Past the half way mark and feeling ready...

It's been a long time since I posted. I am now at 21 weeks preggers and am feeling great! We have a LOT of shenanigans going on around here  and I don't even have my normal computer hooked up to post any pics. I will do that once it's connected. If you know me you know that I am a girl who loves her afternoon cocktails and wine and am really struggling with that during this pregnancy. But I know it will come soon enough so I am just trying to enjoy it while it lasts. I read a lot of blogs and articles about fitness and weight loss and am already eager to lose weight. Of course, I can't yet but I am hoping that this could be a sign that I will be extremely motivated once the acrobat that's in my belly shows her beautiful face! Oh, did I just say she.... yes another girl...yikes! Help me now! I have the perfect cure (wine) for dealing with two girls after everything is said and done.  That might put a little damper and losing the baby weight fast but I feel confident I will stay head strong and focused on how I will feel once the weight is gone. Happy Hump Day!

12 Weeks and the toddler

I am at 12 weeks and 3 days today. FINALLY not feeling nauseous! I didn't have that with the first so that was a huge adjustment for me. I am having a hard balancing being pregnant again and handling a 2 1/2 year old. Even though I stay home, I feel like there is so much to do and by the time I get done working out in the morning then attempting my daily goals and playing and teaching the little one all day, I AM DONE by the time 3-4 o'clock rolls around. I am really trying to find my inner spunkiness (is that a word?) to help with the rest of the day. As for working out and running, the doc gave me the ok to keep doing what I am doing until told otherwise. I put in 5 miles today plus a workout and about an hour after working out my arms felt like they were going to fall off. I haven't gained any weight yet but I know that won't last long. My intention is to at least get me arms in shape and keep my legs decent that way I can bounce back a little quicker than last time. I am glad the holidays are done that way I can focus on all this other stuff . Hope you all enjoyed the holidays!

 Happy New Year!

Big News!!

Well I haven't done an update on how the hubs and I did when we did our little cleaning because as soon as I finished the cleanse, which was 2 weeks long, the hubs and I found out that WE'RE PREGNANT!! I lost about 7 pounds doing it and of course hubby lost double that but now it doesn't matter since I will be gaining for the next 7 months! I will try to keep updates on here and my plan is to still run and workout as normal or until my doctor says otherwise:) I would love to hear any feedback from any of you who kept your pregnancy weight normal with eating right and exercising. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Living Room

Good Morning,
 The hubs and I are thinking of painting our living room and are trying to come up with some good ideas for concepts. I am loving the idea of 2 tone paint but not sure if he will go for it. Here are a couple thoughts I have:

Not necessarily these colors but the concept. If and when we decide on something I will do before and after shots. Happy Sunday!
