At the very most, 7 weeks and 4 days until baby girl arrives, but who is counting?! I still have to get the nursery finished, or started. Oh yeah, and we still have no name...keep the suggestions coming, please. A lot has happened since my last update, at 26 weeks. We are having fun and enjoying our last few months as a family of three. We also took family/maternity pictures last week, which I can't wait to get back! How far along? 31.5 Weeks Total weight gai[...]
Today we are about 26 weeks along! I feel like it's been a while since I've checked in, as the last 6 weeks has been pretty busy, but oh so fun! Ryan competed in two triathlons, and improved a lot on his second one! So fun to watch, and Jaxon just loves it. I took a much needed girls trip to Scottsdale, AZ and had the best, most relaxing time. Check out my travel guide here. Last weekend we went to the ZBB Concert with friends, and they were great like always. &nb[...]
Being pregnant, I sometimes have weird cravings, and more than likely they are pretty unhealthy. I don't think this has to be a pregnancy thing though..how many of you in the evening are like "I really need something sweet!"? I thought it would be fun to share some of my "kravings" and some healthier alternatives to satisfy them. Chocolate Cake or Brownies Try this instead: Double Chocolate Mighty Muffin (the best part is they are warm and gooey!) 220 calories: 21g carbs, 8[...]
Here is a day of eating for me, with macros included. It's not perfect, not even close, but it's reality haha. The totals above: 1655 calories- 98p, 216c, 54f Goal: 1900 calories- 100p, 240c, 60f I worked out today, so these numbers are for active days, and the amounts are helping me to gain about .5 - 1 pound per week : ) Here is what I ate, in order of pictures above, left to right. Gluten free rolled oats with collagen peptides, almond butter, a dash of maple syrup and blueberr[...]
I've been getting a lot more pregnancy questions, blog topic ideas, etc. from friends and clients, which helped me come up with this fun post. I had already decided I wanted to have a fun summer with Jaxon, as it's our last with just me and him, and obviously our last as a family of three. Each day I have with just him, I try to be more present, less phone, less TV, and more playing! The other day him and I came up with a fun list of things we want to do together and/or as a family of three b[...]
Whoa, we're half way there!! 20 weeks in! Most days I feel pretty good, just tired, and tend to sneak in an afternoon nap when Jaxon does : ) Since I lasted updated you all, we've had quite a busy, but fun summer. Father's Day, two weekends up at the lake, family in town, my dad's birthday, concert nights, 4th of July, the zoo, etc. We've also been able to sneak in some date nights, double date nights, and girls nights out too! How far along? 20 Weeks Tot[...]
Today we are 16 weeks in! (to be honest I thought it was 17 weeks, but saw the reality on my pregnancy app this morning..ugh) I continue to feel good, just tired by the end of the day! It seems like I'll have a lot of energy for 2-4 days, and then kind of a crash day where I don't have much energy, and it's just that cycle on repeat. But happy to get a lot done when I do have that energy! We announced on social media during week 15 that we were expecting! Jaxon has named the baby "Suzi[...]
If you guys haven't heard the news, we are having a baby! A baby girl, due on November 22nd, Thanksgiving Day! We are beyond excited and so is Jaxon. I guess I am more than anything doing these "bumpdate" blogs for myself to have and look back on. I know it's not what I normally blog about, but I'm going to put these under the "family" tab, and if you want to keep updated on my pregnancy journey this time around, feel free! And if not, I totally understand! I'll also try to include tips/t[...]
