25 Weeks Pregnant

Here we are week 25! I swear the days are just flying by. My favorite part of a new week is getting all the updates on my phone from the pregnancy apps. I love reading what is going on with my baby this week. This week she is the size of a cauliflower. WOW! Growing more fat and hair. Speaking of hair… I REALLY hope that old wives tale about having heartburn is true! They say.. if you have heartburn that means your baby is going to have lots of hair ;) 

Let me tell you… my heartburn has been BAD this week! I have NEVER had heartburn before in my life and since being pregnant..well lets just say I really feel for you all out there who get it on a regular basis. My love for buffalo chicken may have to be put on hold for a little while :( 

My cravings for cereal were out of control this week! I remember looking at Ryan one night and saying I really want some shredded wheat cereal. You know the kind with the white frosty sugary deliciousness smothered on top? haha yeah those! BUT I found a better alternative that satisfied my cravings just the same. Thank you Kashi cinnamon harvest! 

So good! 

If you follow me on Pinterest you have probably seen my nursery board and know I add a million things on there every day. This week I really focused on what we want to do for our little princess in her nursery. I am so excited about seeing our vision come to life! We wanted it soft and pink and girly! I love how many ideas Pinterest has and I have found so many cute Etsy shops that I can order from. I can't wait to show you guys her nursery when we have it all completed!

Some Pinterest inspiration :) 

How far along? 25 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 12 pounds  

Maternity clothes? All about being comfortable these days :) 

Stretch marks? None.  

Sleep: Sleeping good. But I am tossing and turning a little more to try to get comfortable on my sides. I find myself wanting to really sleep on my back but I have been stacking pillows on each side of me so I keep on my sides :)

Best moment this week: Honestly… the best moment was watching my stomach move around! This little girl loves to kick and kick hard! So its pretty entertaining to sit back and watch her go in there!

Miss Anything? You all know by this point I miss my blue cheese and deli subs:) But this week I was okay! 

Movement: Lots and lots AND LOTS of movement! She is the most active at night time and after I eat.

Gender: GIRL

Looking forward to: Setting up the nursery. We plan on painting soon and her furniture will be here. I have been pinning to Pinterest like crazy lately and checking out some Etsy shops. I can't wait to have it all come together! I also really looking forward to our next doctors apt so we can see our little girl again <3

24 weeks pregnant

I cannot believe I am 24 weeks pregnant! The weeks are really flying by and before we know it our little princess is going to be here. I spend the days wondering what she is going to look like! It intrigues me so much. I do know she is going to have some very blonde hair :)
I have loved every minute of this week! I have been able to remain active and healthy during my pregnancy! I continue to workout every single day with The 21 Day Fix and making healthy choices when it comes to my meals. I am still drinking my Shakeology every day! It really helps me with my sweet tooth right now!

Some workouts from The 21 Day Fix :) 

We also did some shopping this week! It was exhausting but so much fun! We ordered all her nursery furniture and picked out bedding. I cannot wait to show you guys what we have planned for her room! AHHHH I get so excited just writing about it! I will tell you its going to be PINK!!! I know it will become my favorite spot in the house <3

This week I feel like I started to POP! I just woke up one morning and my belly was BAM! I am loving it though! I really do love watching my stomach start to pop out and knowing my little one is growing stronger and bigger every day. I just sit back at times and realize… wow! I am growing this little person inside of me. This tiny little human being is going to look like me and my husband! Its crazy to think about! There is something so beautiful about pregnancy!

As I grow.. so does my closet ;) I love that I get to go shopping for some new pieces but I have been trying to pick pieces out that I already have that I can rock during pregnancy too! Maternity clothes can add up FAST! And they get expensive! I have invested in a few pair of nice jeans and tops but I still want to wear some of my clothes I have!
So… I just decided to shop in my own closet and piece together outfits with clothing I have in there!
For example.. the dress I am wearing in my 24 week picture below was one I have had in my closet for a while but I can still wear it so why not?! :) It's kinda fun shopping in your own closet :)

Sleep: Sleeping great! It takes me a little longer to get comfortable and find a position from stuffing pillows here and there but once I do I am sound asleep :) 

Best moment this week: My doctors appointment! Getting to hear our babies strong heartbeat is always awesome! I love getting to chat with my doctors. My doctors office is just so great! The whole staff makes me feel confident and comfortable .

Miss Anything? A lot this week! Blue cheese ( I know, I know! Its ridiculous isn't it?! ;) ), wine… I would love a nice glass of moscato, a sub from publix, SUSHI!!! Don't worry.. Ryan and I have it all worked out that he will be bringing me all of these things after our little girl is here <3 

Movement: Always movement! Its the best feeling ever! I love being able to see her pop up here and there. Having my stomach move around is still weird and still taking some getting used to it but it is pretty neat!

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 :)
