WE’RE HAVING A….

WE’RE HAVING A….

GIRL!!!  (see reveal video below) We  weren’t sure if we wanted to do the whole “reveal” thing. But I’m so glad we did! Mike will soon be deployed so this was our final shot to hit the beach with our island ohana and find out if in August we’ll be welcoming a little girl or boy.  I REALLY have had no clue. Dreams have been about both, so choosing a prediction was impossible.  Mike was still firmly convinced we were having a GIRL (daddy’s intuition) and Mac was holding out for a baby brother.  But she has warmed up well,…

#19weekspregnant Bump and Baby Update. It’s a… Mango 😂 or size of a mango 😊, and we’re almost 1/2 way there 😳 . We had planned to do our gender reveal last weekend, but it’s been postponed, so the envelop is still sealed and baby’s gender remains a mystery. Daddy thinks it’s another girl, Big sister thinks it’s a boy, and mama genuinely has NO CLUE. We had a fun and relaxingstaycation/ babymoon/ predeployment vacay last week, but are now back home and life is in full swing as we prepare for Mike’s upcoming deployment. I’m still working out, staying…

Please DON’T judge my messy garage 😉 . These are my confessions of a Stay at Home, Work from Home, ambitious mama…. and former scrub hoarder ðŸ˜‰ Operation Downsize, Nesting, and Garage remodel in full effect….   {long but worth it post ALERT!} Before Mike deploys and comes home to us becoming a family of 4 we decided to use a few days of his leave to put a major dent in our home “projects”, downsize, and get prepared.  Going through everything has jolted some major feelings of gratitude and reflection.  One in particular… a box of my nursing scrubs, books,…

#18weekspregnant Bump and Baby Update. Baby is the size of a Bell Pepper, which is appropriate because I LOVE grubbing on some Bell Peppers with hummus these days 😊 We just had the babes anatomy screening yesterday, and the results are in on baby’s gender 🤗😄🙌🏼 which are now in a “sealed” envelope on the counter, and we’ll find out at our gender reveal end of the week Eeeeeeeeeeee!!

Pregnancy Journal & Bump Date: 17 weeks

#17weekspregnant Bump and Baby Update. . Baby is the size of an Onion, and mama is noticing much more “volume” 😊 ALL over but especially in the TATAS region 😂 . I’m still working out daily, doing 3-4 days of resistance/weights, and now that we’re in the 2nd trimester and feeling more energetic I’m layering back in cardio and HIIT work, and 2 days of Hot Yoga. . As far as GRUB…. Meat (mainly fish 🐟) is becoming more palatable YEAY 🙌🏼 and I am so thankful my morning/all day sickness had passed. But I’m still LOVING all the veggies…
