Super cute!!! I can’t stop laughing at the fact that you look more sweaty and tired after a workout. It looks like you sneezed and she popped right out. Please go eat every single food you weren’t allowed to eat for 10 months (still can’t believe that!). You deserve it! P.S. I never used to crave Swedish fish but now I think about it everyday! Make me crave running next, will you? I need to burn off these delicious fish!
