17 Weeks Pregnant

Another week down! WOW! Where is the time going? This week was so busy for us with Thanksgiving and family in town visiting. It has been non stop fun.

I was welcomed with something I have NEVER experienced before this week…. HEARTBURN! Oh my goodness! That stuff is no joke and NO FUN! It seemed like no matter what I was eating I was getting it! The first night I got it I was laying in bed and just felt this disgusting burn rising in my chest and throat. I started researching ways I could get rid of it naturally and found my solution! Coconut water!! Oh yes! Instant, soothing relief! I always have coconut water in my fridge so down it went!

I have also had more of a sweet tooth this week! It came out of no where. AHHHH!!! It has been so hard to keep my sweet tooth in check but I am trying! I find I do better if I have my Shakeology first thing in the morning. Apples with peanut butter have been my go to treat and Pinterest is helping me come up with some creative snack ideas to keep it in check too. And let's just be honest for a minute… food tastes AMAZING these days. I can't get enough of it :) I won't even tell you how much I had to eat on Thanksgiving :) :) 

I will just show you…. ;) 

The baby really enjoyed some turkey, stuffing and apple pie ;) 

I am keeping up with my workouts and continuing to do Chalean Extreme. I try to workout 6 days a week and I am incorporating prenatal yoga in too. The yoga has been AMAZING for my sore muscles and it really helps get a good stretch in! Not to mention it is seriously relaxing! I have never been one for yoga but I find it so comforting some mornings. It's my quiet time <3 

How far along? 17 weeks 

Total weight gain/loss: 5 pounds! 

Maternity clothes? Still none yet! I did do some shopping and on black friday for some super cute tops that I am sure I will be wearing soon :) 

Stretch marks? None! YAY!!! 

Sleep: I slept reallyyyyy good this week! Im not sure if it was a mixture of all the food I indulged in and constantly on the go or what but I slept hard and great! Still had some super weird dreams! 

Best moment this week: Having my grandma in town and doing some shopping with her :) We had so much fun picking out some cute outfits for little baby P. She is going to be well dressed! Little girl clothes are so much fun!!!!

Miss Anything? No… 

Movement: No movement yet. 

Food cravings: SWEETS! It was so bad this week! I wanted chocolate and sugar like I have never wanted it before. Salty, sweet, chocolatey whatever I can get my hands on. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Gender: Still a girl :) 

Labor Signs: No, no… cook a little longer baby ;)

Symptoms: No symptoms this week..

Belly Button in or out? in

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy all the time. I can't help it :) 

Looking forward to: Our appointment in a week, so we can see our little girl again <3 I can't wait to see how much she has grown

Her closet is filling up fast! She is one loved little baby <3 <3 <3 

Enjoying a beautiful sunset with my grandma. She is so excited to become a great grandma!

16 Weeks Pregnant

OH MY OH MY!!! The time is flying by! 16 weeks! It feels like just yesterday I was finding out I was pregnant. I was told by a lot of people that it goes by so fast and they were right! I have enjoyed every single moment of my pregnancy so far! I have had so much energy lately so my house is staying super clean and I am constantly trying to find something to do. A new project, crafts, getting little baby p's room ready :)


I am starting to get a little bit of a belly <3 It likes to pop out somedays and other days its like its not there at all. I can't wait until I have a nice big round belly!

How far along? 16 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 5 pounds! 

Maternity clothes? Still no maternity clothes! Still in my regular jeans. They are beginning to fit tighter but I can still get them on :) 

Stretch marks? Lotion morning and night and no signs of stretch marks yet! 

Sleep: Starting to sleep better! I try not to drink so much water at night before bed because when I do I have to wake up and pee a million times. And I am starting to have some WEIRD vivid dreams. I can't help but laugh at some of the things I am dreaming!

Best moment this week: Looking at baby stuff :) Its all so cute! 

Miss Anything? Not really.. getting over my NEED for bleu cheese haha 

Movement: None yet, but the doctor told me to expect to feel something in the next couple weeks so I can't wait for that!

Food cravings: ahhh… cheese and mustard sandwiches!!!! WHAT? haha so weird but oh so so so good :) 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope 

Gender: Still a little mini me… my little princess <3

Happy or Moody most of the time: SUPER happy :) 

Looking forward to: Our next appointment for our ultrasound so we can see how much baby girl has grown :) Can't wait to see her again <3 

I really have had an amazing pregnancy so far. I had no morning sickness, I did have a couple days of nausea early in. I am doing my best to eat healthy (minus all those cravings I just can't help sometimes). and continue with my workouts at home. I made a promise to myself that I would remain healthy and fit during my pregnancy and I am doing my best to make sure that happens :) 

A little video of me doing Chalean Extreme. I have been doing this program with no problems. There are some moves I have to modify at times and I make sure I listen to my body and stop and rest when I need to. 

I also ordered this program to try as well. I heard prenatal yoga is great so I will keep you updated and let you know what I think :) 

Thanks for visiting and please check back! I will be updating every week on this amazing journey <3 <3
