Next time someone seems impressed that I taught Zumba until I was almost 8 months pregnant I'm going to tell them to look up the name Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi next time they are on google.
Malaysian shooter Nur Suryani Mohamed
Taibi will be 35 weeks along in her first pregnancy when she competes in the 2012 London Olympics.
HOW COOL IS THAT?
The 29-year-old and her husband are super excited to be having their first child due Sept.2 (less than a month after the Games end.) and have checked with their doctor to make sure Nur Suryani and baby are healthy enough to make the trip and compete. At this point everything checks out and all plans for competing are a go (but they have mentioned the baby comes first and the Olympics after that.... good parenting priorities if you ask me)
You know how everyone and their mama thinks its their place to give you their opinion about what you should or shouldn't be doing when your pregnant....
I bet those malaysian busy bodys are going nutts with this one. Haha.
I just think she is the cutest thing ever. She jokes about not being about to compete in the "prone position" (on her stomach) and in one interview she says its not her nerves she will be trying to calm inside her. "I will talk to the baby before I compete... 'no kicking, stay calm for one hour and 15 minutes only please'",
Lots of athletes might be upset about not being able to compete at 100% but this soon-to-be-mama is loving every minute of it. She says she feels like she has an advantage... not a disadvantage. She says its two people working towards one GOLD!!!!
Just think if she was a Christian it would be a 3 man team and unbeatable.
what does she compete in?!?
