I might be carrying an extra 30lbs, but I can still hike up that mountain!

As a Personal Trainer exercise has been very important to me, infact after I miscarried it was the only thing that seemed to make me happy. During my current pregnancy, the first 3 months I was sick everyday, but still I continued to lift weights. After the first trimester I just couldn't do it anymore, I wanted to sleep! When I first got pregnant I was determined and had even convinced myself, that I was still going to out everyday, but my body had other plans, and I listened, I slept when I needed to, ate when I needed to and went for walks when I needed too. Although I haven't worked out for 6 months, I definatly think it has helped me through this pregnancy process, and today I even hiked up Giants Head Mountain! Although I did it a little slower than before! Just because your body can't do what it used to do before baby, don't be disappointed, stay as healthy as you can and enjoy planning your new workout plan for after baby comes! I'm excited to work out with the little one strapped to me in a baby carrier!

Nesting, Nesting and Nesting

Are you ever really ready for baby to come? Crib check, change table check, clothes check. I find I spend my days organizing baskets, and then reorganizing baskets. I have his bath basket ready in the main bathroom, and his bathroom drawer ready in our bathroom, I have diapers and creams ready in his room, I've organized his clothes biggest to smallest, short sleeve to long sleeve, washed all his bottles and soothers. I feel my house is ready to welcome this little one, but I don't feel ready yet, but then again are you ever really ready. Only 39 days to go!
