Great Article About Crossfitting While Pregnant

This is a great article about a girl who continued to CF while pregnant. Even though I no longer run and will gain more than the 21 lbs she did, I can still relate to how she felt about continuing to stay active. The habits I formed in the year pre-pregnancy have definitely made a huge impact on how I feel each day. I hope to continue to remain active the remaining 11 weeks!

I think we did so much this week we might just take a break from the to do list for the week.

Highlight of the week: I had my 24 week check up this past week. This appointment included the dreadful gestational diabetes test but I passed with flying colors with a fasting sugar of 80. Now this doesn’t give me the green light to go on a sugar craze but I can at least keep my diet the same.

Exercise regimen: Crossfit x 5

Maternity Clothes:  Wearing some of my regular shirts and comfy pants but mostly maternity. Workout clothes are getting to be a little tight so I bought some more shorts this week. Need longer tank tops to wear now that it is getting warmer.

Pregnancy Symptoms: I am waking up in the middle of the night with sore hips because of all the side sleeping…I have to try and stay on one side or the other because you are not supposed to sleep on your back after a certain point in pregnancy. I read where hormones are loosening up the ligaments and joints in my hips so this could be the culprit. A friend suggested I buy a cushioned mattress pad so I plan to shop for one this week.

Item(s) I could not live without: Such supportive friends and family.

Anything else worth mentioning? Made another trip to Canton…this time I found some cute wall decor for the room and lots of headbands and bows…and jalapeño ranch popcorn!!

The BIG Reveal...a little late.

I just realized I never posted the pics from our anniversary/baby gender reveal. I thought better late than never! It was such a fun night. We went to dinner at Cat City Grill and who would have thought it would be so busy for a Monday night. Apparently the manager didn't because the restaurant kitchen was seriously understaffed. We wanted to take our time and enjoy dinner but we were still very anxious to make it to dessert and cut into the cake and find out if we were having a boy or girl...eternity 2 hours later we FINALLY made it to dessert...and all of you know the rest of the story. After dinner we had to hurry up and call family and close friends and also finish the chalk board update to post. Such a fun and memorable night!

Finally Time for Dessert

Boy or GIRL??
