Team Beachbody

Today I start a new adventure.

I am officially a Beachbody Coach :)

I'm going to go on my very own personal journey through health and fitness to start achieving my goals. I'm going to work hard and bust my booty to have a healthy pregnancy and and continue for a healthier lifestyle postpartum. 
I decided to become a Beachbody Coach so I can hold myself accountable for my health and fitness and not self-sabotage. I needed that extra accountability!
And I want to take you with me!

If there is anyone out there who is looking to improve their lifestyle, lose weight or gain muscle, or just feel healthier with more energy - then please come on this journey with me. We can do it together! It won't be easy and we'll have to work really hard but I know we can do it!

Beachbody can provide you with all the tools you need to succeed! And I'm here to help you every step of the way.

I just bought my first Challenge Pack. Next week, as soon as I receive it, I'll be starting the 21 Day Fix as well as some yummy Chocolate Shakeology [which is safe for other pregnant mommy's like me & it can provide that extra energy we are needing!]

I'm looking forward to this new adventure. A journey to a better me, and you ;)

Today.

I'm into the 8 week of pregnancy (i think)

& I'M EXHAUSTED.

I don't remember being this tired when I was pregnant with Caroline. [It could be that I'm chasing around a 17 Month old] I'm not really sure.

All I know is I want to stay in bed all day. And even when I'm up and doing things, I just can't wake up completely. Coffee doesn't do it for me, unfortunately.

I guess I'll just patiently await the 2nd trimester so I can get some energy back.

On the flip side, my first doctors appointment is getting closer. Next week we get to go see what our little bun in the oven looks like with an ultrasound.

AND I'm super excited to get the new blood test that they do these days. The one where it tells you with like 95% certainty what the gender is.
^Those tests were made for people like me, I'm so impatient.

Father's Day 2015

Father's Day 2015 was a success.

I got to spend the morning with my wonderful husband, who is an amazing father. I don't know what we would do without all of his support. He is our rock. & I fall more and more in love when watching him and Caroline together. 
He went and played golf the rest of the afternoon - it's what he wanted to do today, 
so that's what he did!

My dad and brother came over to Alabama for the day. It was their first time seeing our new house. 
We went and explored Downtown Fairhope and then went into Daphne for lunch. 
I think I found my Thai food hot spot. [Nothing will ever replace The Thai House back home, but if I can't have it- then Bangkok Thai House is my place.] It was delicious. & we finished up our day with the U.S Open. 
I hate saying bye, but obviously I had to let them leave me - they had to drive back to Niceville. 

Caroline and I took us a bubble bath - full of all the foam letters and numbers you could imagine. We counted and spelled out all kinds of words - she thought it was fun. I know this because of her laughter. She thinks it's extra funny to spell her name.. not sure why - but I'll go with it :)
Then my husband returned from his day of golf and we had a relaxing evening cuddling on the couch watching Modern Family. [These are the moments]

Perfect Day.

Those Pregnancy Surveys


So since we just found out that we're expecting baby #2
I figured I'd do one of those "pregnancy surveys"
You know the ones.. The ones that everyone does.

1.) When did you find out you were pregnant? Friday June 5th 

2.) How far along are you? Not exactly sure- we haven't been to the doctor's yet- but according to the BabyBump app, it looks like I'm about 6 weeks. (could be right, could be wrong)

3.) Your due date? Like I said above, not exactly sure yet- but it looks like February

3.) Do you think you're having a boy or a girl? I think it's too early to go one way or another

4.) Think you're having or are having twins/multiples? They don't run in my family so I would say most likely not

5.) If it's a boy, what will you name him? He would be a III of course :)

6.) If it's a girl, what will you name her? That's a secret for the time being! But trust me, I've had a possibility list going for quite some time now!

7.) Have you gained any wieght, how much? Literally just found out and I've been working out sooooooo I've been working on losing weight. 

8.) What are you craving? No real cravings yet. 

9.) What food do you hate? Nothing yet and I hope it stays that way

10.) What are your symptoms today? I've just been really sad and emotional- that's all though. 

11.) Have you had a scan yet? Not yet but we're scheduled for July 1st!

12.) Have you bought anything yet? What? Too soon for that! But, I've got my eye on some things

13.) Is this your first baby? If not which number? This will be baby #2. Caroline is going to be a big sister :)

14.) Are you single, married, or engaged? Married to an amazing man & an even more amazing daddy

15.) How old are you? 25

16.) If he's a boy are you going to have him circumsized? That's not even a real question, I'm sorry. Yes.

17.) Are you going to breast feed? Absolutely. I plan on trying to do the same I did with Caroline. But I won't starve my child either, so if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. 

18.) How are you feeling today (emotionally)? Excited. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Exhausted. But mostly excited. 

19.) How do you plan on giving birth? Naturally? C-section? Drugs? No drugs? Sue me for saying this, but I will definitely be getting the epidural. [everyone has the right to go through child birth however they choose]

In Other Big News!

My last post was filled with news
& great news I might add.

Well now I've got more for you. 

So we moved in on Tuesday,
want to guess what happened on Friday?

Due to a certain amount of uncontrollable emotions, (I'm talking tears left & right)
and my husband will tell you, a little more moody (than usual)..
I decided to take one of those tests.
You know, the one that says Positive or Negative at the end?
#pregnancytest
:)

Well.
We got a big ol' +

That's right. We're on our way to baby #2!

Obviously I haven't been to the doctor yet (but I have made my appointment) so we don't have an exact due date or know exactly how far along I am 
BUT
according to the wonderful apps you can find in the iPhone app store it looks like I am 6 weeks today. So we found out at 5 weeks & 4 days. 
& the app says our due date is February 3rd! 

We're pretty excited!
So I wanted to share the news!

Here goes another adventure :)
