered the doctor.
“That long?!” Tracy got totally surprised.
“Yes, you’ll give birth within the next 8 months. And I think you’d better wait for another one or two months after that to start biking again.”
“Are you saying that I’m pregnant?!” She got more surprised.
And, so was I.
Tracy’s been waiting for this pregnancy since 6 years ago. Her first child is 8 years old now.
Wow! Congratulations, Tracy, Ben (her husband), Kelly (her daughter). Can’t wait ’til we all can see the healthy baby who’s been accompanying her mom biking to work for the last 1 month.
