38 Weeks Pregnant!

2 Weeks to go! I can tell that my body is progressing in preparation for birth. But as much as I am ready for this pregnancy to be over, I really don't see little miss showing up early. She's stubborn like her mama and big sis lol

Over the past week I have started incorporating some things into my day that will hopefully get labor going. With Shealeigh I fully believe it was an intense workout that did it with her. So I am considering doing that in the next couple days! But if that doesn't work, the nesting will probably do the trick. I spent ALL afternoon on Sunday just cleaning everything non stop.

More than anything I am just so ready to be on maternity leave and snuggling a newborn through the Holidays and watching Jackson and Shealeigh get to know their baby sister!

37 Weeks Pregnant!

I made it to full term! Which means little miss is more than welcome to make her grand appearance whenever she is ready ♥️

This past week I have apparently been nesting and poor Ian is being dragged along. I have been doing so many random things including cleaning the garage, because ya know you need to have a clean garage when having a new baby lol

Also if you checkout the side by side picture, I feel like I have dropped. That is last week vs this week.

Time to place your bets, when do you think little miss will be born?!
- Due date: November 8th
- Jackson was induced at 39+1
- Shealeigh was 40+2

What exercises should be avoided during pregnancy?

Ultimately there aren't many exercises that need to be avoided during pregnancy. Exercising during pregnancy is mostly using common sense and listening to your body.

Always start light and work your way up to more intense exercises and heavier weights. If you are experiencing any form of pain then back off of that specific exercise by either modifying or doing something else. Avoid physical activities that could cause you to fall such as high box jumps, and avoid physical activity that involves high contact with others such as boxing, soccer, and softball. And finally you would want to avoid exercises that intentionally raise your core body temperature such as hot yoga.

If you are ever unsure about what exercises you can do during pregnancy, don't hesitate to talk to your doctor. Even if they don't feel comfortable giving you detailed guidelines, they should be able to refer you to someone who can.

34 Weeks Pregnant!

Aside from my heartburn being at an all time high and the muscles in my back burning by the end of the day, I don't have any other updates.

We are all getting very excited to meet the newest addition to our family. And I am confident that the kiddos know exactly whats going on. They love seeing the baby, aka lifting my shirt to look at my belly. And Jackson will nuzzle his head against my belly, truly the cutest thing! It's going to be so fun watching them help take care of this little babe ♥️

Which is best for weight loss?

The fact is that it is important to do both cardio and weightlifting for overall health!

However, weightlifting is capable of producing faster results. As your muscles get stronger, they are capable of burning more calories at a quicker rate.
But let me also add that the "quicker route" is not always the best route. If you prefer more cardio focused workouts then do that! Results come from being consistent, and it is a lot easier to be consistent when you enjoy your workouts.

33 Weeks Pregnant!

Aside from packing our hospital bags we are just playing the waiting game, everything else is ready to go.

Earlier this week I started taking an iron supplement everyday to try and bring my iron levels up, I haven't noticed an obvious difference yet but maybe by my 34 week check-in I will be able to let you know more.

I also started my 3 week fitness challenge with a few other ladies. I'm doing all the modifications, and determined to successfully workout for 3 straight weeks. It's been too long and my body is feeling it. Being able to workout like I used to is probably the thing I am looking forward to the most after giving birth!

4 more weeks till I am considered full term 🩷

Weight gain is inevitable during pregnancy and this graphic shows you why.

Everyone gains weight differently during pregnancy and there are several factors involved but hopefully this breakdown can help you better understand where some of the added weight is coming from.

Btw, this graphic is just on average. With my first 2 I only gained 20 pounds and they each weighed 7.7 at birth. And so far with my 3rd I'm on track to do it again. I also know women who gained well over 30 pounds and gave birth to 5-6 pound baby's.

Just remember, every pregnancy is different in it's own way!

31 Weeks Pregnant!!

9 weeks and counting till we get to meet this little girl 🩷 Right now she is loving to kick my belly button and sometimes it's so forceful that it actually makes me jump.

Over the weekend we painted her room and started decorating it and when we asked who's room it will be he says, "baby sissy (insert her name)". Both kiddos are just so dang excited to meet her!

And yes, we do have her name picked out (still no middle name though 🙈)

30 Weeks Pregnant!

Officially in the 10 week countdown to this little girls arrival and only 7 more weeks till she is considered full term!

This weekend we will start getting the nursery together 😍

As for me, I woke up this morning feeling 10x bigger. Putting my shoes on and bending over to pick anything up is a chore. And every time I lay down this little girl starts flipping around in a very dramatic manner lol

29 WEEKS Pregnant!

We're almost to the 10 week countdown ⏰
Little miss loves to do this new thing where she slides her foot along the underneath/backside of my ribs and it is the weirdest feeling! My glucose results also came back and they are normal, however I am anemic (no surprise there) so I will be starting an iron supplement.

And in a little over a week we will start painting the baby's room! 😍 I bought her some cute little sandals today for only a $1 each!!
