How is that even possible? 3rd trimester already? To be completely honest for the first 5 months I was so ready to throw the towel in, I was so so so so so sick and life felt miserable. Now I feel great and I can enjoy each and every day carrying another sweet daughter in my belly and holding and playing with one in my arms - I feel blessed. I am really trying to soak up these last few months being pregnant, I think I am indulging WAY too much but hey I didn't AT ALL with Lucy and with this one I will most likely have to work really hard to get my pre-baby body back but I am enjoying being pregnant and enjoying each day, day by day. I think that's how it's suppose to be right? Don't worry about the future {my body} and focus on the present {being pregnant and enjoying it}. There's no excuse to go all crazy though and eat whatever I want, and I haven't been, but I do indulge with ice cream here and there and yummy smoothies from coffee shops every once in a while :)
With the new year I am really ready though to eat healthier and start a workout plan to prepare for baby. Including some forms of yoga, basic lunges, squats and push ups etc. and plenty of nice walks with Lucy and hubby. I walked my butt off with Lucy and I really need to get on it with this pregnancy It totally helped, and my labor was fast. You'd think that would be motivation enough right? :) Well I bought myself a new pair of running walking shoes and that helped a lot, I am super ready to start this workout plan. After all I do have a degree in Exercise Science.. I probably should get my butt into gear ;)
How far along: 26 Weeks

You're just so darn beautiful!! I am beyond excited to learn baby girl's name!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even thought about lil man's nursery... things are so much different this time around. I don't have time to sit and pin all day & evening and since we're redoing our downstairs bedroom for Matt and I to move into and then shifting Claire into our room (after painting it), I haven't had the ability to think that far ahead. Happy 3rd tri/26 weeks to us! Xo Sadie!
You are too sweet pretty mama! Xoxo I totally know what you mean, since we are trying to buy a house I'm trying not to plan/prep too much in our houses now; but I am such a planner that it's killing me; so we are going to at least get a little corner of our bedroom ready for her! With Lucy I am pretty sure her nursery was just about finished by now :) things are way diff with number 2. Sounds like you guys have your hands full as well! I'll be praying for lots of extra energy for all that re-arranging 😉 xoxo happy 3rd trimester love!
