24 Weeks


Okay, I've allotted myself 8 minutes to blog before I need to get Joshua up for the day. So here goes a quick pregnancy update!!


I feel: fantastic, unless I have to work a long shift or sit in a chair for long periods of time. I love this phase of pregnancy. I hired a personal trainer at the end of my first trimester to help me stay motivated to keep in shape, and I've been working out 4-5 days a week. It's made a huge difference this time around.


I've gained: 20 pounds so far!!! Who woulda thought by looking at that picture?! With Joshua I gained 25 pounds total throughout the pregnancy, so I'm sure to surpass that mark this time around. It's okay though; my body will do exactly what it needs to do. And I'm still UNDER what my pre-pregnancy weight with Joshua was! Crazy.


I love: feeling the baby move so much more, that I can find extra-small maternity clothing at Target, that Pea in a Pod carries sexy maternity jeans, that my hair and skin glow with minimal effort, that my belly is now an unmistakably pregnant one to the rest of the world, that I have the most amazing midwives ever, and that this pregnancy is going by much faster than the first one.


I tend to dislike: the occasional leg cramps at night. I've found a great homeopathic rememdy for the them, but sometimes a few will sneak in. The bloating and gas if I wait too long to eat... ugh. Round ligament pain. Hmm... not too much to dislike at this point, but then again, I am in the honeymoon phase...


Well, I could write more, but my 8 minutes are up! Next time, I'll do a Joshua update. He's the most adorable child on the planet, I swear. :)

Katie, you look A-MA-ZING. I am looking for a great trainer (I need help strengthen my back since I have a bad back) and I was wondering who your trainer is. Let me know! Way to be a hot mom - too many people let themselves go and its nice to see someone put forth the effort to stay healthy and hot. =)
